Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has looked a lot better than he does in new ‘Logan’ pic

Social media has become the best place to get an early peek at Logan, director James Mangold’s upcoming follow-up to 2013’s The Wolverine, which is expected to be the final bow for Hugh Jackman as the clawed mutant. That trend continued this week with a series of photos from the set of the film, including Wednesday’s first look at Hugh Jackman as a much older version of the film’s title character.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Logan is set in the year 2024 and will feature a version of Wolverine who’s well past his prime and facing the ravages of a mutant healing factor that doesn’t work as well as it once did — and the new photo of Jackman in character certainly doesn’t do anything to contradict that information.

The photo was posted by Mangold on Twitter, where the filmmaker has been posting various images from the set of the film.

Directed by Mangold from a script by David James Kelly (Straw Man) and Michael Green (Green Lantern), Logan features Jackman once again as the mutant Wolverine, and also brings back Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier. Narcos actor Boyd Holbrook will also play a featured role in the film, possibly as recurring X-Men foe Donald Pierce, the leader of an anti-mutant group known as The Reavers.

Little is certain about the plot of Logan at this point, but the powerful mutant known as Mr. Sinister is also expected to play a major role in the film, along with his mysterious organization Essex Corp., which was featured in a post-credits scene in X-Men: Apocalypse. The focus of the first promotional image for the film — featuring Wolverine holding a child’s hand — has also led to speculation that the film could feature the debut of X-23, the young girl cloned from Wolverine in the Marvel comics.

Logan is scheduled to hit theaters March 3, 2017.

Kevin Feige hopes fans accept Anthony Mackie as Cap after Brave New World
Anthony Mackie as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World.

Anthony Mackie has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014. Marvel Studios has also been setting up Mackie's character, Sam Wilson aka The Falcon, to be the new Captain America since the end of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Nearly six years later, Mackie will return to the big screen in Captain America: Brave New World as the new face of that particular franchise. And Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is hopeful that fans will fully accept Mackie as the new Cap after that film.

Via GamesRadar+, Feige recently attended a press conference for Brave New World where he shared his thoughts about cementing the idea that Sam Wilson is the right man to carry on the legacy of the first Captain America, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).

The 7 best Star Wars droids, ranked
BB-8 rolls across the desert in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Droids may be second-class citizens in the Star Wars universe, but they're also some of the most important characters in the entire franchise. There's hardly a hero in the lore of Star Wars who isn't accompanied by a droid best friend. That trend continues even in recent video games like Star Wars Outlaws and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The irony is that many droids are treated like slaves, and there's yet to be a droid uprising where they fight for equal rights as sentient beings. L3-37 tried to change that in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and it really didn't work out for her.
Nevertheless, droids are vital to the galaxy's way of life, and it just wouldn't be Star Wars without them. For now, we're paying homage to the 7 best Star Wars droids and pulling from all of the ancillary media, movies, and TV shows to put this list together. Only our pick for No. 7 on this list originated in a comic book.
