Stars: Hugh Jackman, Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee, Tao Okamoto
Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is in a deep superhero funk in this latest edition of the franchise. Set adrift by the heartbreaking loss of everyone that he cared about, Logan is searching for a way to become fully human. He is snatched out of his introspective search for meaning in his life by a wealthy Japanese businessman who needs the Wolverine’s professional expertise.
Jackman reportedly stuck to a spartan diet and grueling exercise routine to get in shape for the role. And the results of that dedication are decidedly otherworldly. One reviewer lamented that if becoming human caused the Wolverine to lose that six pack, it would be better for him to remain half wolf. We agree. –p.d. lee
