Predicting The Post-Credits Scenes Of Every Major 2017 Comic-Book Movie
6. Wolverine's Replacement (Logan)
Release Date: March 3rd
Over the Christmas period a rumour popped up online that none other than Deadpool would be making an appearance in Logan's post-credits scene, but given how unusual and tonally jarring that would be, we're safely putting that to one side.
Instead, we believe the scene will focus on the future of the X-Men universe, without Hugh Jackman. Logan will be the last time the actor straps on the claws and since he's the franchise's most popular character (besides Deadpool), Fox will be looking for a replacement, fast.
To that end, the inclusion of the female version of Wolverine, X-23 (the young girl featured in Logan's trailer), is very much a future-proofing move on the part of the studio. We don't think she'll sprout her claws fully during the course of the main feature, though; we think that'll be saved for the very last scene...
The Prediction: We see X-23 standing over Logan's grave, or Logan's corpse, or something that is meant to represent the old, now-ended Hugh Jackman era of X-Men movies. X-23 contemplates whatever's in front of her, before turning her back on it and walking away.
The camera focuses on her hands as she walks, and slowly but surely, the claws begin to pop out, and the scene cuts to black as they hit their peak. A little cheesy? Possibly. A clear message? Definitely.
