Who should Logan take on in a possible sequel to The Wolverine?
The X-Man’s solo adventure in Japan is coming out on Blu-Ray. Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold are in talks for a possible sequel. Part of the film’s success is how it took inspiration from what fans may consider THE ultimate Logan story by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.
What Wolverine story could be the perfect inspiration for a sequel?
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde limited series by Claremont and Al Milgrom. When Kitty goes to Japan in search of her father, she becomes a pawn in a game of revenge against Wolverine. Ogun is a mystical mutant martial artist master who switches bodies and controls minds who became a Yakuza enforcer. Imagine Ellen Page back as Kitty and being transformed into her ninja identity Shadowcat. Could Logan kill a demon possessed teammate to stop Ogun’s endgame?
Claremont. Japan. Yakuza. Old demons.
It worked once – add fan-favorite Kitty Pryde after X-Men: Days of Future Past and you could have an action and drama packed sequel.
While I love Logan’s great loves (Jean Grey, Mariko) there’s nothing like the mentor relationship between Wolverine and Kitty.
Kitty is currently guest starring Killable in the Wolverine solo series as Logan searches for a way to restore his mutant healing factor.
