<\/p>\nAcademy Award-nominated, Golden Globe- and Tony Award-winning performer Hugh Jackman first brought his electrifying energy to the mutant known as Wolverine way back in 2000 in the film that launched the modern-day comic-book blockbuster, director Bryan Singer\u2019s original X-Men.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since then, the acclaimed Australian actor has slipped into the skin of the world\u2019s most famous mutant a record 10 times on the big screen. But this time, with \u201cLogan\u201d, Jackman had the chance to craft something truly special laying to rest his longtime screen alter ego.<\/p>\n
Highly-regarded filmmaker James Mangold helms the defining chapter in the cinematic saga of one of the greatest comic book heroes ever created in \u201cLogan\u201d where Jackman stars alongside Patrick Stewart (\u201cX-Men: Days of Future Past\u201d), Stephen Merchant, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant and newcomer Dafne Keen. \u00a0\u00a0\u201cLogan\u201d sees Hugh Jackman reprise his iconic role as The Wolverine for one, final time in a raw, powerfully dramatic standalone story of sacrifice and redemption.<\/p>\n
\u201cLogan\u201d is set at the backdrop of 2029 where mutants are gone\u2014or very nearly so. An isolated, despondent Logan is drinking his days away in a hideout on a remote stretch of the Mexican border, picking up petty cash as a driver for hire. His companions in exile are the outcast Caliban and an ailing Professor X, whose singular mind is plagued by worsening seizures. But Logan\u2019s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy abruptly end when a mysterious woman appears with an urgent request\u2014that Logan shepherd an extraordinary young girl to safety. Soon, the claws come out as Logan must face off against dark forces and a villain from his own past on a live-or-die mission, one that will set the time-worn warrior on a path toward fulfilling his destiny.<\/p>\n
From the outset, Jackson\u2019s always had a gift for locating Logan\u2019s humanity beneath his gruff, deeply scarred exterior. But with this nuanced, deeply moving performance, the actor brings the character full circle\u2014the cigar-chomping, hard-charging loner is now a steadfastly loyal comrade-in-arms willing to sacrifice everything for what he believes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted something that would feel very different, very fresh and ultimately something very human,\u201d Jackson says, \u201cbecause it seems to me that the strength of X-Men and the strength of Wolverine is more his humanity than his superpower. In exploring this character for the last time, I wanted to get to the heart of who that human was, more than what his claws can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a moment that I came to terms with the fact that this was my last one,\u201d Jackman says. \u201cI love this character, and he\u2019s been amazing to me. I\u2019d be lying if I said that I would have been okay if I didn\u2019t feel everything was left on the table. And I mean everything. Every day, every scene was a kind of battle to get the best out of that character, to get the best out of me.\u201d Concludes Jackman: \u201cThere was an element of life and death about it\u2014I know that sounds dramatic, but that\u2019s how it felt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claws out on the must-see motion picture event of the year on March 1 when \u201cLogan\u201d finally bows in Philippine cinemas nationwide, from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
