Today in New York, 20th Century Fox showcased a few of its big genre movies that are currently in production. The one seemingly getting the most buzz is the third Wolverine film, Logan.
We’ll have full write-ups of all the footage (which also included War for the Planet of the Apes and Alien: Covenant) soon, but for now, here are some very, very positive reactions to the first 40 minutes of Logan. No spoilers.
First up, a few tweets from our reporter who was in the room.

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

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

HOLY SHIT BALLS! Watched the first 40 mins of LOGAN and it's the Wolverine film I've been waiting to see an R Rated version. Insane!

Watched first act of @WolverineMovie . It FINALLY gets the vicious, feral animal that is Wolverine. Violent and brutal and really cool!

I loved every second of what we saw. It's different, it's brutal, and the girl, man. It's all about that little girl. https://t.co/qBwIDnRNMR

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!

There were a few takes that were less than positive, but there may be more Wolverine movies than there were negative reviews. Suffice to say, if the next hour of Logan lives up to this first 4o minutes, we could be in for something special come March 3.
That’s when Logan, directed by James Mangold, starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen (as Laura/X-23), opens.
