"Logan" may be Hugh Jackman's swan song to his onscreen Wolverine character, but that doesn't mean once the movie ends there will be no more mutants popping adamantium claws in the future.
The latest and final trailer for "Logan," which comes out March 3, confirms what many fans had already suspected. The young girl accompanying Wolverine on his final cinematic journey is indeed Laura Kinney, who in the pages of X-Men comics is the clone of Wolverine.
That becomes bloodily obvious when bad guy Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) sends in some goon muscle to take Laura away and Laura comes out by herself (presumably eliminating the threat), letting loose her trademark two claws from between the knuckles of her hands.
We then see lots of claw popping as Wolverine and his young copy fight the bad guys, side by side.
Both trailers for "Logan" have had the feel of anything but a superhero movie -- somewhat ironic considering Jackman's claws gave birth to the superhero movie era back in 2000 with the first "X-Men" movie.
Jackman and Patrick Stewart's Professor X are perhaps the two most spot-on casting choices in the history of the "X-Men" films. So it's fitting that a very old and seemingly much weaker Professor X is there to guide Wolverine in what looks to be unwanted parenting duties.
But who says this has to be the end of Wolverine on film?
Currently, Wolverine in the comic books is none other than Laura Kinney. And even though we see a young Laura in these trailers and it looks like there are no X-Men left, the X-Men movie timeline has become so twisted over the years it is possible she and her claws could appear in a future "X-Men" film. And if time-traveler Cable does indeed appear in the sequel to "Deadpool," anything in the X-Men universe is possible.
