New Synopsis for LOGAN Offers More Story Details
After seeing a couple incredibly badass trailers for Logan, we have a new synopsis for you to check out that offers up lots of new details about the story. The new synopsis comes from the Berlin Film Festival, which is where Logan is set to make its world premiere. It was also revealed that the run time for Logan is 135 minutes.
The synopsis confirms some things regarding X-23's history in the X-Men universe. If you don't know what that history is, you might not want to read the synopsis. I'm going to throw up a spoiler warning because there are a lot of spoiler sensitive souls out there. I personally don't think there are any spoilers here, but... just in case:
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 aging, 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 to put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.
So, that's it! As you can see, it confirms that they are sticking with X-23's original background in which she is a clone of Logan, whose DNA was used to create her. There are also a few other things in that synopsis that I'm sure you noticed that you might not have known before. This is definitely the most detailed synopsis yet.
Logan hits theaters on March 3rd!
