The movie was named Logan, after an inspiration from the 2008-2009 Marvel Comics storyline titled Wolverine: Old Man Logan by Mark Millar.

Logan’s movie director is James Mangold, who also directed the 2013 movie The Wolverine. In addition, Mangold also directed the 1999 movie Girl, Interrupted, the 2001 movie Kate & Leopold and the 2005 movie Walk the Line.
