The 2017 film Logan was a masterpiece that gave Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine a raw, emotional, and fitting farewell. The gritty and grounded approach, inspired by Old Man Logan, showcased an aging Logan in a world where mutants were nearly extinct. It was a sendoff that left fans both heartbroken and satisfied. But now, whispers of Logan 2 have surfaced—raising the question: Could Wolverine return?
Is Logan 2 Really Happening?
At this point, Logan 2 is not officially confirmed, and considering how definitively Logan ended, a direct sequel seems unlikely. However, with the multiverse and time-travel elements introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), alternate versions of Wolverine could appear in future projects.
Hugh Jackman’s Return in Deadpool 3
The biggest Wolverine news came when Hugh Jackman confirmed he would reprise his role in Deadpool 3 (2024). This means fans will see Wolverine again, though not necessarily the same Logan from Logan. Instead, it’s expected to be a different variant from the multiverse, allowing Jackman to play the character without undoing the emotional impact of Logan.
Possible Storylines for a Logan Sequel
Even if Logan 2 as a direct follow-up isn’t happening, there are other ways the story could continue:
1. X-23’s Journey
Dafne Keen’s portrayal of Laura (X-23), Logan’s genetically engineered daughter, was a highlight of Logan. A spin-off focusing on her future, as she forges her own path, would be a natural continuation. This could explore how she carries on Logan’s legacy while dealing with her own inner struggles.
2. Prequel Featuring Young Wolverine
A Logan prequel could dive into Logan’s past, exploring his time before the X-Men, his Weapon X days, or even untold stories from his long, brutal life. This would allow for a fresh take while keeping the spirit of the original film.
3. Wolverine in the MCU
With the multiverse now a key element of the MCU, Wolverine could return in various forms. Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) could be a prime opportunity for Jackman’s Wolverine to appear again. Marvel Studios is also rumored to be working on reintroducing the X-Men, which means a new actor could take up the mantle of Logan.
Should Logan Be Left Alone?
Many fans and critics agree that Logan was the perfect ending for Jackman’s Wolverine. A direct sequel might risk diminishing its impact. However, spin-offs, prequels, or multiverse variations could allow the character to live on in new and creative ways.
For now, while Logan 2 may not be happening in a traditional sense, Wolverine’s story is far from over—especially with Jackman’s return in Deadpool 3. Whether it’s through Laura’s journey or a new take on the iconic character, Wolverine’s legacy will continue to evolve.
