I absolutely loved directorJames Mangold’sLogan. While I had high hopes going in, I’ll admit the finished film was even better than I imagined. Unlike the previousX-MenandWolverinefilms that have come before, what’s unique aboutLoganis it doesn’t have to set up the next installment or worry about holding back because of the rating. Because Mangold andHugh Jackmanhad complete freedom to tell this story, they were able to make the movie they wanted to make and bring fans the version of Wolverine we’ve always wanted to see. I really can’t give everyone involved enough praise for such a job well done and to Fox for letting them make this movie. And I haven’t even gotten into how awesomePatrick Stewartwas as Charles Xavier or the rest of the supporting cast includingDafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook,Stephen Merchant,Richard E. Grant, andElizabeth Rodriguez. For more on the film,read Matt Goldberg’s review.
Shortly before the film came out, I sat down with Boyd Holbrook for an exclusive video interview. He talked about how he landed the role, what appealed to him about the character, how he doesn’t play an over-the-top villain, being part ofShane Black’sThe Predatorand who he plays, and more. Check out what he had to say in the video above and below is a list of what we talked about followed by some links to otherLoganinterviews.
