There’s been some pretty good buzz about Logan, and from what we’ve seen it’s like nothing we’ve seen from the X-Men universe before, which is underlined by this Super Bowl spot. It certainly shows that this is a far cry from Days Of Future Past, Apocalypse, or even The Wolverine. But it does look like it might be good.
Here’s the short synopsis: ‘In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.’

Michael Bay said he was only directing three Transformers films, but then he agreed to make a fourth. That though, he said, would definitely be the last, before he signed on to help a fifth one. However, this time he seems to really mean it, as alongside The Last Knight’s Super Bowl spot, Bay has released a statement underlining that this will be his final time as director (although he does leave the door open).
Personal Shopper certainly divided audiences at Cannes last year eliciting boos at the critics screening and a standing ovation the next night on its official premiere.
