So this trailer has made me far more emotional then I ever would have thought possible. As much of a train wreck the first Wolverine film was (haven't seen the second, should I?), and even thought the X-men films have a varying quality across them, Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart have been these iconic character for a decade. The most perfect song chosen for this trailer, cut almost perfectly to show so many different emotions and moods, and the thought of these actors hanging up such iconic mantles after this....is enough to make a grown man tear up. Also I know he is in absolutely fine health and still acting and enjoying his life, but thinking about an old Patrick Stewart going increasingly senile, even just in a movie role, is heartbreaking. This trailer hit me hard with the realization that this might could happen to him during my lifetime, gods forbid. I'm not ready to think about such a historic actor getting towards the end of his life, and this fucking trailer made me. I was not expecting to have so many feels today,
I am beyond fucking fascinated by this film, and will be seeing it in the theater opening weekend. I'm sure it'll have it's fair share of "comic book jank" but I think sending these fantastic actors off is an important of a reason to see it as just wanting to (though I very much want to)
I'm usually not on the Non-Disney/CMU side of Marvel films anymore, outside the rare exception of Deadpool, but man I might be as equally excited for this as I am Guardians Vol 2 next year. Also we get Spider Man Homecoming AND John Wick 2 next year?
I don't think I've ever been more excited for a years upcoming movies.
