Hugh Jackman is almost as synonymous as Wolverine where no one in the world can replace the outstanding approach of the Australian actor to one of the most beloved comic character in the Marvel universe. After 17 long years of playing the role of the nearly indestructible mutant, Jackman is finally giving up the adamantium claws. "Logan", the tenth installment of the "X-Men" series will mark the final moments of Jackman as the iconic superhero.
The story will follow Logan who finally have caught up with time as his extreme healing ability and near immortality is fading. He live with an ailing Professor X who is now suffering with Alzheimer's disease leaving with him with no control to his immense telepathic abilities. They are live near the Mexican border where Logan works as a limo driver.
According to Star-Telegram, the peaceful life of the two mutants was turned upside-down when a woman named Gabriela showed up. With her is a girl named Laura which is actually Logan's clone bearing the same abilities such as the retractable claws. The girls are planning to go to North Dakota where a group of mutants still exists and they are asking the old warrior to escort them to the place.
The film was based from two of most popular comic book storylines that feature the clawed mutant. The first is the 'Old Man Logan' which featured an old Logan with failing powers in an alternate universe. The other one was the debut of X-23 in the NYX comics of the Marvel Comics as reported by The Washington Posts.
The film was helmed by James Mangold who also directed "The Wolverine" where Logan fight off an wealthy Japanese ex-soldier who is after his healing powers. The casts will consists of Jackman and Patrick Stewart to reprise their roles as Logan/Wolverine and Charles Xavier while the young girl Dafne Keen will star as X-23/Laura. Logan is slated to release on Friday, March 5 under 20th Century Fox.
