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.

Upon returning home with the money needed to pay his rent and keep the Hulk family at bay, Logan is met with a horrifying surprise. As a neighbour explains to him, the gang got “bored” waiting for him to return and pay up, so they decided to just kill his wife and children anyway.

For the first time in fifty years, he pops his claws and states, “The name isn’t Logan, bub…it’s Wolverine.” He then sets off to kill each and every one of them, doing so with a mixture of his claws and bombs.

While this movie being unable to use the Hulk may seem like a problem, there are really any number of other characters who could take his and this family’s place. Sabretooth seems like a decent fit, especially as you can imagine him having a lot of animalistic offspring who would make for good canon fodder for the enraged Wolverine. That moment Logan finally pops his claws in the final act would make the wait worth it and would stand out as a very memorable and powerful scene.
