re: The Wolverine Sequel is in the Works AND Apparently Deadpool Could Follow Suit

I'm all for superhero movies, but my god, when will the Wolverine movies end? There are PLENTY of cool superheroes that don't have movies yet.

Two things on this:

I actually think Wolverine is a great character, but they aren't doing great things with him (Although, the movies are good. I liked the last one).

There are better Wolverine stories to tell, and THAT'S my problem. I don't think fatigue would be setting in if they did Old Man Logan or even Coyote Crossing.

They mucked up his Origin, and the best part of X-Men Origins:Wolverine can't really be done.

Wolverine also doesn't work well alone, see all of the side characters they have to use in the two solo outing films. He always worked best as a foil to Cyclops or PX, Kitty Pryde or Jubilee, Hulk or Beast. So if you do a Wolverine movie you need a strong character opposite him to play off of. Not a sidekick, a real character, with real goals other than to serve Wolverine.

There is an opportunity, if they want to stay in this X Universe and do more Wolverine films, to fix everything with Days of Future Past. I know Fox isn't that forward thinking, they shoot from the hip. But think about it. You could spin off the Old Man Logan storyline from this film add some current Xverse villains and heroes and have a great movie. You could redo Wolverine's Origin or give a kid (X-23).

YOU COULD BRING CYCLOPS BACK IN THE END! And then go for the Schism arc. Getting the best of both worlds. Recast Cyclops with an intense actor (Jon Bernthal, Joel Edgerton, etc.) and have one of the best stories to tell. We'd already "know" the X-Men on film, so you can jump right into the World Changing and Cyclops and Wolverine switching roles.

Of course, they won't do this. It's too good of an idea.
