James Gold returns to direct Logan, a film loosely based on the cult comic miniseries Old Man Logan. We do mean loose, since the majority of the characters appearing have their film rights back at Marvel Studios, including Hawkeye and Red Skull. But judging by the plot details of the film, the only things those two stories have in common is the basic premise of an ageing Wolverine going on a road trip in a dystopian future.

Seen in the poster is a young child, presumably a girl, holding Hugh Jackman’s hand. If the rumors are to be believed, that girl is X-23, or someone who is similar enough to be X-23 in all but name. For those of you who are not huge comic book geeks, X-23 is a clone of Wolverine, created by the same nasty people that experimented on Wolverine to give him his adamantium skeleton. Both of her hands can pop out two metal claws, each. Patrick Stewart will also reprise his role as Professor X, playing a major part in the story.

The movie will receive an “R” rating in US markets, which is the American equivalent of IFCO’s 16 certificate. The film will have its US release on 3 March, 2017, with a UK release sure to follow.
