May 9, 2025 – Los Angeles, CA — In a move that has stunned and thrilled Marvel fans around the world, 20th Century Studios has announced the development of “Logan 2,” the long-rumored sequel to 2017’s critically acclaimed Logan. And yes — Hugh Jackman is officially returning to reprise his legendary role as Wolverine.
Tentatively titled “Logan: Requiem”, the sequel will pick up years after the events of the first film, exploring the fate of mutantkind through the eyes of a new generation — and the legacy left behind by the fallen hero. While Jackman previously stated that Logan would be his final outing as the clawed mutant, insiders reveal that the emotional weight and creative vision of the new script convinced him to come back for “one last, meaningful chapter.”
Dafne Keen, who played fan-favorite Laura/X-23, is also confirmed to return — this time in a co-lead role as a grown-up version of her character, facing a world where mutant existence is again under threat. The film will reportedly explore themes of inheritance, redemption, and the cost of heroism, set in a bleak but hopeful post-mutant future.
The movie will be directed by James Mangold, who also helmed the first Logan, ensuring the sequel maintains the grounded, R-rated tone that made the original such a standout in the superhero genre. Speaking at a press event, Mangold called the new film “a story about scars — physical, emotional, and generational.”
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, the project is said to take inspiration from the X-Men: Legacy comics and parts of The Last Ronin-style storytelling, focusing on the last remnants of mutantkind and a mysterious new enemy hunting them down.
Production is scheduled to begin in fall 2025, with a theatrical release aimed for Summer 2027. The film is expected to be part of Marvel’s Multiverse Saga, though it will largely function as a standalone narrative — a tribute to Wolverine’s impact on fans and cinema alike.
For fans who thought they’d seen the last of Logan, one thing is now certain: the best there is at what he does isn’t done just yet.
