In modern day Japan, Wolverine is out of his depth in an unknown world as he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. When Wolverine is summoned to Japan by an old acquaintance, he is embroiled in a conflict that forces him to confront his own demons . Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before. But when wolverine is most vulnerable, he's most dangerous . In Japan young Yashida gives Wolverine a samurai sword with 6 Kanji letters engraved on it. These Kanji read: "Never Died, Never Aged, Never Destroyed". This is apt for Wolverine.
Thrilling and rousing musical score by Marco Beltrani . Colorful as well as evocative cinematography by Ross Emery . The motion picture was professionally directed by James Mangold , though Guillermo Del Toro and Darren Aronofsky were originally set to direct and the latter worked on the project for six months before departing . According to James Mangold, the film had started out as a prequel to X-Men (2000), but later he decided to make it a sequel to X-Men , the last stand (2006) : "I wanted to tell the story without the burden of handing it off to a film that already exists and having to conform to it. The ideas of immortality reign very heavily in this story, and the burden of immortality weighs heavily on Logan. For me that's such an interesting part of Logan's character that it is nearly impossible to explore in a prequel"
