DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE: What Happened That Led To Logan "[Letting] Down His Entire World"?

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE: What Happened That Led To Logan "[Letting] Down His Entire World"?

Deadpool & Wolverine's newest trailer appears to introduce a brand new Wolverine Variant, but what did Logan do on his world that's left him in such a dire state? The answer may lie in Old Man Logan...

In Deadpool & Wolverine's latest trailer, Wade Wilson encounters a Logan Variant who "let down his entire world," according to the TVA. 

This isn't Logan's version of the hero, though we suppose it's possible when the movie was set in 2029. However, as compelling a theory as that may be, it also wouldn't make a ton of sense when Professor X's inadvertent massacre of the X-Men took place in 2028!

A major retcon would be required to make it so another tragedy befell the clawed mutant before the events of Logan (which, you know, he never mentioned), leaving us to believe Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy's repeated claims that they're leaving it well alone are true. 

With that in mind, what did Wolverine do? 

Until we get further context, it's tricky to definitively answer that question; for example, while the Merc with the Mouth believes this Wolverine is a member of the X-Men, what if he never joined the team in his reality? Again, we don't believe that's the case as the fact something traumatic happened seems to be the basis of why this Variant is the way he is. 

He doesn't consider himself a hero and seems to be hated by the general public if the reception he gets in that bar is any indication. That could just be because he's a mutant, of course. 

There's even a sequence in the trailer which, if recent rumours are to be believed, sees him forced to relive the death of his fellow X-Men. How did they die? Well, Cassandra Nova being responsible would be a neat way to tie things together; either she orchestrated an attack similar to the one of Genosha in X-Men '97 (which was the case in the comics) or perhaps we need to look at Old Man Logan for clues.

Deadpool & Wolverine is already taking some cues from Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's comic with the giant remains of Ant-Man and we'd be shocked if the movie doesn't feature something like this...

Fooled by Mysterio into believing he was slicing his way through a group of supervillains after they conquered America, Wolverine inadvertently kills his fellow X-Men. In the case of Deadpool & Wolverine, we'd put money on Nova being behind that, even if Logan didn't know it before now. 

Either way, the X-Men are dead, and while that might limit the number of cameos we see, not only does this give Wolvie the chance to find redemption by saving Deadpool's friends, but it allows Hugh Jackman to take the character to new places (Logan similarities aside). 

With no reason to return to his world, this might also be exactly the Wolverine that Marvel Studios needs for Earth-616 ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars...

Probably read some of Josh's articles and needed the world to be saved from other reading it.

Refused to kill Jean when she became Dark Phoenix was my guess [or hope].

@Doomsday8888 - That would be outstanding, though I don't think Famke Jensen is in it.

@Doomsday8888 - the only thing that would make any sense. Cuz Logan certainly doesn't get close enough to Jean, Charles or Erik.

I’m curious about what happened too, I’m guessing something on the lines of him being completely negligent, dysfunctional, complacent and somehow that leads to the death of the entire team, thus plunging his world into despair. Paradox says Logan let down his entire world, I’m guessing in that universe the X-men are basically the equivalent of the avengers. They are the world’s superheroes, worshipped and idolised by the public. Somehow Wolverine’s actions compromise an important mission and the consequences prove to be fatal. It would be awesome if Mysterio is the cause behind Logan’s failure just like the source material.

Very intrigued by this take on The character..

I don’t think this is the Fox version at all and just another variant that happens to look like Jackman.

I have a feeling an incursion of some kind happened , Wolverine and the other X-Men weren’t able to stop it and since he’s the only one alive seemingly then he takes the blame aswell…

It would just be a nice way to tie into the Secret Wars of it all!!.

Also instead of [frick]ing rumor upon rumor , how about we post something like this which is acclaimed comic writer Gail Simone’s thoughts on Deadpool…

It’s a very interesting read and personally i agree with her.

The heart that these movies have is what makes this version engaging imo.

Maybe he’s the Logan from X-men: Dark Phoenix or even X-men apocalypse. Those are two different universes (though I guess similar) where it looks like Logan never joined the X-men.
TheMetaMan
TheMetaMan - 4/23/2024, 12:49 PM
@TiberiousOmega - But if he never joined the X-men then where did he get the yellow suit from? Plus Wade says - “You were an X-man, you were THE X-man.
TiberiousOmega
TiberiousOmega - 4/23/2024, 1:15 PM
@TheMetaMan - Great point. Maybe in Wades universe he was a great x-man. But the one he was pulled from he never joined. Deadpool could have taken that suit from a different Logan. Sadly or happily, with the multiverse, anything is possible. There really can’t be a wrong answer. And the correct answer is what works best for the writers of the movie.

Paradox says this Logan let down his entire world, I’m guessing in that universe the X-men are basically the equivalent of the Avengers hence the yellow suit.

It would be awesome if Mysterio is the cause behind Logan’s failure just like the source material.

I find it hard to believe Logan ever gets close to Jean Grey, Charles, Erik. I find it hard to believe indeed. Even in their sleep.

How about we wait and actually watch the movie to learn about it instead of posting theory’s and rumors? 🤷‍♂️

After watching that trailer I’m convinced Wolverine has one more adventure in Secret Wars and then that’s it for Hugh and the new MCU Wolverine will take over whoever that is.

@Order66 - I was telling my wife while watching the trailer, "I'd be funny to see this movie leave off with a cliffhanger to make way for a sequel(s?) just to fit it all in, they could even use Wolvie's claws to count them off." "It is the last movie with Jackman...just stretched out thru a sequle or trilogy, lol." Like the lateset Spider-verse movies for example

BTW, maybe someone already posted this, but upon rewatching the trailer for the umpteenth time, suddenly the significance of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” hit me: Madonna is Mary the mother of Jesus and DP is (hopefully) the Marvel Jesus who, like a prayer, will show up to save the MCU. Very clever Marvel, very clever.

My theory is this movie will directly tie into Xmen 97, in the comics Casandra Nova sent the sentinels to genosa to destroy it, that is what is currently happening in the series, she might be jumping to different Xmen universes wiping them out since her brother Xavier has pretty much died or is thought to be dead in 3 different universes X men Movie verse, Xavier in Dr. Strange, and 97 universe.
