As Variety reported, the "Logan" movie made $85.3 million in its debut weekend so far, and is set to take in more. "Deadpool" marked a turning point in terms of superhero films for mature audiences, and "Logan" capitalized on the success Fox had to deliver even more drama alongside more mature themes. "Logan" costed $97 million to make. Box office income could quickly surpass that by this week. "Deadpool 2" looks to further capitalize on the success Fox is having with mature superhero fare when it arrives in 2018. Besides the next Deadpool movie, Fox hasn't been clear with what X-Men related movie it plans to make next.
Stewart told the Independent his experience realizing this would be the last time him and Jackman would portray X-Men on screen.
"Here we are, the two X-Men wiping away the tears at our own movie! And then I thought while we were watching, 'My God, this is a goodbye ending. What could I possibly do that could top this? As I've lived with that idea over the past few days, I thought: 'Yeah, it's absolutely right that we should both of us just move on now.' The franchise won't die [without us]."Both actors came to the X-Men franchise in the very first X-Men movie, 2000's "X-Men," and have been with the franchise for 17 long years as cast standouts. "Logan," as potentially the last X-Men related film to feature the two superbly cast actors, hosts a significantly different look than casual fans of the previous X-Men films will be accustomed to, but offers a distinctive sendoff for Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and this stage of the X-Men movie era.
