The Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 trailer is breaking records, and two trailers were just released for Spider-Man: Homecoming. All of this might make it easy to forget that Fox is also getting set to release an anticipated comic book movie next year: Logan, the (supposedly) final time to see Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (and definitely the last time we'll see Patrick Stewart as Professor X). But here is a reminder - the Logan trailer was also one of the best received trailers of all time. And now, Fox has screened the first 40 minutes of the film for attendees at a New York showcase event.
Of course, first reactions (especially when the movie isn't screened in its entirety) are almost always deceiving. But we believe that this isn't the case this time around. Logan is the first R-rated superhero flick (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice doesn't count, because the R-rated version was released only on Blu-ray) to arrive after Deadpool - and Deadpool made history.
So check out the first reactions below:
#Fox screens first 40 minutes of #Logan. Fans are finally getting the bloody, primal Wolverine movie they always wanted.

Okay, saw 40 minutes. Will have an overall write up later, but this is a much more violent, cool version of Wolverine #Logan @joblocom

If you have doubts about how X23 will be in #Logan you can rest easy. She is awesome and vicious. #Logan @joblocom

X-23 absolutely steals the show. Best X-Men character since Deadpool. #Logan

The first 40 mins of LOGAN takes the "gritty superhero" conceit & utterly destroys it. Total mic drop. #20thCenturyFoxShowcase2017

My palms are sweating right now. This is R-rated epic. I was skeptic about R-rated Wolverine movie but 5 minutes in, I’m all in.

Holy shit. Just watched the first 40 minutes of #Logan. If you loved #deadpool, you will go nuts with this and there’s no comedy!

Just saw first act of #Logan. Wait til you guys meet Laura (X-23) — she steals every scene she is in.
