Earlier this year, James Mangold delivered one of the strongest, strangest superhero movies we've ever seen with Logan. Of its many quirks, the release showcased Sir Patrick Stewart's Professor X obsessing over Taco Bell's quesalupa.
In a new interview with The Huffington Post, Mangold explained exactly why he included such cheesy dialogue.
"The funny story of why that dialogue's in there is, I was actually offered a Taco Bell commercial while we were in prep," Mangold said. "And while I was writing the scene, I was looking for Charles to say things — random things — that indicate that he'd been watching TV too much, and I literally had this Taco Bell commercial script on my desk for the new quesalupa from Taco Bell, and in my desperation to get pages done, I just took it and plugged it right in."
Hilariously, while Logan's quesalupa chatter was not a paid promotion, similar dialogue was released in a 2016 Super Bowl ad for the cheesy snack. Watch George Takei discuss its deliciousness below.
