Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

There was ten years in between Logan being pulled out of the river, to when he's in the Alkali Lake facility. Raven reacted with surprise and fear when she saw Stryker at the mansion ruins. Enough time for Stryker to become curious about the Mutant with bone claws who reacted with fear upon seeing him and for him to track Logan down.

 

I thought it was because Singer said in the commentary it was hinting that Apocalypse wasn't dead as he has complete control over his molecular structure and can just rebuild himself over many years?

 

""All is revealed" plays to me like the Nazis opening the ark of the covenant in Raiders, they're revealed of something larger, bigger than them, and then they're exploded. Jean is the Ark in this scenario. Seems to me like a bombastic thing a super-mutant would say before he goes all explodey.

I think Apocalypse is a tad overtly whispery or shouty in the flick but it's not all unbearable, sometimes it's kinda neat.

 

I've never seen it either. I just remembered reading it in an article.

First Poster For WOLVERINE 3 Reveals That The Movie Will Be Titled LOGAN

 

Just like I've expected, X-23 will replace the old Logan.

 

I just assumed Apocalypse said "all is revealed" because he saw something resembling the afterlife as he was dying? I didn't read too much into it.

 

I hope they choses an actress with a body more like the X-Men Evolution's X-23 then the comics

 

Well, judging by the hand on the poster, it would be a child or perhaps Deadpool.

 

Maybe it has something to do with Mr. Sinister. Just not sure were they connected in the movie universe.

 

Nobody asked you.

 

Now, now. That's not nice.

 

Just look a few pages back, I was totally right about Sinister and X-23 but they just toss it away.

 

Only if there were true. I know Reynolds wanted to do another film with Jackman before he hung up the claws. A Deadpool cameo in Logan would be awesome!

 

Logan must have cut off La Picina de la Muerta's hand or he has naturally small hands.

 

So anyone think they're going post-apocalyptic future ala the "Old Man Logan" comic source or put it in "modern" times (as modern as the timelines can get in the X-verse). cuz if Logan is basically raising X-23, they gotta have her the right age so she can be Wolverine when Jackman hangs up the claws.

Maybe also Fox didn't want to put out a movie with "Old Man" in the title so they just went with "Logan".

Technically, it should be called James Howlett anyway, right? Wait did DOFP Logan have his memory wiped? Oh, yeah, he did cuz it was confirmed in Apocalypse and Jean gave him some memories back.

Dammit, I'm falling down an X-movie-verse timeline rabbit hole here, help!

 

James Howlett was another man/boy, Logan is the man who he is now.

 

Well going by what I've seen X-23 is 8 years old or so in this movie. Mr. Sinister is the villain, set post DoFP epilogue by quite a few years. But not post apoclyptic. So just near future. Which combined with X-23's age, I'm having a hard time seeing how she's not going to be a one and done character. With the franchise backk in the 80s now they'll likely just recast Wolverine.

 

Deadpool is in the present, Fox would probably want Deadpool and the X-folks to interact (maybe with some creative usage of Deadpool in a PG-13 film) and the "main" series seems to be jumping each decade with each installment. the next movie is "New Mutants" so maybe it'll all meet up in the "Present". While I don't dispute that they could totally just have X-23 be done in one only for this flick, it'd be weird if Wolverine basically "trains" her to be the new Wolverine and then, nope, can't use X-23/new Wolverine because timeline shifting.

I'm probably putting too much thought into this, I'd figure at some point Fox will put all of the X-characters and actors in the same modern time period and just shrug "yeah, whatever, we did a time travel movie so that explains it."

 

Why would they want "Old Man Logan"? They don't have Red Skull nor the Hulk.

 

Well, I always said that they could literally just Find/Replace the Marvel baddies in Old Man Logan with some X-brand knock (Hulk becomes Sabertooth, Red Skull becomes Mister Sinister) off but I think it's going to have a similar road-trip, wolverine is forced out of isolation/retirement for one final throwdown with a big baddie. Of course, The Wolverine also opened with him coming out of isolation but, hey, Wolverine kinda does that. A lot.

 

No, I don't think the story would be friendly to the general audience overall. It got wayyy too many extreme R materials.
