It’s a fan-favorite alternate reality dystopia, and features some truly excellent moments. Unless, of course, maybe it meant bringing Wolverine into the Avengers.In my book, Mark Millar’s best Marvel work on Wolverine comes in the form of flash-forward elseworld Old Man Logan where Wolverine is, well, an old man, and the Marvel heroes have (for the most part) fallen. At this point, it seems unlikely that Marvel would be willing to strike a deal with Fox that sees them sharing any of these characters. And it's possible to bring in Cyclops with out altering Logan's character arc from the comic book. While the Hulk plays a huge role in 'Old Man Logan', Mark Millar suggests that he could easily be replaced by The Blob. If that's the case, Fox could easily substitute other Marvel characters with characters from the X-Men franchise, and still have the story make sense. According to the actor, the story treatment is at 90%, with over an hour's worth of script already written. Some believe that Xavier will take over the Hawkeye role if 'Old Man Logan' truly is what's being cooked up by director James Mangold and Hugh Jackman. The sequel will explore their father-and-son relationship, driving to the deep core of their personas.

I know this stuff backwards because I've lived my whole life loving this stuff, but most people don't know the entire minutia and everything so I think keeping it simplified and keeping it generally X-Men universe is a smarter thing to do.Įarlier this week, Hugh Jackman confirmed that Patrick Stewart has a pretty substantial role as Professor X in Wolverine 3.

I kind of like it, keeping it in the X-Men universe a little, too, because comic fans are different from the mainstream world. Honestly, the continuity stuff is the most boring side of it. Speaking with IGN, he explained how it could definitely work. As far as we know, 'Old Man Logan' simply isn't happening. During Comic-Con this past July, Hugh Jackman joked that it was going to serve as the basis for the script, and some fans took him a little too seriously. At the top of everyone's wish list was seeing 'Old Man Logan' brought to life on the big screen. Over the summer, Hugh Jackman asked fans to send him ideas for Wolverine 3.
