Director James Mangold, the same dude who brought us The Wolverine back in 2013 and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, also shared a page straight from the Logan screenplay in which our guy Logan gets to say the word "fuck" while apparently drunk because, you know, this shit is R-rated and all:

Chatting withEntertainment Tonight Monday, Jackman teased this very announcement while telling X-Men fans to expect some changes. "I'm the kind of person who tells everyone everything," Jackman joked. "Basically it's going to be very different in tone and hopefully different to anything we've done."

Following the R-rated successes of Deadpool, Jackman's final performance as Wolverine will boast the benefit of being equally R-rated. Producer Simon Kinberg confirmed this to Collider back in May, also noting the film is set in the future. "It's violent, it's kind of like a western in its tone," Kinberg said of this "radical" and "bold" Wolverine story. "It's just a very cool, different film."

Logan hits theaters next March.
