Well, will you look at this; the X-Men franchise has finally found not only one, but two ways to draw me in. It’s not that I haven’t tried. What with the excellent movie casts, I’ve always been a little disappointed that I found myself indifferently attempting to get through Days of Future Past, or even just the trailers for Apocalypse. It all felt too unreal, too slick … but this — THIS, this Logan teaser has a magical something about it. Dafne Keen and the emotions transferring between her Laura/X-23 and Hugh Jackman’s Logan are palpable. “This is what life looks like …” And this is one name-taking, ass-kicking performance; check it:
Everything here — even the action — comes off genuine. I guess it took a young hero stealing away Logan’s heart (and his franchise?) to get me all in.

Logan is in theaters March 3rd.
