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 ?

Wolverine 3: Caliban is cold in the back on a new image!

Caliban, the mysterious mutant played by Stephen Merchant in Wolverine 3, is back on a new image. And as always, it’s cold in the back!
Logan faced Magneto and the Sentinels, traveled back in time and spent decades locked up and tortured by the demented colonel Stryker. But it would seem that he is at the end of the scroll and that his next enemies will finally overcome his incredible resilience. After all, James Mangold, the director, has tease us that Wolverine 3 would be entitled to a dark end , which seems also very appropriate for the situation since the film will mark the last appearance of Hugh Jackman in the role of mutant. Among other opponents then, Logan will have to fight Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) and his band of fierce Reavers. But there is another mutant who, however, will also stand up against him. And it is Caliban , played by Stephen Merchant, which was recently seen in X-Men: Apocalypse in the guise of Tómas Lemarquis. You know, the dubious guy who sells information to other mutants and who hired Psylocke as a bodyguard? Good, since, the character has changed head and allegiance. This did not prevent definitely not to be more formidable than ever , as the new image of him that has just been unveiled would tend to prove it.
Hat screwed on the head, goggles on the eyes, scarf around the mouth … there is no doubt, Caliban looks ready to face a sandstorm! The image, which was unveiled by Kellvin Chavez on the site Comic Book Movie, obviously reminds us of what we saw in the first trailer bleak Wolverine 3 , in which Caliban showed briefly in this appearance. And it’s not because we do not see his face that the character does not make us a little freak! It is unclear what the role of the mutant even if the comics and the movie X-Men: Apocalypse can give us some clues about it. Caliban is indeed part of the Morlocks, a group of mutants that lives in the sewers, and has a capacity that is often very useful. It is indeed able to locate the other mutants, which makes it a source of information of choice. At melty, so we said that maybe is there to help the Reavers to get their hands on the small X-23 , Logan decides to take him under his wing. We will see at the exit of the film if Caliban is also the kind to take to our hero … or if he prefers to stay away from the fight! Anyway, this very stylish image in black and white is well in the tone of the other photos of the film that have recently made their way on the canvas and tells us once again that the last adventure of Logan will be dark to wish ! In your opinion, what is the role of Caliban?
