8 Things You Need To Know About Wolverine: Old Man Logan

With Bryan Singer making 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea his next movie after X-Men: Apocalypse, the future of the X-Men franchise is unclear. 2016 will see the release of spinoffs Deadpool and Gambit, while a third Wolverine movie has been dated for the following year. What's significant about this instalment, however, is that Hugh Jackman has confirmed that it will be his final appearance as the fan-favourite mutant.

Old Man Logan Hulk

Why doesn’t Wolverine just kill the Hulks threatening his family? Well, this iteration of the character hasn’t popped his claws in over fifty years and even refuses to fight back when one of those Hulks viciously beats him in front of his clearly disappointed son.

Logan has given up violence and killing, something which continues even after he’s dragged into a number of action-packed escapades with Hawkeye across the course of their journey through the now supervillain controlled America (the country has been split into different sections with certain bad guys in control of each).

If the movie were to follow this, we’re going to end up with a Wolverine who spends most of his screentime with those iconic claws sheathed. The hero using them in impressive action sequences has become such a major selling point for these films that it’s hard to say whether Fox would be willing to do that, but it would certainly be refreshing if they did, as it forces Logan to protect himself in other more interesting and inventive ways.
