7 Things You Need To See In The Final Logan Trailer

With Hugh Jackman about to hang up his adamantium claws forever, all eyes are on Logan to provide a worthy final bow for the Wolverine. If he really does have to go - after 9 films over a record-breaking 17 years - if'd be nice if he could make his exit with his best ever outing as the character. A loose adaptation of the Old Man Logan storyline from recent comics, Logan is set in a dystopian version of the future (again) where mutants are all but extinct (also again). What makes this one different though is that it looks to be a stripped-back human drama, with lots of juicy R-rated action thrown in for good measure. The moody, emotional approach of the first trailer did a great job of getting fans pumped for the movie and thankfully, the latest preview continues to impress. Unusually for a big studio movie, though, this will also be the last trailer we get - as Fox want to keep most of the film under wraps until it arrives in cinemas this March. Some critics have already seen the first 40 minutes or so though and have given it raving reviews, which bodes very well for the whole picture. Could it be as big a success for the franchise as last year's Deadpool? We'll have to wait and see, but hopes are certainly high. While you wait for Jackman's final outing as Wolvie to arrive in theatres, join us as we look back at 7 of the most interesting scenes from the new trailer and discuss their importance. 7) Logan And Laura Go Shopping The second trailer begins on a fun, low-key scene where Dafne Keen's Laura helps herself to some pringles and sunglasses from a gas station store. When the attendant tries to stop her, Laura nonchalantly flips him over and almost kills him... until Logan arrives in time to stop her and tell her off. Though not before he snatches up some cigars for the road. It's probably a coincidence, but this brings to mind a similar scene from Netflix's Stranger Things where Eleven, a similarly super-powered child, uses her telekinetic abilities to steal some food from a supermarket. Seeing as that show was partially inspired by X-Men comics, it makes sense for an X-Men movie to return the favour. It's also worth mentioning that the inclusion of a working gas station suggests that Logan's setting isn't as post-apocalyptic as we'd previously expected. The film's main location on the Mexican border made it seem like the world was now little more than a Mad Max-esque desolate wasteland, but it looks like it's actually in pretty decent shape. 6) We Got Ourselves An X-Men Fan Speaking of X-Men comics, the trailer gives us the unexpected reveal that Marvel's comics about the children of the atom actually exist in the X-Men movie universe. "We got ourselves an X-Men fan," Logan says, when he finds a couple of Laura's The Uncanny X-Men comics. Judging by his following line of dialogue - "maybe a quarter of it happened, but not like this" - it seems that the X-Men's many exploits over the years spawned a comic book series. This is at odds with most of the previous movies depicting Xavier's team as social pariahs rather than celebrated heroes. Perhaps, in the post-Days of Future Past timeline, the X-Men did become the fully-fledged superheroes from the comic book world. However, this probably came to an end when whatever tragedy caused mutant kind to die out. As Logan flicks through the book, we can see that it features classic comic depictions of Rogue, Storm and, most importantly, Wolverine - complete with his traditional yellow outfit. Fans had been hoping that Jackman would finally don the costume on screen in this movie, but - even if he doesn't - at least it appears in Logan in some form. 5) X-23 Can Handle Herself Things look to be in dire straights for Laura in one moment in the trailer when she's hunted down by the Reavers, a gang of cyborgs. Fortunately, it becomes clear that she can handle herself. As well as being generally tough, Laura also takes after Logan in that she has two adamantium claws on each hand - which she uses here to slice some guy's throat. Like Professor X says to Logan, "she's very much like you." Fans will know full well that Keen is playing X-23 AKA Laura Kinney, who - probable spoiler alert - is a clone of Logan's in the comics. As well as also having an adamantium skeleton, Laura has the usual package of Wolverine powers - accelerated healing and virtual immortality. Her codename comes from the fact that she was the 23rd such experiment. It's thought that, with Jackman retiring, it will be up to Laura to continue the mantle of Wolverine in future movies. Going by what we see here, she'll definitely be up to the task as she's just as vicious and capable as her sort-of dad. In fact, she looks to be the toughest pre-teen girl in a superhero movie since Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass. 4) Enter Dr. Rice It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but the second Logan trailer gives us our first glimpse of one of the movie's major villains. At the 1:35 mark, you can see Boyd Holbrook as Donald Pierce, the leader of the Reavers, meeting a man coming out of a helicopter. Beneath the sunglasses, we can make out that this is Richard E. Grant, who is playing Doctor Zander Rice. Not much is known about Rice, but it's thought that he's the head of the organization that's after Laura - and possibly the organization that created her in the first place. Judging by the way he doesn't even bother to look at Pierce, the Reavers are clearly little more than his lackeys. Presumably, Laura escaped from wherever she was being held and Rice sends the Reavers to get her back for whatever evil scheme he's concocting. It's generally thought by fans that Grant is going to be revealed at some point in the film as Nathaniel Essex AKA Mister Sinister. The classic comic book villain has always had a knack for cloning - though usually he's obsessed with the Summers family - so creating X-23 would certainly be in his wheelhouse. Plus, do we need to remind you that a suit from Essex Corporation was seen taking a vial of Wolverine's blood from Alkali Lake at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse? You don't have to have Professor X's telepathic powers to work out that he's going to play a part in Logan. 3) This Is What Life Looks Like Next up, there's a heartwarming moment of Logan, Charles and Laura sharing a meal at a dinner table and laughing. We hear Xavier talking to Wolverine, saying: "This is what living looks like. People who love each other. A home." This is presumably part of a speech about convincing Logan to take Laura in, as he seems reluctant to do so in earlier clips. Now, we've already seen this footage before in the first trailer, but this time there's an extra reveal hidden within the longer version of the scene: there's a fourth person at the table. Joining the old X-Men and Laura is Eriq La Salle, whose character is strangely still being kept under wraps. It looks like he might have a key role in the film, though. Previously, we had been led to believe that the main trio had formed a close familial bond, but La Salle's character might also be part of the pack. One fan theory goes that La Salle is playing a new version of Doctor Doom - the evidence being that Doom is the main villain of the Old Man Logan comic and that Fox do possess the rights to the character, and are probably wanting to do something new with him after the death of the Fantastic Four franchise. Going by how friendly La Salle's character is with the good guys in this shot, we'll go out on a limb and say he isn't Doom, but who knows? Stranger things have happened in the superhero movie world. 2) The Vibrating Room Another moment from the first trailer that's repeated but elongated in this final preview is the curious case of the vibrating room. At the 1:56 time stamp, we can see the back of Professor X's head as he faces out of the window in a sun-bleached room. The whole room is shaking like there's an earthquake and Charles looks to be writhing in pain. What this trailer adds is that Laura is crawling across the room to reach him. An earlier shot also seems to take place at the same point in the movie, as Logan is seen withdrawing his claws in what looks to be a hotel corridor that's also shaking. So, what could this mean? Based on the footage from the first trailer, some fans theorized that this is Charles' death scene - perhaps because it resembles the way he originally died in X-Men: The Last Stand. One ominous shot found in the first trailer saw Logan and Laura standing over a freshly-dug grave, so it does look like the elderly X-Men founder's days are numbered. Charles is also very ill by this stage in his life, so perhaps the shaking we're seeing is his telekinetic powers going on the fritz. Maybe he can't control them the way he used to, in a superhero-friendly allegory for Alzheimer's? 1) Professor X-Rated As well as the regular trailer, there's also a second red band trailer of Logan - just in case you forgot that it was going to follow in Deadpool's footsteps and be given an R-rating. For the first red band trailer, the difference was some extra violence. In this one, they've snuck in a couple of expletives. One of which comes from an unlikely source. Unlike the regular trailer, in this version, when Logan sees Laura take down the Reavers, he exclaims "holy f*ck!" Then, as an extra scene added at the end, we get a brief moment of Charles struggling with the difficulties of living on the road. "Two days on the road, one meal and hardly any sleep," he complains. "She's eleven and I'm f*cking ninety." Professor, we're shocked! Do you kiss Moira MacTaggart with that mouth? Humour aside, Charles' admission about his age does give us an estimated time frame for Logan. Assuming that Xavier matches up with Patrick Stewart's own age, then he'll reach ninety years old in about 15 years time. So, Logan is set in the not too distant future then, but still far enough away for the world to have gone severely downhill.
