Rogue as the Old Man Logan companion

In the comic version of Old Man Logan, Hawkeye is the one that attracts Wolverine out of his seclusion. Since Hawkeye is an established Marvel character, Fox would have to find a way around him.

And the perfect mutant for the job is none other than Rogue, who was as downplayed in the movies just like Hawkeye. She was the character which, together with Wolverine, introduced the audiences to the X-Men Universe. This would also be her chance at redemption, so to speak, after the events of the Last Stand, in which she renounced her powers in order to be a normal human.

She is the perfect choice because her relationship with Wolverine has been a special one throughout all the X-Men movies. Seeing them reunite for Old Man Logan, as two outsiders, brings the potential for dramatic scenes like we have never seen before.

Of course, some might expect to finally see Rogue flying and having superhuman strength, just like in the comics, after she absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers. But for an adaptation of Old Man Logan, the version already depicted in the X-Men movies is more than just fine.
