12 Things You Might Have Missed In The Logan Trailer

Despite being one of the most beloved and iconic cinematic superheroes around, Wolverines's two solo movies do not rank among many people's top comic book movies. Both X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine - in particular the former - squandered interesting premises as things devolved into mindless action. With the upcoming third Wolverine movie being Hugh Jackman's last appearance in the role after 17 years, there is a lot of pressure on it to step up to the plate and act as a terrific send-off to the character.

The first thing that becomes apparent in the trailer – apart from its brilliant use of Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” – is that time has caught up with Logan since we last saw him. Though he was slightly older, with his hair flecked with grey, in the dystopian future of Days of Future Past, Logan seems to be set even further along the timeline, as Wolvie is starting to feel and show the effects of his extended lifespan. First up we see Logan’s bloodied, shaking hands, quickly followed by the reveal that he has also visibly aged – with greying hair and grizzled beard

If you are a Marvel fan, this scenario will jump out at you as a familiar one. That’s because Logan will be a loose adaptation of the recent “Old Man Logan” comic book storyline, initially written by Mark Millar. Depicting an alternate version of the Marvle universe, it featured roles for a pool of wider Marvel characters like Hawkeye and Black Bolt. Though we wouldn’t expect any of them to show up here (due to those pesky rights issues between Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox).
