ICYMI–the upcoming Wolverine film, Logan, looks to be a far grittier, darker offering than the usual Marvel fare, and we’re looking forward to it. The title of the above TV spot that aired during Superbowl is called “Grace”, and is the latest in a series of various spots for the upcoming film. Via Independent:
From reports that star Hugh Jackman took a pay-cut to ensure the studio wouldn’t push for a PG-13 rating, to the first trailers pushing a gritty, more realistic style that takes pains to differentiate itself from the rest of the X-men universe – Logan is truly establishing itself as a totally unique beast, and quite the final outing for Jackman’s take on Wolverine.

Logan takes place in a near-future in which Wolverine finds his healing factor is losing its effectiveness, meaning he’s begun to succumb to the effects of age. He can still survive bullets and is shot multiple times throughout the scene, but each time he’s winded and knocked down by the pain, with his efforts now far more noticeably strained.
