How Clint Eastwood Influenced Wolverine

Clint Eastwood has one of the most iconic and storied careers in modern movie history, a career that casts a long shadow, especially within the Western genre that made his name. Likewise, Hugh Jackman's turn as Wolverine is perhaps one of the most iconic portrayals of a superhero. With over two decades and multiple films, Wolverine (aka Logan) and the X-Men films were instrumental in revitalizing the modern superhero film boom that we now are claiming fatigue over, with that era of films culminating with Logan, a film that owes a debt to Clint Eastwood's magnum opus, Unforgiven.
