5 Reasons Death Of Wolverine Is Just A Shameless Marketing Ploy
4. Its Just An X-Men: Days Of Future Past Tie-In
There have been several major hero death stories in Marvel comic books over the years, but the Wolverine storyline seems even more surprising for Marvel given that theyre only just coming out of a death series of sorts that of Peter Parker in the main universe. Naturally though his resurrection and the re-launch of the Amazing Spider-Man line has been timed to coincide with the release of the new Spider-Man film. Of course the actual Death of Wolverine mini-series wont be out in time for the upcoming X-Men film, but the Three Months To Live lead-in series will. Marvel must be hoping that casual fans jump on-board for that series wanting to catch up prior to the Death mini-series proper; although thatll cause a jump in sales in itself. Naturally we can expect to see a film based on the upcoming storyline in the future. A potential future in Old Man Logan has been previously considered as the subject of a film adaptation, but a full main storyline death would probably make future writers reconsider which version of the future Wolverine theyll pursue in the script for the third solo Wolverine movie.
