Logan (Wolverine III) Thread Now with Spoilers Page 12 on.

[THECLOWN KNIGHT]

It seems that they dropped the 'Old Man Logan' story-I'm really glad-

There was really no way they make justice to it without the involment of Marvel Studios-and the characters of it-

[MrJones]

I don't know who they would cast to fit the physique perfectly. Like a 5'3 jacked actor may not be that easy to find unless they went with a no name, but that would never happen, too much of a gamble. I saw some graphic of Tom Hardy as Wolverine which could be cool.

Jackie Earle Haley has the weathered look but I think they would need someone younger or else they would be looking for another actor sooner than later.

Interesting...yeah, he definitely had the look. Actually is 5'3"...just looked it up.

Yeah, Haley's a bit too old now, but he has the demeanor, voice, and size (height) to make it work. Would be worth some real consideration if he was younger.

...Tom Hardy, that'd be interesting. He comes off as more of a villain, though. ...maybe Sabretooth?

Agreed. Each solo Wolverine movie came up short in terms of that legendary status. Poor writing, coupled with limitations of PG-13, crushed a lot of fan's hopes for something great.

I'm not sure what to make of Mangold's involvement with the final film, but I'm hoping Wolvie and Jackman go out with a bang...Dark Knight Rises style!!

Yes, I think the right move here casting wise is to get someone in their mid-late 20's, which means a relative unknown, much in the same way Hugh Jackman was back in the day.

Yo.

Seriously.... watch this now. I've watched 3x already and this is how you make a trailer. Gave me chills.

Wow, that is how a trailer should be done. Having the Johnny Cash remake of the NIN song was perfect. Man, add this to my list of why next year is going to be the best comic book movie year ever.

Definitely LOVE the NIN/Cash Hurt song playing in the background. Excellent choice to set the tone of the film.

This looks promising. Has a somewhat "Leon the Professional" and "Last of Us" vibe to it.

Professor X seems to have taken on the role of Hawkeye from the Mark Millar's book.

March 3 can't get here soon enough!!!

Here is a red band trailer which is pretty much the same, just with some goon getting claws through the dome

Exactly.
