00:07It really feels like the rumors surrounding a potential Logan 2 project are starting to
00:11gain more momentum than ever before.
00:13And that has a lot of Marvel fans excited.
00:16Nothing has been officially announced by Marvel Studios yet, but there has been a growing
00:21amount of discussion about the possibility of Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine once
00:25again after his hugely successful comeback in Deadpool and Wolverine.
00:30Audiences clearly still love seeing Jackman in the role, and many people are wondering
00:35if Marvel could take inspiration from one of the most famous Wolverine stories ever created
00:39and turn it into a brand new MCU event.
00:43That story is Old Man Logan.
00:45For anyone who isn't familiar with the comic, Old Man Logan is an alternate universe version
00:50of Wolverine created by writer Mark Miller and artist Steve McNiven.
00:54Logan.
00:55The story takes place in a dark future, where the villains have already won.
00:59Instead of heroes saving the world, the world is already fallen apart, and the surviving
01:04heroes are either dead, broken, or hiding from the nightmare that has taken over.
01:09What makes this storyline so interesting is that it gives readers a very different version
01:14of Wolverine.
01:15Instead of the fearless mutant warrior everyone knows, Logan is older, tired, emotionally damaged,
01:21and carrying years of regret.
01:24That emotional depth is one of the biggest reasons why so many fans would love to see
01:28Marvel adapt more of the storyline into the MCU.
01:32Of course, 2017's Logan already borrowed several elements from Old Man Logan.
01:38The movie showed an older Wolverine struggling in a harsh future while trying to protect a young
01:43mutant.
01:43It became one of the most critically acclaimed superhero movies ever made because it focused
01:49on character development and emotion rather than non-stop action.
01:53But the comic contains a bunch of storylines and characters that never made it into the
01:58movie, which means Marvel still has plenty of material available if they decide to create
02:03a true Logan 2 project.
02:06One thing that makes the timing feel perfect is the arrival of the multiverse saga.
02:10Marvel has already introduced alternate realities and different versions of heroes, so bringing
02:16an actual Old Man Logan variant into the MCU would be much easier than it would have been
02:21several years ago.
02:22After seeing Hugh Jackman return in Deadpool and Wolverine, audiences now understand that
02:28multiple Wolverine variants can exist across different universes.
02:32That opens the door for Marvel to tell a completely separate Old Man Logan story without affecting
02:37the main MCU timeline.
02:40In the comics, the future of Old Man Logan is incredibly dark.
02:44The villains eventually joined forces and managed to defeat nearly every superhero on Earth.
02:50Instead of constantly fighting one another, they decided to work together for a change, and
02:55that decision completely changed history.
02:57After their victory, America was divided into territories controlled by powerful villains.
03:03The Red Skull became president, Doctor Doom ruled his own region, Magneto controlled another
03:09area, and several other villains carved up the country for themselves.
03:13Heroes were almost completely erased from existence.
03:17Logan survived, but his life became a tragedy.
03:20He settled down with a family and tried to live peacefully.
03:23He wanted nothing to do with violence anymore because of a terrible mistake from his past.
03:28Instead of being Wolverine, he became a farmer trying to protect his wife and children in
03:34a brutal world.
03:35This is where the story becomes especially interesting for a potential MCU adaptation.
03:41Marvel would not necessarily need to copy every detail from the comics.
03:45Instead, they could take the emotional foundation of the story and adjust certain elements to
03:50fit the MCU's larger universe.
03:53That approach has worked before because Marvel often adapts the spirit of comic stories
03:58rather than recreating them page for page.
04:01One major twist could involve bringing Deadpool into the story.
04:05Since audiences loved the chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool and
04:10Wolverine, it would make a lot of sense for Marvel to find a creative way to include Deadpool
04:15in an old man Logan-inspired movie.
04:18Although Hawkeye served as Logan's traveling companion in the comic, Marvel could potentially
04:23replace that role with Deadpool or create a unique combination of both characters.
04:28Imagine an older, emotionally broken Logan being forced to travel across a devastated future
04:34alongside a surprisingly serious version of Deadpool.
04:39That contrast alone could create some fantastic storytelling opportunities.
04:43Deadpool could still provide humor, but because the stakes would be much higher, audiences
04:48might also get to see a more emotional side of the character.
04:51That balance could make the film feel unique while still respecting the darker tone that
04:56fans associate with old man Logan.
05:00Another character who could play an important role is Laura Kinney, also known as X-23.
05:05Many fans have wanted to see more of Laura ever since Logan introduced her.
05:09With Daphne Keene returning in Deadpool and Wolverine, interest in the character has only grown stronger.
05:15Because of that, a future Logan project could easily include her as a major part of the story.
05:21In fact, Laura could become one of the emotional centers of the film.
05:25Instead of simply following an aging Wolverine, the movie could explore his relationship with
05:30Laura as she continues developing into the next generation's Wolverine.
05:34That would create a powerful connection to the 2017 film, while also helping establish future
05:40mutant stories in the MCU.
05:43The comic itself contains a bunch of unforgettable moments that would be incredible to see in live-action.
05:49During his journey across America, Logan encounters dangerous creatures, powerful villains and
05:55remnants of the old superhero world.
05:57The landscape feels completely broken and unfamiliar.
06:00Every location tells a story about how badly the heroes lost.
06:05Marvel could use that concept to create one of the most visually unique projects in MCU history.
06:10Instead of the bright and colorful worlds fans often see, audiences would explore a darker
06:16future filled with ruins, forgotten legends, and terrifying reminders of past battles.
06:22Perhaps the most important element Marvel would need to adapt is the tragedy that caused Logan
06:27to abandon being Wolverine.
06:29In the comics, Logan discovers that he accidentally killed the X-Men after being manipulated by an illusion
06:35created by Mysterio.
06:37The shocking revelation destroys him emotionally and explains why he refuses to use his claws for so many years.
06:45The MCU would likely adjust this storyline because Mysterio may not fit naturally into the narrative.
06:51However, the central idea of Logan carrying unbearable guilt could remain intact.
06:57That emotional burden is what separates Old Man Logan from many other superhero stories.
07:02It is not just about fighting villains. It is about redemption,
07:06forgiveness, and finding hope after unimaginable loss.
07:10Another reason this story feels perfect for Marvel right now is because audiences have grown
07:15alongside Hugh Jackman. He first played Wolverine more than two decades ago,
07:20and viewers have watched him evolve through countless movies. Because of that history,
07:24an older Wolverine story carries much more emotional weight than it would with a younger actor.
07:29Fans are deeply invested in this version of Logan, so seeing him face one final major challenge would
07:35feel meaningful. The ending of the comic could also provide inspiration for a spectacular movie climax.
07:42After losing nearly everything, Logan finally embraces the hero he used to be. He decides that he
07:48cannot sit back and allow evil to continue ruling the world. Instead, he chooses to fight back and help
07:54rebuild what was lost. That theme would fit perfectly within the MCU. Rather than focusing entirely on
08:01darkness, Marvel could use the story to show hope returning to a broken world. Even though the future may appear
08:07hopeless at first, Logan's journey would ultimately prove that heroes still matter. That message could resonate
08:13strongly with audiences because it reflects everything Wolverine has represented throughout his long history.
08:19Perhaps the biggest reason fans are excited about the possibility of a Logan-inspired sequel is simple.
08:26It would give Hugh Jackman another opportunity to explore one of the most beloved characters
08:30in comic book history. His return in Deadpool and Wolverine prove there is still enormous demand for
08:37Wolverine stories. If Marvel decides to build on that success with an old man Logan-inspired project,
08:43they would have the chance to create something very different from a traditional superhero movie.
08:49With Hugh Jackman leading the film, Daphne Keene potentially returning as Laura, and maybe even
08:54Ryan Reynolds appearing as Deadpool, the project could become one of Marvel's most ambitious and
08:59emotional stories. Add in elements from the original comic, a darker future setting, and the possibility of
09:06seeing Wolverine attempt to rebuild hope after years of tragedy, and suddenly, a potential Logan 2 becomes
09:12incredibly exciting. For now, it remains a rumor, but it is a rumor that continues gaining attention.
09:19And if Marvel Studios is looking for a powerful Wolverine story after the multiverse saga, adapting parts
09:26of Old Man Logan might be one of the strongest options available. More than anything, it would allow Hugh
09:31Jackman to return once again while giving audiences a fresh chapter filled with emotion, action,
09:37and a whole new side of Wolverine that has only begun to be explored on the big screen.
09:42And that's that for today's video. Thanks for watching and we will see you in the next one.
