Logan Trailer Breakdown: 24 Things You Need To See

Wolverine's final form.

Oh, how refreshing it is for a hugely anticipated movie to get its first trailer barely four months before it hits screens, minimising the risk of it getting sucked into the black hole of hype.

Logan will see Hugh Jackman give his apparently final performance as Wolverine in an apocalyptic future co-starring Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier.

James Mangold (who helmed the previous The Wolverine) returns to direct, and it's safe to say from what's been shown off in this debut trailer that Logan looks, well, incredible.

If this movie manages to deliver on just a fraction of the potential this moody, dark and intense trailer suggests, then Logan could very well end up as one of 2017's most thoughtful, ambitious, emotional and violent blockbusters. Get ready.

Here are 24 things you need to see from the very first Logan trailer...

24. Logan Has Nerve Damage

The very first image in the trailer is of Logan's bloodied hands trembling, likely a result of the fact that, due to his age impacting his healing factor, the usual nerve damage he'd suffer in a brutal fight doesn't repair so quickly. It's even possible that this could be a by-product of Logan using his claws throughout the film, with his hands unable to stand the trauma.

It's clear that the movie is going to feature Logan as more broken down and vulnerable than we've ever seen him, and what better way to demonstrate that than have his own body begin to turn on him?
