20th Century Fox has released the first official teaser trailer for director James Mangold's Logan (aka Wolverine 3). The film stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant and Dafne Keen, and is reported to carry an R rating.
Logan is set to open in theaters on March 3, 2017.
Fox has yet to release a full synopsis, however, Logan opens in a future, possibly post-apocalyptic world with few remaining mutants. ("Charles, the world is not the same as it was. Mutants... they're gone now.") An aging Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), with the aid of an aging, ailing Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), set out to protect a special child (Dafne Keen, presumably playing fan-favorite mutant X-23) from a pursuing agency.
The film is directed by Mangold from a screenplay by Michael Green and Scott Frank & James Mangold, based on a story by David James Kelly and James Mangold.
It is produced by Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker and Lauren Shuler Donner.
Also available is an international trailer, with a few additional snippets of more violent footage:
