James Howlett, also known as Logan or by his codename Wolverine, is a fictional character who originated as the main protagonist of 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series. He is portrayed by Hugh Jackman and is based on the Marvel Comics character Wolverine, created by Len Wein and John Romita Sr.

Logan has been the central figure of the film series, having appeared in nine films since his introduction in X-Men (2000). 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.

For his portrayal of Logan, Jackman held the Guinness World Record of the "longest career as a live-action Marvel character", alongside Patrick Stewart.[2] Jackman is set to return to reprise the role in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), produced by Marvel Studios and set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
