Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Dafne Keen as X-23 in Logan
The Big Picture The X-Men movie franchise had a massive upheaval in 2017 when Logan was released. Not only is it still considered the high point of 20th Century Fox's take on the mutant heroes, but it also marked Hugh Jackman's final time playing Wolverine — at least, for a while. Logan also reunited Jackman with James Mangold, who directed the previous Logan-centric film The Wolverine in 2013.
Wolverine Dies a Hero in 'Logan' Transigen's lead scientist, Dr. Zander Rice , winds up unleashing a younger, feral clone of Logan named X-24 to capture Laura. X-24 murders Xavier, and later winds up mortally wounding Logan by impaling him on a tree. Eventually, Laura kills the clone using an Adamantium bullet that Logan had kept with him and is by his side when he dies. With his dying breath, Logan tells Laura, "Don't be what they made you.
What Happens to Laura in 'Logan'? Laura believes that Logan and Xavier are taking her to "Eden," a sanctuary for mutants that lies on the Canadian-American border.

Different Versions of Jackman's Wolverine & Stewart's Professor X Appear in the MCU Close Though Logan was touted as the end of the road for Jackman and Stewart, both actors wound up playing different versions of their characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jackman has a similar role in Deadpool & Wolverine, as he plays a version of Wolverine who's considered to have "let down his entire world" after he failed to save the X-Men. Deadpool & Wolverine also pays homage to Logan, both in a humorous way with Deadpool digging up Logan's skeleton and using it as a weapon, and in an emotional way when the duo encounters Laura in the Void.
