Logan: What happened to the other mutants?

In Logan, released today on our screens, X-Men and mutants in general seem to have disappeared. But what could have happened to them?
And here it is! After months and months of waiting, teasers and trailers, all darker and enticing than each other, Logan, intense end clap for the character of Hugh Jackman , finally lands on our screens. There is, as expected, a diminished Wolverine, covered with scars, blood-injected eye and trailing leg , far from the image of invincible warrior that was his in the other X-Men movies . It must be said that life has not been tender with our hero, who alone is responsible for caring for a terribly weakened Charles Xavier. But why are Logan and Professor X alone? According to the synopsis and trailers of Logan , The X-Men and all the other mutants that populated the Earth seem to have … disappeared. It is quite simple, in 2029, Logan, Charles Xavier and Caliban (Stephen Merchant) visibly incarnate the last representatives of their species with the young Laura (Dafne Keen), aka X-23, apparently apparently a miracle. So what happened to the X-Men and all the other mutants? Why did they disappear? Melty’s essay explores for you a few hypotheses that could answer these questions.

And the first thing to do in order to find a possible explanation is to take a look at the comic ” Old Man Logan ” by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven (2008), which served as inspiration for the film Logan . In the original work, there is neither X-23 nor Charles Xavier, nor Caliban and Logan is the only mutant still alive. The wicked having managed to dominate America, our hero lives withdrew with his wife far from everything until the day when an aging Hawkeye comes to claim his help. We learn from the adventure that if the X-Men disappeared , it was because Wolverine himself … killed them . But not voluntarily, which makes the thing even more tragic. Victim of an illusion created by the super-villain Mysterio, Logan attacked his companions and the children of the school of Charles Xavier thinking to face opponents who attacked them. It was after regaining consciousness and understanding of events that he abandoned his identity as Wolverine and his role as superhero.
But that’s what happens in ” Old Man Logan ” and we can therefore expect the facts to differ in the film. It is clear that the superhero group existed at some point in the timeline of Logan, comic books telling the stories of the X-Men are being present . So, even if the film does not care too much about the different time lines introduced by the other opus of the X-Men franchise, the superhero group formed well around Charles Xavier. But it is also evident that all its members have all vanished and that their disappearance left a taste more than bitter in the mouth of Logan. It was therefore violent and sudden, and it is not entirely excluded that our mutant is responsible for it.
Given the fact that X-Men films like to play on different time lines, it is reasonable to imagine that Logan takes place in a parallel universe. A universe that would flow directly from the events told in X-Men: Days of Future Past . If Logan and the X-Men were able to prevent the creation of the Sentinels, which were tasked with tracking down and destroying the mutants, then something else might have happened so that the future Exist more – is realized anyway. And there you can think of a lot of possibilities: a genetic disease or a virus, that would have eradicated them or that would prevent the mutations from happening; The pure and simple end of evolution as perceived by Charles Xavier; Or, quite simply, human intervention. Because who tells us that Dr. Zander Rice, the villain of the film, is not responsible for this disappearance? Working for the Transigen project, set up by Essex Corporation, itself introduced in X-Men: Apocalyspse , it might have developed a way to destroy the mutants, as proposed to do William Stryker in the film X-Men 2 . In any case, mutants appear to be condemned to extinction. Unless the young Laura represents the ultimate chance for them to perpetuate themselves! In your opinion, where did the other mutants go?
