Logan: The most profitable Wolverine film of the franchise?

sivertime — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 16:08:22 +0000

Was Logan the Wolverine movie that brought in the most money from the franchise? The first figures answer this question.
By agreeing to pass Logan under the ban at least 17 years old, the famous “Rated R” , Fox took a big risk. A risk all the same minimized by Deadpool which with its small budget became the most profitable film under this label. Logan (whose concept-arts revealed what the Reavers prosthetics looked like) will he join his mutant companion (with whom he is used to frying in comics) becoming the Wolverine who has reported the most The franchise ? It would seem that yes … X-Men Origins: Wolverine had for example reported $ 373,062,864 for a budget of $ 150,000,000 . Rather honorable.
Wolverine: The Immortal Combat had done much better with a budget of $ 120,000,000 for $ 414,828,246 in revenue. Logan, of which Hugh Jackman would have liked a different end , is truly the most profitable franchise with a budget of $ 97,000,000 and – for now – $ 500,000,000 won worldwide. A figure above its predecessors whereas the film has cost much less (and is still exploited in hundreds of rooms!). It is the director James Mangold who must be glad to have been able to impose a film with a limited budget and violence that could have limited the entries. What do you think of these figures?

X-Force: Deadpool and Cable confirmed at the casting!

sivertime — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 17:30:04 +0000

An X-Force film is under preparation and Simon Kinberg, the producer in charge of the mutants of the Fox, has just confirmed the presence of Deadpool and Cable!
With the release of Logan in the rooms, we had the chance to discover a teaser of Deadpool 2 and force is to realize that it is still as crazy. The super-hero with the hung tongue that was presented to us last year under the guise of Ryan Reynolds has been a great success and everyone is looking forward to the continuation of his adventures. And we are pleased to announce today that it will continue well after Deadpool 2 ! The actor had announced a year ago that he would make an X-Force film, the mutant team responsible for the secretly morally questionable missions to which the protégés of Charles Xavier do not want to rub themselves. And now it has become a reality. He is currently co-writing the film with Joe Carnahan, and Simon Kinberg, the screenwriter of everything related to the Fox mutants, announced the news while confirming the presence of Deadpool and Cable in the movie. Speaking of the future projects of the Fox, Simon Kinberg indeed mentioned the film X-Force, “with Deadpool alongside Cable and other main characters”.
Originally , in the comics, the team counts among its members Domino, which was announced to the casting of Deadpool 2 , Big Bang, Cannonball, Feral, Warpath and Shatterstar. Later, Wolverine and X-23 also joined them. But with the arrival of Deadpool, we imagine that the Fox has planned some modifications. X-23, introduced in Logan , could therefore be, like Negasonic Warhead and Colossus, introduced in Deadpool . As for the tone of the film, do not worry, it will be of the same order as Deadpool and Logan . “The successes of Deadpool and Logan have reinforced our desire to make films darker, more daring, more adult and more provocative. The X-Force will be like the Black Ops of the X-Men, in much darker and with a tone R ” , thus teased Simon Kinberg. That promises! Unfortunately, the release of the film is not for immediate. Deadpool 2 must be finished first. In the meantime, find out who could play Cable in the next Deadpool adventures! And what do you think of this new project?

Logan: X-23, the future Wolverine?

sivertime — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 18:16:01 +0000

For Wolverine version Hugh Jackman, superhero career, it’s over. But X-23, aka Laura, that we discover today in Logan, could she take over?
Until now, there was only one Wolverine, only one mutant with adamantium claws and able to regenerate after each wound. But that was before. Before the release on our screens today of Logan , the last solo adventure of the character (and the most successful!) In the guise of Hugh Jackman . Because in the film, there is of course our hero, always as grumpy and (almost) always as effective and deadly. But at his side is a girl who shares with him many commonalities : X-23, aka Laura (incredible Dafne Keen), a mute character who imposes from the first scene . Wild, violent, capable of massacring a whole battalion of Reavers without the least hesitation, X-23 is nevertheless a kind of small miracle, In this world where most mutants have disappeared. But where does it come from? Why and how was it created? It is partly this mystery that Logan tries to solve in the film, forming a duo of shock – but especially particularly moving – with the girl. What makes us say, in melty, that little X-23 could well take the place of our Wolverine now that this one decided to put an end to his life of superhero …
If you are a fan of Marvel and X-Men in particular, the name X-23 should not be foreign to you. In comics, the mutant is actually a Wolverine clone, created from the latter’s DNA in an attempt to reiterate the success of the ” Weapon X ” program. The young girl managed to escape Martin Sutter and Zander Rice, his ” creators ” thanks to the help of Sarah Kinney, a scientist whom the methods of the two men revolt and terrify. Once free, X-23 leaves then in search of Wolverine, which she considers responsible for all its misfortunes. However, between the mutant and the girl, a bond of confidence and even love finally weaves. So much so that when Logan definitely makes the soul in 2014 in ”
To find out, we must remember – attention SPOILERS – the origins of X-23 as they are told in the film. Like the Laura of the comics, the girl is actually the result of experiments carried out by the Transigen project, which uses (obviously) the DNA of Wolverine, obtained by the mysterious Essex Corporation of years ago. However, this Laura-this is not really a Logan clone, its link with the mutant being a little narrower than that. But like him, she was ” created “, perfected in the laboratory, which, as was the case for Wolverine, induced heavy suffering, suffering that led her to be violent and brutal. Because as we can hear Charles Xavier tell our old X-Man: ” She’s like you . ” The relationship between Logan and X-23 is similar to the relationship between Logan and X-23. A father to his daughter … but also a mentor to his pupil.
So, could X-23 ever take Wolverine’s place on the screen? To this question, we want to answer ” yes “. Not only because the older generation of the X-Men bowed out, Patrick Stewart himself having decided that Logan would mark his last appearance in a franchise film . It is therefore necessary to add new blood, a salutary initiative that X-Men: Apocalypse has already taken with its young mutants. And then, of course, there is the fact that Laura has become, in the comics, THE new Wolverine, which would almost suffice to make us chicken by the ear. The mutant and it are far too similar for this resemblance not to be exploited. Especially since this would keep a character as rude and violent as Wolverine could be … without the need to find a new actor to play the latter! Wild as she is, but also determined and resourceful, X-23 represents in any case the worthy heiress of Logan and could thus well take its place in the future. It remains to be seen if the studios will know how to use this character, so beautifully introduced in the film, and if they will then do it justice. One thing is sure in any case, to see her stand up to Logan, this girl has the potential to go very far! Would you like X-23 to become the new Wolverine?

Logan: What connections to other X-Men movies?

sivertime — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:50:39 +0000

While Logan may be in his own time line, he does refer to other X-Men films. So what are his most important connections with them?
True, the last solo adventures of Wolverine are probably taking place in another parallel universe and a time line of those explored in the other X-Men movies . So much so that the mutants have almost all disappeared in Logan , under very mysterious circumstances. This does not mean that they did not exist … nor that the film by James Mangold does not establish bridges and connections with the other franchise feature films . You just need to look carefully to find them. Some obviously are as visible as the nose in the middle of the figure. Others, on the other hand, Are a little more subtle and then we have to pay attention to the smallest details distilled and evoked in the recent X-Men movies. And especially, the last one, X-Men: Apocalypse , which has the means to answer a few questions that arise. As a result, melty’s editorial team has looked at the subject to unveil the connections that link Logan to the rest of the franchise. And we prefer to warn you, it implies necessarily to reveal some (small) spoilers!
Logan is more than obviously linked to the other X-Men movies thanks to two characters: Charles Xavier and Caliban . No need to present the first, embodied by Patrick Stewart, of which Logan marks the last participation in the license X-Men . The second, on the other hand, is a little more mysterious. Chief of the Morlocks, a tribe living in the Manhattan sewers, Caliban can track the other mutants. The first time he made his live appearance in cinema, it was in X-Men: Apocalypse , where he appeared as Tomas Lemarquis and posed as a mercenary, selling his information to the highest bidder. But, in his defense, he still refused to help Apocalypse despite his arguments … convincing. In Logan , on the other hand, Caliban, this time interpreted by Stephen Merchant, is one of the last mutants in existence – which leads us to wonder how he survived when all the others have disappeared. But it’s always his capabilities that interest Transigen, who wants to get his hands on Laura.
And finally, there is Charles Xavier, an angry and almost out of control Charles Xavier in Logan , who no longer has a school to run and no children to pass on his knowledge to. No wonder it seems to be at the end of the roll! The relationship between Professor X and Wolverine seems reversed, this time, the last taking obvious care of the first when it was always the opposite. Charles also recalls in one of the trailers of the film the way he welcomed Logan with open arms when this one still lived only by illegal fighting. Enough to bring back the best memories of the first X-Men movie! In any case, we can expect these two to give us information about what happened to the X-Men and the other mutants. The X-Men, who have since become the heroes of their own comic books and who make you dream, you do not doubt, kids of all ages. How meta !
But besides Charles and Caliban, Logan makes more subtle connections with the rest of the franchise, notably through Laura, the little X-23 that looks so much like Wolverine. Because, as we suspected, the girl has a link with the post-generic scene of X-Men: Apocalypse . Remember, a man belonging to the mysterious organization Essex Corp. seized a blood sample labeled ” Weapon X ” and placed it in a briefcase. However, Transigen, the scientific project that led to the creation of Laura and who is also called ” Alkali Transigen ” (yes as in ” Alkali Lake “, the military complex where Strycker’s experiments took place) Is actually headed by Essex Corp. And the famous ” Weapon X ” being none other than Logan, all this history of sample and stolen DNA must naturally resurface! What let us think that Wolverine and X-23 are intimately linked, as in the comics. So if Logan’s timeline, as Hugh Jackman taught , does not take too much account of the events that took place in the X-Men movies , he can not help but draw some parallels with them. As for the Easter Eggs, these small references that only the fans are able to spot, they are also numerous. So keep your eyes open if you’re going to see the movie! What do you think ?
