20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Logan

It was clear from the onset that James Mangold’s approach to bringing Wolvie’s twilight years to life would do away with blockbuster tropes and aim for a more down-to-earth story that just happens to feature mutants, superpowers and clones.

During the first act’s limo chase, Chas Jarrett (the movie’s VFX supervisor) mentioned that Mangold did not want the limo to break through the fence surrounding Logan and Xavier’s sanctuary so as to avoid unfavourable comparisons to over-the-top fare such as the A-Team.

In addition to vehicles obeying the laws of motion (for the most part), Xavier’s psychic seizures were toned down from the originally planned energy wave state to something more subtle but still devastating. These decisions (alongside the limited mutant presence) helped give the tenth X-Men cinematic entry its naturalistic feeling and set it apart from other X-Men films, as well as cameo-heavy superhero properties.
