Logan Logan - news & discussion - Part 3

[Zarex]

I'm pretty sure the tracker is Caliban.

 

[Superhero 101]

The hype is building up for me with the new cover and empire images. Side note does anyone else think x23 claws look a little small?

 

[Breogan]

Making a big impression in the film is the girl known only as Laura (Dafne Keen), aka X-23, seen in our exclusive pics with her claws out. In one intense scene, as Jackman recalled to us, Logan loses his temper at Laura. “I just yelled, ‘SHUT THE **** UP!’” Jackman says. “At the end of 40 minutes of this I went up to Maria, Dafne’s mum, and I said, ‘Maria, I’ve got an 11-year-old and I’m just really sorry.’ Maria said, ‘Aw, don’t worry, she just called you a ****. In Spanish.’”

A funny story between Hugh and Dafne from filming from the Empire article that was released today.

LOL was the "****!" a line the character Logan had to keep saying, or something Jackman said cause he lost patiance?
LOL at the apology, and the fiery reply!t:
I realy hope its in the film

 

[Smilodon]

I'm pretty sure the tracker is Caliban.

Could be, the Joblo review of the footage said the four of them go on a road trip, but it's been edited for being too spoiler-y so I can't double check if I'm remembering right. Ah well, we'll see eventually I guess.

I like the length of them. If they were the dame length as Logans, it would look weird.

 

[henzINNIT]

They have to be small enough to fit in her forearms. Look about right in that regard.

 

[Ivan Drago]

So when Logan premiers during the berlin film festival, is that when the embargo for reviews will drop?

 

[Stan Lee]

Why are you even trying to defend this stuff?

It's becoming pretty obvious from recent official comments that these are more like standalone director-driven movies than an interconnected series.

Mangold admitted these films are unco-ordinated, hence two Calibans, and then Jackman says Logan is not really in the same universe as the other films. We can see the X-Men now mythologised into some sort of comic book, although Mangold was then scrambling to point out on Twitter that Logan is just beyond the DoFP ending (in a hasty damage limitation exercise). As I predicted, the wonky timeline/continuity will be a thing for people to moan about beyond the intensity of fan forums like this.

There is no Feige figure holding it all together. Directors just do what they want.

On the positive side, this re-doing of already existing elements got us a perfect Deadpool and a better Emma Frost (though she was then killed off), and the new Caliban is more comic-accurate than the one in XM:A .

But let's not pretend there is any overall plan here, lol...

All I am saying is that you shouldn't make a big deal out of two guys having the same last name.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I hope the embargo drops early.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Hnnnnnnnnnnnngggg

Nice. Should get to Canada in 10 months LOL

Wasn't it all those psychics he had in the room who were gathering the information?

We saw no evidence he had any mutant power, though he did have weird eyes... The only thing I remember seeing was psychics who seemed to be 'scanning' for something...

One would assume he was a mutant because Apocalypse called him "my child" (or something to that effect). But yea I agree it wasn't made clear what his power was.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Has it been mentioned if we're getting a SuperBowl commercial this year?

 

[marvelrobbins]

No.

So I've come across spoilers pertaining the third act. They seem pretty accurate with everything I've heard, but you never know.

Spoiler

The Transigen program has been creating clones of Logan to be used as living weapons, but they rapidly deteriorate after a couple of days. Dr. Zander Rice circumvents that problem by having Laura be gestated by one of the nurses at the complex. The plan works, but the nurse grows affectionate to Laura and escapes with her, hoping that Logan can escort them to a safe location. Donald Pierce and the Reavers are sent after her and kill her mother before Laura comes under Logan's and Xavier's protection.

Xavier was responsible for the near-extermination of the mutants, having lost control of his powers while telepathically connected to them through Cerebro. Logan was able to survive due to his healing factor. Rice simultaneously accidentally created a virus through his genetic experiments which caused mutant birth rates to significantly plummet to the point where Logan believes Caliban, Xavier and himself are the only ones left.

Rice ultimately sends X-24, an adult male clone of Logan, to assist Pierce. X-24 has a buzzcut, no beard and is played by a digitally de-aged Hugh Jackman, similarly to Michael Douglas in Ant-Man or Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man.

Xavier is killed in the third act, leading to a final battle between Logan and Laura against their pursuers. Logan sustains heavy damage fighting X-24. Over the course of the movie, Logan rediscovers his humanity and grows closer to Laura, who becomes his surrogate daughter. The movie ends with Logan alive, but severely injured and with the clear implication that due to his healing factor fading, he doesn't have much time to life, but will spend what's left of his days protecting Laura. The final scene features them driving off into the sunset.

While there are no direct references to previous movies, some of the dead X-Men are briefly mentioned in passing by Xavier and Logan, and Rice often reports to an unseen, unheard superior over the phone, who could be Mister Sinister.

Where did you get this?

 

[protocida]

From someone who saw a test screening. Allegedly.

 

[Snikt]

Does this sound accurate to you? Didn't you have a friend who has seen it too.

Spoiler

well it says there defently won't be any cameos.it creates problems for future X-men films since logan says they will all be killed.If they want to include X-23 In X-force.they have also ideal way to have wolverine and deadpool interaction that jackman and reynolds seem to want.Rice's superior is very likely sinister.seeing jackman as de-aged clone should be something.

 

[Ivan Drago]

Does this sound accurate to you? Didn't you have a friend who has seen it too.

I just sent a PM asking him. Hope he responds.

He was pretty tight lipped about not giving away spoilers, but he did say the third act is strong. I hope so because a [BLACKOUT]de-aged Hugh Jackman [/BLACKOUT]sounds really dumb. But we'll see I guess.

 

[Roose Bolton]

If it's accurate then I won't have any problems. It doesn't sound especially out of line with the rest of the film, aesthetically or tonally.

I can totally see it being true

Spoiler

it means there is tie in to post credit scene in apocalypse and why singer and kinberg said sinister would be in apocalypse makes sense now.problem is what logan says about what happened to X-men.of course kinberg with X-force could say cable arriving in present prevented future seen In logan from happening.which would mean mangold film has been screwed over by kinberg again lol

 

[Pennywise]

If that is accurate, it doesn't sound too bad.

The main thing I'm not 100% buying is the certain special effects being used, as I imagine it would cost quite a bit more than what a 120 million film could produce.

I am more certain that [blackout] Sinister is the villain for X-Force/Cable's nemesis. [/blackout]

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

There's barely any actors, sets, costumes etc in this compared to most 100m dollar films.

A casino the dessert a forest not much really going on compared to other film's shooting all over the world with huge cast etc

I'm just going off what that other big studio said when talking about the process for their most recent blockbuster. It's a fairly expensive and complex process.

But then again, I suppose it's easier done when [blackout] the actor involved isn't so old and the process is only winding back the clock a few years. [/blackout]

 

[Ivan Drago]

Mr. Sinister has nothing to do with this flick, that I know for sure. So I'm not sure how accurate those spoilers are.
