In a recent interview with Collider, X-Men star Patrick Stewart, who playes Charles Xavier, talked about what makes Logan unique.
“When I saw the first screenplay – the first draft – I was stunned. Shocked. Surprised. And delighted, because diversity has been such an important part of my life and work for over 50 years. ‘Please, please, give me something new and different to do. Don’t make me repeat the same thing over and over again.’ And this was certainly different… Page by page, I saw this developing. I was intrigued and excited by the prospects that stayed with me until the last moment on camera.”
Additionally, the actor commented on working with Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, and the director, James Mangold.
“To be, once more, working with Hugh [Jackman], who I’ve been working with from the very beginning, with James [Mangold], who I’d only done one day’s worth of work in the past, but I enjoyed it, and then to be in the company… Dafne Keen, who is the youngest member of the cast and is quite extraordinary. Working with her and with Hugh was a huge highlight.”
