10 Logan Easter Eggs You May Have Missed

Logan, Hugh Jackman's final stint in the role of Wolverine, is finally here and thankfully, it's everything we wanted it to be and more - with critics and audiences alike showering heaps of praise upon it. A stripped-back sombre take on the superhero genre, it's being called one of the finest comic book movies ever by many and that's a sentiment we wholeheartedly agree with.

Seeing as this is the final appearance of both Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in their long-running roles of Wolvie and Charles Xavier, respectively, Logan brings things full circle by referencing the pair’s first movie together: 2000’s X-Men. 

In the scene where Charles is first introduced, as a confused old man suffering from perhaps Alzheimer’s or ALS, he talks to Logan about when they first met, back when he was making a living as a cage fighter. Those with long memories will recall that Rogue finds Wolverine in a cage fight at the beginning of the original X-Men.

Less on the nose is Charles’ muddled talk about Laura waiting for Logan at the Statue of Liberty. Wolverine reminds him that the event on Liberty Island “was a long time ago,” clearly referencing X-Men‘s big third act, which revolved around Magneto’s evil plan based at the Statue of Liberty.
