20th Century Fox has released the finalLogantrailer online, and it’s a wild one. While the story ofHugh Jackman’s (likely) last outing as the adamantium-clawed mutant Wolverine has been a driving force behind the anticipation forJames Mangold’s film, this trailer suggests a film that goes above and beyond expectations for a solid solo outing for the antihero.
