Hugh Jackman has taken to social media to reflect on young mutant created from Logan's DNA who seeks his and Xavier's help in escaping the sinister government program that developed her and fleeing to safety in Canada.
In addition to grossing $619 million at the box office, Logan was a critical darling and true conclusion to Fox's X-Men movies and boasts Jackman's finest performance to date, either as Wolverine or not. In a classy gesture, Jackman has taken advantage of the movie's three year anniversary to reflect on his X-Men legacy and once again thank his fans for ing him.
Posting on Twitter, Jackman thanked his fans for "the many (and I really mean MANY) years of sweat, steamed chicken and the role of a lifetime" and included a promo image of himself in Logan to commemorate the occasion. He posted additional photos and the same message to his Instagram , as you can see below.
Looking back, it's fair to say Logan has had a significant impact on the superhero and comic book movie landscape. Two years before Combined with Deadpool's success from the year before, it also demonstrated there was a market for superhero movies that broke firmly away from the formula popularized by the MCU at the time. In fact, had Disney not purchased the studio, Fox was planning to follow Logan with additional X-Men spinoffs that spanned a variety of genres and tones, starting with Josh Boone's horror-style The New Mutants. Obviously, that won't be the case, but fans will get a taste of what might've been when Boone's film finally hits theaters next month.
Of course, Jackman left an even bigger mark on the role of Wolverine, memorably bringing the character to life one of the Disney+ series). Still, it's a testament to Jackman's great work that people are still talking about his run as the character three years after Logan brought it to a poignant conclusion.
