Logan: First Look at 9 Exclusive Photos

Hugh Jackman was photographed exclusively for EW by Ben Watts on Feb. 4 in New York City.

When Jackman first auditioned for the Wolverine role in London in 1998, he didn’t get the part.

Logan is unlike any other X-Men movie. It’s dark and dreary and — if Jackman is to be believed — the last time we’ll see his Wolverine on screen.

Logan began as a conversation between Jackman and director James Mangold on the set of 2013’s The Wolverine.

Jackman and Mangold agreed that if there were to be another Wolverine sequel, it had to be something smaller, something darker.

Logan is out in theaters March 3.

Logan is Jackman’s ninth movie as the gruff and rough mutant from the north.
