"Logan" is a 2017 superhero film directed by James Mangold and serves as the tenth installment in the "X-Men" film series. It is a standalone sequel to the Wolverine-centric films "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (2009) and "The Wolverine" (2013).
Set in the near future, "Logan" follows an aging and weary Logan, also known as Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman), who cares for an ailing Professor Charles Xavier (played by Patrick Stewart) in a remote location along the Mexican border. Mutants are nearly extinct, and Logan's healing factor is fading, leaving him vulnerable and struggling with his own mortality.
When a young mutant girl named Laura (played by Dafne Keen), who possesses powers similar to Wolverine's, comes into their lives, Logan and Xavier find themselves drawn into a dangerous journey to protect her from ruthless forces seeking to capture her.
"Logan" received widespread critical acclaim for its gritty and mature approach, grounded performances, and emotional depth. It was praised for Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine and Dafne Keen's breakout performance as Laura. The film was also lauded for its exploration of themes such as redemption, mortality, and the legacy of the X-Men. "Logan" was both a critical and commercial success, grossing over $619 million worldwide. Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine in "Logan" marked his final appearance as the character after portraying him for 17 years.
