Logan Is So Good That Its Honest Trailer Had to Recruit the Most Sarcastic Superhero Alive for Backup

It’s hard to find anything to dislike about Logan, James Mangold’s excellent X-Men Western that toys with the very idea of what a superhero movie should be. Even the Honest Trailer for the film heaps praise on its performances, especially Jackman as an aging Wolverine fighting “new villains” like coughing fits, alcoholism, depression, and Mel Gibson–style facial hair. It’s so good that it “makes the last 17 years of X-Men movies look meh by comparison.”

But in an effort to find something mockable in Manigold’s masterpiece, Screen Junkies turned to another Marvel star for backup: Ryan Reynolds, in character as Deadpool, who can surely find something to get snarky about. But don’t expect him to feel threatened by another R-rated superhero—not only does he think the movie is worthy of an Oscar nomination, he has his own ideas for a Logan-inspired Deadpool sequel.
