I don't get why people get so caught up on timeline stuff. The director pretty much already said to see this as a standalone film and that he made this without really caring about what came before it.
 
I wonder if there are more OMG LAST OF US posts, like everyone doesn't already notice, or more LOL WHAT IS THE TIMELINE posts, like it fucking matters

trailer is dope, x-23 is one of my favorite characters and she looks great here

this movie is for those of us who hate Singer's last two movies
 
I enjoyed The Wolverine quite a bit, probably more the DoFP truth be told, so I was always on board with another Mangold installment. That the trailers have looked so good is just icing on the cake.

I think it goes like this:
X-Men 1-3 + Origins + Wolverine + Future part of DOFP -> changed timeline Logan is in at the end of the film -> Logan

First Class -> DOFP -> Apocalypse -> ________ -> Deadpool

but then again Logan's DNA was taken in Apocalypse so who the fuck knows

I think some people make this way too complicated for themselves. There's no timeline hopping going on.

You had a bunch of X-Men movies. Then a movie (DOFP) comes along that was explicitly about changing the past to change the future. Now you have a bunch of new X-Men movies, that are all happening in that new future. Why wouldn't they be? There'd be no point to DOFP otherwise.

With the exception of First Class, because it's set in the 60s, everything pre-DOFP is gone; DOFP and onwards are all in their own new timeline.

Fox also changes course on their Marvel films every few years so what's true back then may no longer be true now, especially with rumors that they are once again shifting directions following Deadpool and Apocalypse.

I really hope this is standalone. I don't want them having a messy plot to shoehorn continuity and other pointless fanservice in a story about fatherhood.
 
Xavier's "I'm fucking 90" in the red band trailer :lol

Well it's like The Wolverine: set after everything else so it doesn't have to follow on a previous movie or set up the next one.
 
This looks like it could be really great. I felt like The Wolverine was so close to being a legit great movie (aside from being a bit bloated and falling apart somewhat at the end). Really hoping this one pulls it off.

Part of it is MCU's success, another part is that XMen movies are still a thing.

Timelines should matter.
 
Holy crap I didn't expect the girl to kick that much ass.

This looks great. Glad they showed a glimpse of the action in this trailer.

This looks like it could be the best CBM since tdk. I was honestly expecting to be disappointed by the second trailer but god damn that was dope

This is the same guy who made the last Wolverine movie that ended with a CGI samurai ripping Wolverine's adamantium claws out which was never mentioned again so I'm not shocked.

Nah, he had bone claws in DOFP. They kept that bit of continuity.

He has the bone claws in the past. In the present/future he had metal claws. So, Xavier and Magneto find him at the airport with bone claws, ??? happens, the world's gone to hell and he has metal claws...a wizard did it.

He did. Singer suggested that Magneto had reforged the adamantium claws (so, uh, Magneto applied metal to Logan's entire skeleton?) but clearly didn't think about that until after the movie was already done.
 
Fandango interview with 'Logan' director James Mangold

Fandango: How much universe building do you do in this film? Is this a torch-passing movie with the inclusion of a character like X-23? Do you feel like you're passing the Wolverine torch, so to speak, to her?

Mangold: I always feel like I'm making a one-off movie every time. My feeling is that if you can make a good film, it's naturally going to lend itself to people wanting to see sequels because it's good and the characters are rich. I really wasn't thinking about [passing the torch] – and I know the studio wasn't because they didn't even know who X-23 was when I brought it up.

We weren't thinking about merchandising or starting a new line of movies – what we were thinking about was the interesting themes in this film. What we have going for us are great cross-generational relationships between Charles and Logan; this great father-son relationship there, with a son caring for his ailing father, in this case someone with degenerate brain diseases in the world's most powerful brain. And in the case of Logan and Laura, a father-daughter relationship, with a father who's very loathed to have intimacy or an emotional connection with almost anyone. There's a lot of drama and a lot of interpersonal drama that truly drives the feature.

Fandango: What do you think Laura (Dafne Keen) brings to the table that maybe we haven't seen yet in a movie like this? First of all, do you call her X-23?

Mangold: We're avoiding calling her that right now for reasons I can't explain other than I think they're trying to keep that from breaking, but I don't give a s**t. The reality is, yes, we call her everything you would call her, although no one is going to refer to a child as a letter and two numbers very often.

Fandango: And what do you like about her? What does she bring to the film?

Mangold: I think the relationship she has with Hugh [Jackman] is dynamic. So many of the times when we see characters or "superheroes" young, we meet them at 15 or 18, as attractive young adults. Kinda the CW version of these characters. I was not into going there. I wanted, if you will, the Paper Moon version of the father-daughter relationship. I wanted to know what it was like to be 11 years old with adamantium claws. What is it to be raised kind of like a pitbull in a cage, and then to finally find yourself out in the world? Also, for Logan, seeing her and seeing a reflection of his own lack of impulse control and rage, and his own level of violence.

It's a great interview, I'm even more hyped for this now.
 
Also I love the comic book existing in their films. Always found it a missed opportunity to not see stuff like that in the other movies. Goes a long way to world building, like they had a big impact on their culture around them and became mythologized (as superheroes naturally would of course)

I hope there's a scene where he looks at the classic costume and says "I never wore that goofy shit" lol :D

How I'm remembering it:

The Wolverine: Claws are stripped.
Post credits of The Wolverine: Claws still stripped, Mags & X are like "we need you."
DOFP: They send him back in time, pre-Weapon X. Bone Claws still
DOFP: Weapon X finds him
Apocalypse: Weapon X has grafted adamantium back on him. He funny runs into a forest after sniffing Sansa Stark.

Did he have metal claws pre-time travel (first 10 min) of DOFP? I guess that could be the part that's fucking me up. I don't remember if he did or not.

edit: Guess he did, if Singer's like "Oh, a Magneto did it."
 
I don't understand what it is that makes this trailer great. I just don't see it.
The first one had the feels...but the action in this one kills it for me. It all looks so generic to me.

Really hoping for the best here.

I admit that my movie memory for these sorts of films is not always the best, but did The Wolverine actually remove the adamantium from the rest of his skeleton? I thought it was just the claws.

Either way, Kitty Pryde magically developed plot-convenient time travel powers, so we can't act like Singer is a stickler for continuity. Compared to that, "Magneto did it" is easy to swallow.
 
This is a first for me. When did Singer say that Magneto reapplied the adamantium to the claws. Was it in an interview?

Because it's Bobby. Besides, what would going off topic to dispute it prove? And to whom?
