Wolverine 3 to follow Old Man Logan storyline

With Wolverine 3 set to be Hugh Jackman’s last foray as the mutton-chopped superhero, it sounds like he’s going to go out with a bang. In addition to possibly receiving an R-rating, Den of Geek reports the film will follow a storyline fans have been begging to see on the big screen: Old Man Logan.

According to the report, Fox has been planning to adapt the Old Man Logan storyline for a while and was aiming for an R rating long before Deadpool was released. With the immense success of Deadpool, however, it sounds like the box office response just further cemented the studio’s decision to feature more mature content.

Old Man Logan began in 2008, running through Wolverine #66-72 and ended inWolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan in 2009. In the comics, Logan refuses to revert to his “Wolverine” persona because of an incident that occurred at the X-Mansion. However, over the course of the story, he finally does unleash his claws, going into a berserker rage, which allows an animal instinct to take over.

The comic book story is very violent and features murders, decapitations and more. Basically, it could make the violence we saw in Deadpool appear tame by comparison. Wolverine has always been portrayed as someone with a strict moral code onscreen, but it will be great to see him a little more unhinged.

Given what occurs in the comics, it’s unclear how Fox will make the storyline happen, especially since many of the characters can’t be used. Chances are it’ll match the story in tone, rather than a beat for beat re-creation. Either way, expect Wolverine 3 to be quite violent.

Holy shyt we are in a golden age people. WHAT A TIME

Lol. Uhhhhhh they can use approximately nobody from the story though. Hawkeye, Hulks, Mysterio, Doom, Red Skull.....

They can use none of them. They will literally have to change the whole story. Why....why even say you're using that idea if you can't use any of the characters...?

Edit: Actually I guess they could use Doom, but they've already ruined 2 iterations of him on film. Lol whatever

If they're being smart (and serving up grade A fanfare a la Deadpool), Fox and Marvel will let this dream go off without a hitch

Yeah don't see Disney telling Fox anything other than go fukk yourself. Why would they let Fox profit off of using brehs like Hulk and Hawkeye? These characters are Marvel and Sony too. This shyt is bound to be absolutely nothing like Old Man Logan if it does happen.

The Wolverine movies have been trash anyways. No doubt this will be another shytty cash in on the Wolverine name.

 

[Monoblock]

Nice move Fox....don't fukk this up. I have a feeling they will though. Just duplicate the damn comic it can't be much simpler than that.

 

[Soundwave]

Wolverine Origins was shyt and The Wolverine was meh, so I'll hold my breath on this one

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

I'm all for an R-Rated Wolverine flick - Are there enough mutant characters that they could re-purpose for this though?

I could see them using The Blob in Hulk's role, maybe Cyclops as Hawkeye. There's still a bunch of gaps they're going to have to fill...

Almost all of Wolverines solo shyts would need for all the studios to come to together and play nice to make a solid film

Cant even do "Enemy of the State" without using 80% of Marvels lineup
