Interview: Director James Mangold talks ‘Logan’

Set for a release this Spring (March to be precise), Logan is the latest and last(?) film in the standalone Wolverine movies. Set in the near future, Logan sees an aging Wolverine and Professor X working together to protect a young female clone of Wolverine – aka X-23 from the Marvel comic of the same name – from an evil organization led by Nathanial Essex.

Logan once again stars Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine (this time more aged and haggard a la the Old Man Logan comicsverse), Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Dafne Keen as X-23, Richard E. Grant as Dr. Zander Rice, Stephen Merchant, Boyd Holbrook, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Doris Morgado and Eriq La Salle.

Also returning to the franchise is The Wolverine director James Mangold, who in this interview – which took place at the FOX Showcase – discusses the latest film and how it differs from the previous movies…
