Logan: What connections to other X-Men movies?

While Logan may be in his own time line, he does refer to other X-Men films. So what are his most important connections with them?
True, the last solo adventures of Wolverine are probably taking place in another parallel universe and a time line of those explored in the other X-Men movies . So much so that the mutants have almost all disappeared in Logan , under very mysterious circumstances. This does not mean that they did not exist … nor that the film by James Mangold does not establish bridges and connections with the other franchise feature films . You just need to look carefully to find them. Some obviously are as visible as the nose in the middle of the figure. Others, on the other hand, Are a little more subtle and then we have to pay attention to the smallest details distilled and evoked in the recent X-Men movies. And especially, the last one, X-Men: Apocalypse , which has the means to answer a few questions that arise. As a result, melty’s editorial team has looked at the subject to unveil the connections that link Logan to the rest of the franchise. And we prefer to warn you, it implies necessarily to reveal some (small) spoilers!
Logan is more than obviously linked to the other X-Men movies thanks to two characters: Charles Xavier and Caliban . No need to present the first, embodied by Patrick Stewart, of which Logan marks the last participation in the license X-Men . The second, on the other hand, is a little more mysterious. Chief of the Morlocks, a tribe living in the Manhattan sewers, Caliban can track the other mutants. The first time he made his live appearance in cinema, it was in X-Men: Apocalypse , where he appeared as Tomas Lemarquis and posed as a mercenary, selling his information to the highest bidder. But, in his defense, he still refused to help Apocalypse despite his arguments … convincing. In Logan , on the other hand, Caliban, this time interpreted by Stephen Merchant, is one of the last mutants in existence – which leads us to wonder how he survived when all the others have disappeared. But it’s always his capabilities that interest Transigen, who wants to get his hands on Laura.
And finally, there is Charles Xavier, an angry and almost out of control Charles Xavier in Logan , who no longer has a school to run and no children to pass on his knowledge to. No wonder it seems to be at the end of the roll! The relationship between Professor X and Wolverine seems reversed, this time, the last taking obvious care of the first when it was always the opposite. Charles also recalls in one of the trailers of the film the way he welcomed Logan with open arms when this one still lived only by illegal fighting. Enough to bring back the best memories of the first X-Men movie! In any case, we can expect these two to give us information about what happened to the X-Men and the other mutants. The X-Men, who have since become the heroes of their own comic books and who make you dream, you do not doubt, kids of all ages. How meta !
But besides Charles and Caliban, Logan makes more subtle connections with the rest of the franchise, notably through Laura, the little X-23 that looks so much like Wolverine. Because, as we suspected, the girl has a link with the post-generic scene of X-Men: Apocalypse . Remember, a man belonging to the mysterious organization Essex Corp. seized a blood sample labeled ” Weapon X ” and placed it in a briefcase. However, Transigen, the scientific project that led to the creation of Laura and who is also called ” Alkali Transigen ” (yes as in ” Alkali Lake “, the military complex where Strycker’s experiments took place) Is actually headed by Essex Corp. And the famous ” Weapon X ” being none other than Logan, all this history of sample and stolen DNA must naturally resurface! What let us think that Wolverine and X-23 are intimately linked, as in the comics. So if Logan’s timeline, as Hugh Jackman taught , does not take too much account of the events that took place in the X-Men movies , he can not help but draw some parallels with them. As for the Easter Eggs, these small references that only the fans are able to spot, they are also numerous. So keep your eyes open if you’re going to see the movie! What do you think ?
