Old Man Logan Could Work For Wolverine 3 According To Mark Millar
With Hugh Jackman stating that Wolverine 3 will be his last film as the fan-favorite X-Man, many have wondered what the final film will be about. Many, many, fans want him to do a fan-favorite take on the character, Old Man Logan. Long story short, Logan lives in a world taken over by the Red Skull and various other villains. A key problem of bringing this story to life is the fact that the original story, made by Mark Millar, features many Marvel characters that Fox does not have the rights to. However, Millar told IGN that many not be as big a hinderance like many believe…
“They’re not important to the story. The way I worked that thing is I actually structured it as, I broke it down mechanically – I figured out going from this part of America to that part of America and what he would encounter along the way, and then I added in the adversities later. Basically Wolverine doing The Road movie is the important thing and he has a friend [a blind Hawkeye] with him. But that friend could be Cyclops and he could be blind by the fact that his ruby-quartz visor is broken and he has to keep his eyes closed the whole time and everything, but still insists on driving the car they’re crossing America with. There’s lots of stuff. Instead of the Hulk, you could have the Blob or something.
“Honestly, the continuity stuff is the most boring side of it. I kind of like it, keeping it in the X-Men universe a little, too, because comic fans are different from the mainstream world. I know this stuff backwards because I’ve lived my whole life loving this stuff, but most people don’t know all the minutia and everything so I think keeping it simplified and keeping it generally X-Men universe is a smarter thing to do.”
