Jackman's getting to the point where he could play Old Man Wolverine in a few years. Don't be surprised if 10-15 years down the road they want to bring him back for another new X-men movie.

Would be just like how Harrison Ford returned for Indiana Jones 4.

A better example would be Sean Connery for "Never Say Never."

Oh you guys keeping score of the X-Men timeline are gonna LOVE this

Quote:
From the trailers we could tell that Logan was going to be tonally different to the X-Men movies that have come before. In our exclusive trailer breakdown, director James Mangold alluded to the very different style of the movie.

But now it turns out it's not even set in the same universe as the other X-Men and Wolverine films.


"When you see the full movie you'll understand," he told us. "Not only is it different in terms of timeline and tone, it's a slightly different universe. It's actually a different paradigm and that will become clear."

This is to be Jackman's last outing as Wolverine (unless the Fat Wolverine v Deadpool movie Jackman wants, comes off) and he says the studio gave them a blank canvas.

"I said this was my last one and they said make the movie you want to make," he explained.

"And so Jim [Mangold] and I had this blank canvas and we wanted to make something really different. Definitely tonally different, I kept thinking The Wrestler, Unforgiven.

"He was thinking Unforgiven as well and The Gauntlet and these other movies which just seemed to really match his character. Early on we had the idea for the title not having anything to do with Wolverine in it but just being about the man. And what the collateral damage of being Wolverine your entire life would be."

In regards to both this news and the Terminator reboot stuff:

These people are storytellers, not necessarily chroniclers. They want to tell whatever stories they want, and if that interferes with established canon... so be it.
It's like how the Greeks and Romans have contradicting accounts of the same mythical event. Whatever makes for the better story is what they go with, regardless of what they've said on it before.

Wait....Mangold wanted to make a Wolverine movie that was disconnected from the Wolverine movie he made 3 years ago? I get not wanting to be connected to the trash that Singer and Ratner put out but not your own film.

The more I "see" of this the more I'm having a little bit of a problem imagining the general arc of the movie.

So I imagine the movie opens up with Wolverine fostering Xavier... then X-23 shows up, on the run. They have a nice dinner. Then the cars show up and robot hand man starts a fight. Then they're on the run a lot. Eventually the robot hand man and his people find them again or Wolverine turns the tables on them and metal hand man is killed. Xavier probably dies somewhere in the middle of the movie. Wolverine doesn't die at the end.

None of this sounds particularly exciting to me. You remove the quick cuts of the trailer and Johnny Cash, I'm not sure there's all that much under the hood.

Character development and tragedy. I'll be just fine with a slower character piece. Especially if it knows how to stick the last act.

Feels like Book of Eli, with mutants. Book of Eli was a slower movie.

I'm not sure I really loved Book of Eli. It had its moments but it felt very derivative and the ending felt like a poor man's Shyamalan twist.

I've a feeling that there's a good chunk of the movie we just haven't seen in the promos.

I think this movie will be the Citizen Kane of X-men films.

I'd definitely love that. That's a "squee!" from me, not "meh."
