Hugh Jackman’s last ride as Wolverine is drawing very near. AsLoganlooms, it is a very bittersweet time for fans of theX-Menfranchise, but at least by most accounts, the character is going out on top. Ever since the first images, which were mostly in black and white, started surfacing online we have all been very encouraged thatJames Mangold’s upcomingWolverine moviewould be the one we’ve been waiting to see. Speaking of those black and white pictures, it looks like we may actually be getting a full black and white version of the movie in the future.
As it stands, the theatrical release ofLoganis going to be in color, but the promotional photos have shown us that this movie could look pretty great in black and white. Quite a few fans think so as well and one of them reached out toJames MangoldonTwitterto see if there would be a release of the movie in black and white at some point. The director replied with a simple yet encouraging, “Workin' on it.” So it looks like we could definitely be seeing a black and white version ofLogan, which is definitely exciting.
“In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailingProfessor Xin a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.”
Though the moviegoing public hasn’t yet been treated to seeingLogan, critics are absolutely loving it so far. The movie currently has a 93 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and most of those positive reviews aren’t just positive, they are glowing. So if the movie meets those expectations in the eyes of fans when it’s released and there is clear demand, Fox could re-releaseLoganin theaters a few months down the road in black and white to try and drum up a little extra box office. It would also serve as a very good excuse for fans to go see the movie again in theaters. There is also the possibility thatJames Mangoldcould be doing a black and white version that ultimately winds up on a Blu-ray/DVD release. Either way, it’ll probably be very cool to see a black and whiteX-Menmovie.
DirectorGeorge Millerdid a similar thing withMad Max: Fury Road. The movie got a very limited black and white release in theaters but the version was included in a deluxe edition release later. Whatever we can do to milk every last ounce of enjoyment out ofHugh Jackman’s last turn asLogan. There had been some talk that he might put on the claws again for aDeadpoolandWolverinemovie withRyan Reynolds, but during the press tour forLoganJackmanhas made it very clear that this is definitely going to be his last time.
