James Howlett, known as Logan and by his codename Wolverine, is a fictional character who originated as a main protagonist and central figure of 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series, having appeared in nine films since his introduction in X-Men (2000), including both ensemble and solo films. He is portrayed by Hugh Jackman and is based on the Marvel Comics character Wolverine, created by Len Wein and John Romita Sr. Jackman later portrayed multiple alternate "variants" of Logan from the multiverse in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), produced by Marvel Studios and set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Troye Sivan portraying a young Logan in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and Henry Cavill portraying a variant dubbed "Cavillrine" in the former film.

The character and Jackman's performance have been credited with helping to cement the series as a multi-billion-dollar franchise, with Logan's appearance often being considered the face of the X-Men. In 2019, Jackman's appearance in Logan (2017) earned him the Guinness World Record for the "longest career as a live-action Marvel character", though the record has been surpassed by other actors since.[2][3]
