Deadpool & Wolverinecould finally answer one thing aboutLogan, a film that was a loose adaptation of theOld Man Loganminiseries. In the film, we saw the sorry state of mutant-kind in the wake of the X-Men and other heroic factions, but it did beg one question: Where were the non-heroic mutant factions of the Fox-verse?
What in particular has perplexed fans is what happened to Magneto, whose faction would have made it very difficult for mutant kind to be hunted the way it was in the film.Deadpool & Wolverinemight be able to give us some answers with regards to this, given that the film might be jumping timelines and universes. It would finally be able to explain what exactly happened to Magneto and his faction of pro-mutant fighters.
Deadpool & Wolverinecould restore Magneto’s supervillain status
InLogan, we see that Professor X is still very much alive, albeit severely ailing. This could suggest that an aged Magneto could have survived, and was in some sort of hiding. However, given thatRyan Reynolds‘Deadpool & Wolverinemight beHugh Jackman‘s last run as Wolverine, introducing Magneto in the story would give the character a farewell right out of the comics, one where Wolverine was encased in the metal of his own skeleton by Magneto.
Magneto’s Most Iconic Feature Was Created After X-Men Director Was Dumbfounded by 1 Compelling Argument Regarding Professor X’s Powers
In the comic book run ofOld Man Logan, Magneto completely embraces his mutant supremacist agenda, before being replaced by Kingpin. This is something thatDeadpool & Wolverinecould adapt as a part of their story, hopping into a timeline where Magneto has either won or similarly carved out a piece of the nation for himself and the mutants.
Deadpool & Wolverinemight have the best iteration of mutants adapted yet
The MCU’s iteration of the mutants has a set pattern. Theytake heavy inspiration fromX-Men: The Animated Series, while fusing them with aspects of the Fox version of the characters. The two examples that we have seen so far, are that ofKelsey Grammer‘s Beast and SirPatrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier. Both of them emulated the characters that they played in the Fox-verse, although the characters also had very noticeable shades of the way they were portrayed inX-Men: The Animated Series.
If this trend is to continue for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, audiences could witness one of the best adaptations of the X-Men, given how influential both the properties were for the superhero genre as a whole. Fox’s X-Men were very important for superhero films, sowing the seeds for the genre that would eventually mature into the MCU.X-Men: The Animated Serieshas always been ranked as one of the best pieces of superhero media out there.
This trend could also extend to villains, giving us a Magneto that could beMichael Fassbendertaking cues fromX-Men: The Animated Series, which might be a sight to behold.
