We've had a veritable feast of great trailers over the past week or two, from from John Wick to Rogue One, Assassin's Creed and A Cure For Wellness. But none of the above, no matter how impressive, have been quite so artfully constructed as this glorious first look at James Mangold's Logan.
Effectively set to Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, we see (old man) Logan looking suitably grizzled and mean, a nonagenarian Professor X and a young girl (Dafne Keen) who is given into Logan's care, one who is 'just like him'. It's one hell of a warm up for the film, which looks like it will go a very long way towards making up for the disappointment of X-Men Apocalypse.
The eagle-eyed among you will notice one shot that's different between the above UK trailer and the US cut (below). Where we get Logan skewering a man's skull with his claws (nothing says 'this will not be a PG-13 movie' quite like a brain kebab), the US cut is slightly less gory, instead swapping in a very telling shot of Logan crossing claws with an offscreen attacker. Those familiar with the comics will certainly be drawing some conclusions (cough X-23 cough) but nothing has been officially confirmed at this point.
Logan arrives in cinemas on 3 March, 2017. Read our trailer breakdown with director James Mangold here.
