The first Logan trailer gave us a little peek of what Wolverine’s life looks like these days, now that he’s suffering chronic pain after his powers go into steep decline. Now director James Mangold has shared yet another new photo of Logan looking very much worse for the wear. Check it out below.

When the first Logan trailer came out, I called Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” an obvious choice of soundtrack music. But boy, is it an appropriate one. This photo just radiates pain and angst.
Logan is set in a future where the mutant population is rapidly falling. Logan is much older now, and for once he looks it. This version of the character is loosely based on “Old Man Logan” arc from the comics. A page from the Logan script shared the character’s current state as follows:
So by all means, go ahead and worry about him.
Still, the film isn’t just two hours of Logan sitting at home wallowing in fear and self-pity. Logan finds a new purpose when he’s called upon to help a young mutant, Laura (Dafne Keen), who is not so unlike himself. Patrick Stewart returns as Professor X, Stephen Merchant plays his caretaker Caliban, Boyd Holbrook plays the villain Donald Pierce, and Richard E. Grant plays mad scientist Zander Rice.
Logan is in theaters March 3, 2017.
