If the current confusion surrounding the X-Men series is getting you down, then you can always relive Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine in Logan - especially now that director James Mangold is offering fans a peek at unseen footage.

As part of a Logan quarantine watch party, the film's director shared a 'rough cut' of its opening sequence, in which we see a weaker and worn-out Logan pushed to the brink by a gang of thugs. Although the footage (which Mangold put together with Logan's stunt co-ordinator Garrett Warren) reveals what the scenes looked like pre-production, it's still as bad-ass as the final cut.

Elsewhere, James Mangold recently explained how he and Hugh reached the decision to have Wolverine exit the X-Men franchise entirely.

Revealing why Logan ended with the beloved character's death, Mangold admitted it was a "logical" endpoint. "It was really Hugh and I at first," he said.

"It seemed logical, that if it were going to be his last film, that he's either going to ride off onto the horizon or die, that you need to have some kind of curtain on his story. That's a logical assumption, right?

"You needed the sense of closure. You needed some sense of an ending if you were going to end, if you were dealing with the legacy of Hugh's many performances and many films, and trying to set this part in some definitive way."
