I feel the day we solved the story of the movie was the day Scott Frank and I were in my room at the ACE hotel in NYC & came up with the idea for the Xmen comics to exist in the movie as something exaggerated that Logan detested.

In a way, this idea encapsulates my love /hate relationship with "super hero" films. I love the mythic values of them. They're morality tales of a modern age. But I hate they often reaffirm an idea that God will save us. That we as mortals bear no responsibility for our lives.

I tried to make a film that put us in the shoes of Gods. Frail Gods. So we could feel their disappointment in us. And also their exhaustion. The movie is, for me, undeniably political. About an age when we hide in consumerism, distracted in fantasy, as our real world burns.
