Apocalypse: The Aftermath

As Simon Kinberg and Hugh Jackman have said, the final Wolverine film will follow closely the events of X-Men: Apocalypse. For the moment, we do not know what this means precisely. But this can go in any of these two directions.

The first one, and the most obvious, is that Apocalypse will emerge victorious from his battle with the X-Men (or, at least, with the X-Men obliterated). So the setting for the apocalyptic future is provided.

But the setting can be provided by some other type of event as well. As X-Men: Days of Future Past has showed, Fox (or better yet Bryan Singer) had no problems in presenting alternate timelines. So even if Apocalypse will be defeated next year, the Old Man Logan adaptation may as well be a What If story in the Mutant Cinematic Universe.

On the next page, replacing Hawkeye.
