Logan (March 3)

After the release of its first trailer, Logan became one of the most anticipated superhero movies of 2017 "“ if not the most anticipated. And this says something, especially since it’s a part of the X-Men Shared Universe and of the very poorly received Wolverine franchise. It’s the swan song of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in the respective roles of Wolverine and Professor X, and, most likely, just the first flick of X-23 in the shared universe.

And it’s rated R!

Of course, depending on the movie’s success, Hugh Jackman may return in the role (although I doubt it), given the most recent teases from Ryan Reynolds (the two actors are good buddies, and they might appear on the big screen together one last time in a Deadpool sequel).

There are no other notable releases on March 3, so Logan will certainly win the weekend. With the praise was heaped on the 40-minute preview, I guess that the entire movie will do well with the critics. And it’s quite awesome, given the previous Wolverine installments.

At the moment, the one question I have in regard to this movie is this: Will it manage to beat Deadpool to become the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time? I hope it will.
