At almost exactly the same time this morning, bothHugh JackmanandJames Mangoldtook toTwitterto share their postcard frames.James Mangoldhad the very first frame, which shows the outline of Logan’s Chrysler 300 limousine, although we can’t see the full vehicle. You may recall that earlier set photos from the production showed that vehicle riddled with bullet holes, while other reports revealed that Logan had taken this job in El Paso, Texas.
Hugh Jackmanthen debuted the final frame from the trailer, which features his title character driving with the youngX-23sitting in the passenger’s seat. While this website popped up a few weeks ago, the studio has not yet announced when this final trailer will debut. It’s possible that it may arrive during the Super Bowl next month, or it could also be attached to prints of 20th Century Fox’sA Cure For Wellness, which hits theaters on February 17. Then again, that’s just a few weeks beforeLoganhits theaters on March 3, so perhaps it could debut sooner rather than later.
Hugh Jackmanhas confirmed several times that this movie will mark his last time playingWolverine, but earlier this month, the actor admitted that it would be a “perfect fit” if he signed on to return as Wolverine in aWolverine vs. Deadpoolmovie. That movie would see Logan going toe-to-toe withRyan Reynoldsas the Merc With the Mouth, following 20th Century Fox’s wildly successfulDeadpoolmovie, which became the highest-grossing R-rated movie in cinematic history. It’s also possible that the actor has no intention of un-retiring the Wolverine character afterLogan, but only time will tell.

GrantasDr. Xander RiceandPatrick Stewartas an ailing Professor X, along withEriq La Sallein an unspecified role.James MangolddirectsLoganfrom a script byDavid James KellyandMichael Green.Logancould very well end up being one of this year’s first blockbusters, hitting theaters on March 3, going up against Lionsgate’sThe Shack, The Weinstein Company’sLeapand Open Road Films’Before I Fall.Loganshould have no trouble coming out on top at the box office in its opening weekend, but it remains to be seen how big its opening weekend will be.
