Just watched 40 mins of Logan at Fox press preview and X-23 is my new Eleven

Zach Snyder wishes he could make a movie as dark and gritty as #Logan

Just saw 40 minutes of LOGAN. VERY violent. Very much rated R. Logan and Xavier are old and sad. It's depressing. I liked it.

We only watched the 1st act of @WolverineMovie, but holy cow it's some of the best stuff we've ever seen from Wolverine. Absolutely terrific pic.twitter.com/1ZtySRKqnz

And yes, @WolverineMovie embraces its R rating tenfold. The action is bloody, brutal & ridiculously badass. Be ready, #Wolverine fans! pic.twitter.com/ynArolZhMy

I loved every second of what we saw. It's different, it's brutal, and the girl, man. It's all about that little girl. https://t.co/qBwIDnRNMR

Fox footage check-in: I am hyped on APES, obsessed with Seimetz and Waterston in ALIEN, cautious on LOGAN.

Feels more like standalone XMen movie. More Western and lone samourai film with faint traces of x-superhero mold. Dingy motel Wolverine pic

Just saw first act of #Logan. Wait til you guys meet Laura (X-23) — she steals every scene she is in.

#Logan is violent and sad. Definitely earns that R rating. Doesn't feel like a comic book movie — really does feel like a modern Western.

Me watching the first act of #Logan. #foxshowcase pic.twitter.com/TTjqH2eMro

Based on the first act, #Logan is a western with a hard-R and true grit. I want more. NOW. #foxshowcase pic.twitter.com/Gc0Kuz1uvf

X-23 absolutely steals the show. Best X-Men character since Deadpool. #Logan

“Logan”, the third Wolverine movie, has a March 3, 2017 release directed by James Mangold starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Stephen Merchant, Doris Morgado and Eriq La Salle. The new film will mark the ninth time that Hugh Jackman has played the character on the big screen. Mangold is directing from a script by David James Kelly.
The film is set a few years in the future. Mutant births are in severe decline, and a shadowy operation known as Transigen has been turning mutant kids into killing machines. Logan himself isn’t doing so hot, and neither is Professor X (Patrick Stewart). But he takes a little girl named Laura under his wing. Also known as X-23, she’s a mutant with similar abilities as Logan. Stephen Merchant plays Caliban, who helps Logan care for Professor X, and Boyd Holbrook is the villain Donald Pierce. Richard E. Grant plays mad scientist type Zander Rice.
