Logan’s Healing Ability Has Diminished
The film is inspired by the comic book series “Old Man Logan,” set in a bleak future where the world has experienced a catastrophic event, resulting in Logan’s healing ability being significantly reduced. In the trailer, we see Logan’s hand covered in blood, suggesting that Wolverine is no longer as powerful as he once was.
The diminished healing ability signifies that every time he uses his powers, Logan suffers more, leading to a significant loss of blood. The trailer further emphasizes that Wolverine is not as strong as he used to be.
The Mutants Are Almost Extinct
This aspect resonates strongly with viewers when watching the trailer, highlighting the near extinction of mutants in the dystopian world. In the comic version, the mutants have been nearly eradicated, and this is evident in Logan’s trailer, showcasing a bleak future where mutants are virtually extinct.
Professor X’s Condition is Dire
Fans have heard rumors that actor Patrick Stewart will reprise his role in this film, but few expect to see Professor X looking so frail and elderly. The fact that Professor X is still alive shows that Logan’s story takes place several decades after the events of the previous films, as Charles lacks the ability to heal himself, meaning he cannot live as long as Logan.
X-23: The Young Mutant
The young mutant appears in the film, hunted by a group of pursuers with unique abilities similar to Logan’s. She is known for her healing powers and possesses adamantium claws that can slice through anything. This girl is the target of the antagonists in the film, and in line with the comic, X-23 is set to become Logan’s successor.
Could This Be X-23’s Claws?
In the trailer, we see a scene where Logan has to fight against a group of foes wielding claws. The distinctive aspect is that the claws are bloodied, likely indicating that the previous wielder was Logan himself. This could suggest that these claws belong to X-23, a character with healing abilities similar to Logan’s. However, the size of the claws indicates they could belong to a much larger entity, potentially hinting at Daken, Wolverine’s son who carries a mixed bloodline.
Caliban’s Role
Caliban, a member of a group of mutants known as Morlocks, who appeared in “X-Men: Apocalypse,” will also make an appearance in this film. This mutant has the ability to track other mutants, and in a world where mutants are nearly extinct, Caliban’s strength will be crucial for those seeking refuge.
Pierce: The Antagonist
The character Pierce, portrayed by Boyd Holbrook, is one of the most formidable antagonists in the film. In the comics, he is a member of the Reavers, a group known for hunting mutants. Pierce’s presence poses a significant threat as he leads a team dedicated to exterminating mutants.
