8 Ways That Logan Sets Up The Future Of The X-Men Universe

6) A New Generation Of Mutants

While X-23 and Rictor appear to be the only familiar faces from the comic books, that young group of mutants is still well worth keeping an eye on.

Any number of new characters could be introduced now, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the heroes we meet in Josh Boone’s New Mutants are somehow tied to them. That will only be the case if the movie is set in the future, of course, but I fully expect X-Force to at least mention them in some way and possibly even use one or two as members of the team alongside X-23.

These kids are the future of Mutantkind, and assuming the franchise one day takes us back to the future, don’t be surprised to see them again. Of course, it’s entirely possible that X-23 will be the only one of them strong enough to survive and that could ultimately explain why she happily joins Cable’s group of mutants. Plus, she’s definitely going to want revenge on those responsible for her creation and the deaths of those she cared for.
