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.
