Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine and X-24: A physically enhanced mutant with accelerated healing, dealing with his age (roughly 197 years) and ailment. He is one of Charles Xavier 's caregivers, alongside Caliban. Mangold spoke of Logan 's age influencing his regenerative capabilities, which he stated may no longer produce soft skin, "so we imagined he heals quickly, still, but it leaves a scar. The simple idea was that his body would start to get a little more ravaged with a kind of tattooing of past battles, lacerations that remain of previous conflicts. '' Jackman indicated that he believed he was nearing the end of his run as Wolverine, and there was speculation early on that his next film could be his last. On the second page of the screenplay, Mangold spoke of Logan as "... he 's older now and it 's clear his abilities are n't what they once were. He 's fading on the inside and his diminished healing factor keeps him in a constant state of chronic pain -- hence booze as a painkiller. '' In 2015, Jackman requested fan input for the direction Wolverine 's story should go in the next film, while seeming to confirm that the project would serve as his farewell to Logan. To prepare for his role, Jackman ate a minimum of six meals per day, when working with trainer Mike Ryan. Ryan stated that an average workout session for Jackman lasts up to three hours, beginning at 4: 00 a.m. Jackman stated, "... it 's going to be very different. Very different in tone and hopefully different to anything we 've done. '' Regarding the more personal tone Jackman noted "That 's always been really his dilemma, coming to terms with who he is ''. Jackman has also explained that comedian Jerry Seinfeld was indirectly responsible for his decision to stop playing Logan after 17 years, with Jackman stating, "I was having a chat with (Seinfeld) about a year ago... he was talking about why he finished Seinfeld... He said he 'd always had this feeling and belief that you never know when either your energy or the audience 's energy is going to dip over into people (saying) ' Oh, please go. ' '' Jackman accepted a pay reduction to ensure that the film would be produced to receive an R - rating. Jackman also plays X-24, a soulless and feral younger clone of Wolverine, loyal only to Zander Rice.
