Film Review

Logan 2 picks up years after the haunting finale of Logan (2017), bringing Hugh Jackman back as an older, battle-scarred Wolverine living in quiet exile on the fringes of a broken world. With mutants nearly wiped out and humanity colder and harsher than ever, Logan exists as a shadow of his former self—until Laura (Dafne Keen), now fully grown and hardened as X-23, tracks him down with a dire revelation: a secret government program is forging hybrid mutants using his very DNA.

Drawn reluctantly back into the fight, Logan finds himself mentoring a new generation of engineered youths, even as his healing falters and the weight of his violent history presses harder than ever. At its heart, the film is a raw exploration of the bond between Logan and Laura—a connection born in blood and pain, yet sustained by fierce loyalty and an unspoken love that neither can deny.

Visually, Logan 2 embraces the same stripped-down realism of its predecessor: brutal, bone-crunching combat contrasted with hushed, intimate silences that speak volumes. Jackman delivers one of his most nuanced performances to date, embodying a man who has lived too long, lost too much, and still refuses to stop fighting. Keen is electrifying—feral and fragile all at once, her presence both grounds and elevates every scene she inhabits.

Logan 2 is not merely a continuation—it’s a reckoning. Brutal yet tender, bleak yet profoundly human, it distills the essence of legacy, sacrifice, and survival. A superhero story disguised as a tragic elegy, it honors Wolverine’s past while boldly carving a future for X-23.

Rating: 9/10 – A visceral, unforgettable chapter in the X-Men saga and a worthy continuation of Wolverine’s legacy.
