In the past weeks, there have been many speculations surrounding the last installment of the Wolverine franchise. One of the most prominent theories is that the plot of Wolverine 3 expected to be based on the Old Man Logan storyline.
While Logan/Wolverine is an iconic X-men character, the Old Man Logan may be a new aspect of the character to many, especially those who don't immediately follow the Marvel comics.
According to Marvel Comics, Old Man Logan shows the future, set in alternate universe designated as Earth-807128. Formerly Wolverine, Logan survived 50 years after the heroes of the Marvel Universe fell and is now living life of no violence with his family.
The eight-issue story it chronicles the Logan's struggle against various villains that run the lands. IN a bid to have his claws stays sheathed, he agrees to "back up" the aged Hawkeye. However, he becomes Wolverine once more and faces a tragedy which sends him in rage mode.
In an article by 411 Mania, the latest volume of the 2015 Old Man Logan was reviewed. This ongoing series continues the eight-issues mentioned above which ran through Wolverine #66-72 in June 2008 and ended in Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan in September 2009.
Old Man Logan's latest issue, # 4, is part of The Secret Wars. Basically, Wolverine jumps from realm to realm for a mission. However, while he is called old man, "Logan is clearly in his element with his invincible body versus an insatiable foe."
In a previous report, Venture Capital Post explored the idea that the final chapter of the Wolverine trilogy will feature Hugh Jackman as Old Man Logan and in berserker rage. The movie might see Sabretooth, played by Liev Schreiber, come back, and he even suggested that "Old Man Sabretooth" might be possible.
While the plot is still unconfirmed, many fans clamor for the Old Man Logan storyline. However, even if the plot will decidedly be Old Man Logan, there will also be question if it will follow the 2009 action, or feature the 2015 ongoing plot or maybe even an original movie story. In the meantime, fans can enjoy Old Man Logan in comics and know what to expect should it be the Wolverine 3 storyline.
