Logan may not have gotten the Best Picture nomination that some were hoping for, but the movie did break serious ground by being the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Screenplay. Considering that most superhero films aren’t exactly praised for their writing, this is a pretty major deal and it’s thanks to the hard work put in by James Mangold and co-writers Scott Frank and Michael Green. The group crafted a well-paced, compelling, and character-driven script, but it wasn’t without its challenges. Obviously, a movie where the main character isn’t afraid of anything isn’t particularly exciting to watch, so part of the job was finding what this centuries-old warrior was afraid of.
