Disney+ may be the de facto streaming home for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the live-action Marvel films that came from production companies other than Marvel Studios tend to bounce around between services. Sony’s Spider-Man films and the Fox X-Men sometimes find themselves on Disney+ alongside their MCU counterparts. Other times, they pop up on services like Netflix, Peacock, or Max. This month, it’s Max gave fans a Marvel surprise, adding what is easily one of the all-time best Marvel films to its DC-heavy roster.

Max added a slew of new movies at the start of April, one of which was James Mangold’s Logan, the film that was meant to be the Wolverine swan song for longtime Marvel star Hugh Jackman.
Logan was universally praised upon its release back in 2017, with both fans and critics raving about the emotional story, hard-hitting action, and stellar lead performances. Jackman and Patrick Stewart reprised their X-Men roles to close the chapter of their stories, while the film also introduced Dafne Keen as Laura, aka X-23.
Logan ultimately didn’t mark the end of Jackman or Stewart’s Marvel tenures, but their subsequent returns haven’t lessened the quality or impact of Mangold’s film. Logan, along with films like Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight, continues to stand out as a benchmark for all future comic book movies. In the eyes of many fans, nothing has lived up to the high bar set by Logan in the eight years since its release.
If you’ve got a Max subscription and haven’t seen any of the X-Men movies that precede Logan, you don’t have to worry about tracking them down elsewhere. Sure, there’s some added context to be found in those movies, but Logan can still stand alone as a fantastic experience without them.
It seems, at least so far, that Max subscribers have had no trouble checking in on what Jackman and Mangold have to offer with Logan. Since being added at the top of the month, Logan has been a daily fixture on Max’s Top 10 Movies list. Sunday’s edition of the list sees Logan in the third overall spot, behind only brand new releases 2073 and Y2K.
