Logan

The latest installment in the X-Men franchise brings Wolverine's story arc to a close. It is 2029, and Logan (Jackman) no longer calls himself Wolverine. No mutants have been born in over two decades, and even existing ones, like Logan and Charles Xavier (Stewart), whom Logan cares for in his old age, are slowly losing their powers. After Logan is approached by a mysterious woman, he reluctantly agrees to escort a young girl named Laura (Keen) to a far-off sanctuary. Shortly after Logan learns that Laura is a mutant who was artificially bred in a lab, a team of assassins ambushes him and Xavier, intent on destroying the escaped mutant girl.

After the battle, Chinese strategist Wang (Lau) explains that the monsters, called Taoties, first appeared 2,000 years ago after they emerged from a crashed green meteor, and that the just-repulsed attack won't be their last.
