10 Huge Changes Old Man Logan Needs To Be Wolverine 3

8. Add Some More Action Scenes

Logan€™s defining trait in the Old Man Logan comics is that he€™s put his claws away for good. At least, that€™s what he claims until the very end of the book, when he€™s so pissed off that he finally whips them out and doles out some violent justice. There€™s a couple of fist fights and chases along the way, but this is the main action segment of the comics series. Fox, surely, would rather have a few more slash-y battles thrown in that they could show off in the trailers. If this truly is the last Wolverine movie ever, Fox would want go out with a bang instead of a whimper. Perhaps, then, the cinematic version of elderly Logan can be reluctant about using his claws but not completely against using them in extreme circumstance. Also, Fox could beef up the flashback segments as a way to squeeze in some more action. Why did Wolverine stop fighting? What went down in his final showdown with the baddies? The audience could learn this in a series of flashbacks dotted in throughout the film, while the old Logan travels across the wilderness (in a similar way to how Deadpool cut between origin and action using non-linear editing). With a few more fights and brutal flashbacks thrown in, Fox would surely be much more on-board with the Old Man Logan story and happier to offer up a big budget and a massive marketing push. This could make it the biggest Wolverine movie to date.
