“Logan” is set to hit theaters next year, and the film’s release will be bittersweet for fans. On one hand, fans get to see Hugh Jackman reprise his role as Wolverine, but unfortunately, he will be reprising the role for the last time.

The third Wolverine film takes place in the year 2024, where the mutant population has declined in a big way. Logan is aging, and his healing powers are deteriorating. The once great mind of Professor X is also deteriorating, which leads Logan to take care of him, but Professor X won’t be the only one that he’s taking care of in the movie.
“Logan” will also introduce X-23, a young girl with powers similar to Wolverine. Fox has released a new banner promoting the film, and it shows Logan carrying X-23 as he’s running. Check it out below.

“Logan” hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
“In 2024, mutant births are severely in decline, and people aren’t sure why. A government-type operation is turning mutant children into killing machines. From this, Logan emerges as a mentor to a mutant girl, who has two claws instead of his three.”
