"Something's happening to you, Logan. You're not healing."
Two new TV spots for Logan have been unleashed, and they both feature some fresh new footage from the highly anticipated film. We get our best look yet at that character Caliban, who is played in the film by Stephen Merchant. His mutant ability allows him to track other mutants. There's also more footage and fun dialogue from Logan, Professor X, and X-23. Specifically, the part where Xavier tells Logan that X-23 can be better than Wolverine.
In 2024 the mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because her DNA contains the secret that connects her to Logan. A relentless pursuit begins … In this third cinematic outing featuring the Marvel comic book character Wolverine we see the superheroes beset by everyday problems. They are ageing, ailing and struggling to survive financially. A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.
