"Logan" scheduled to open in theaters on March 3,2017. This is the one that we have both waited for and dreaded, Hugh Jackman's swan song as the popular "X-Men" character Wolverine. If the teaser trailer is any indication, this movie promises to take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride looking more like a dramatic movie with action then vice versa. We will have hard time saying goodbye as the actor moves on to other projects. I can hardly imagine them finding anyone capable of filling his shoes and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
