Logan Film

When Hannah Westerfield came home from school one day, her father had some good news for her and told her that he just got a call from 20th Century Fox. She had settled a role in the latest Marvel Comics’ movie, “Logan” in 2017. “I was super excited,” said Westerfield, “I loved the X-Men series and my favorite character was Mystique, played by Jennifer Lawrence. I did aspire to be in a superhero movie, but being an actress I’m interested in playing in all types of roles. But action and dramas have been what I’m trying to aim for.”

Westerfield was assigned to play Rebecca, a mutant kid in “Logan,” the latest film about the most iconic X-Men member, Wolverine. The plot of the film is a number of mutant kids escape from an asylum and ultimately encounter the Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman. As Rebecca, Westerfield’s mutant power is the capacity to fly or walk on air. But sadly, the scene where her skills were on full display was cut from the theatrical version. She hopes it will be added as a deleted scene feature in the movie’s DVD release.“They shot a lot of films, almost too much, and had to cut a lot of the stuff the kids did,” Westerfield said.

James Mangold served as a director whereas Scott Frank along with Michael Green co-wrote the screenplay. The first teaser trailer released on October 20, 2016, advertising the film as a very different kind of comic book movie than what we expect from a major studio. It was theatrically released in the United States on March 3, 2017, in standard and IMAX formats. It received praise from critics and audiences, with many calling it one of the best superhero films of all time.
