In the stinger of The Wolverine, Logan is through an airport with an ad for Trask Industries the creators of the Sentinels being played. Then Magneto (as we saw in X Men Last Stand the cure used on him may have been temporary) comes saying he wants Logan to join him to save mutantkind. Logan asks why should he trust him and then Professor Xavier comes rolling in back from the grave.
This is my theory on that.
In the end credits stinger for X Men the Stand it turns out when he died Professor Xavier transferred his mind to a man with no brain functions. As said by the director in the commentary the man is actually Xavier’s twin brother so when we saw him in the Wolverine we are not seeing Xavier’s body back to live but his twin brother who’s hosting Xavier’s minds.
That brings another question, why does Xavier still need a wheelchair then? My answer...........he doesn’t.
When he switched to his brother’s body I think he regained the use of legs but he is just using the wheelchair to show Logan that it’s really him and he plans to spring the fact that he can walk now to him later.
So yeah the Wolverine was not only a good film but it helps get us ready for the film based on one of the most classic and famous X Men storylines besides the Dark Phoenix Saga.
I am excited and the Sentinel designs look cool to me, and definitely different from Iron Man (I was scared that besides the head they would just look like recoloured Iron Man armours).
Also for the ones who are wondering why Trask will be different from his appearance in Last Stand: maybe they are different characters and are relatives...or maybe they just happen to have the same surname.
That is my theory.
