The Berlin International Film Festival has
posted the runtime and a new synopsis for Logan on their website. The description for the 135-minute film reads
In 2024 the mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men
have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has
surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He
takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One
day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the
Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting
for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary
fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by
sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because her
DNA contains the secret that connects her to Logan. A relentless
pursuit begins … In this third cinematic outing featuring the Marvel
comic book character Wolverine we see the superheroes beset by everyday
problems. They are ageing, ailing and struggling to survive financially.
A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to
put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the
near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights
with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.
