Logan Deleted Scene The Beware The Light Scene Went On A Bit Little Longer

‘Logan’ Deleted Scene: The “Beware The Light” Scene Went On A Bit Little Longer

Also on the home video release is a deleted scene with Caliban (Stephen Merchant). Below, watch the Logan deleted scene (Spoilers are ahead).

There will be a few deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray featuring optional commentary from co-writer/director James Mangold, but you probably don’t need to hear it from him why this scene with Caliban was cut. It’s an addition to the already great scene in which Logan and Professor’s brief moment of happiness gets cut short when unwanted guests arrive at the Munson’s home.

Here’s the Logan deleted scene, featuring Marco Beltrami’s gut-turning score:

The final cut moment with Caliban probably would’ve made the horrific scenario bleaker. When Logan’s clone shows up, it’s already a dark enough sequence. Logan witnessing another one of his friends die right in front of him maybe would’ve been too much. It wouldn’t have felt out of place with the film’s dire tone, but it’s a deleted scene for a reason. Plus, Caliban’s death is hard-hitting enough in the movie. The “Beware the light” line makes for an intense, swift and brutal farewell for the character.

Here’s more info on the Logan Blu-Ray:

Touting an R-rating, allowing fans to finally see Logan’s legendary berserk rage unleashed, Mangold brings a visceral and gritty realism to the story, based on one of Marvel Comics’ most popular characters. In the near future, a weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) in a hideout on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are upended when a young mutant (Dafne Keen) arrives, being pursued by dark forces.

Logan is available on DVD and Blu-Ray on May 23.
