10 Huge Changes Old Man Logan Needs To Be Wolverine 3
5. Recast The Hulks Role
After taking down the Red Skull, in the comics, Logan returns home to pay his landlord, who happens to be the Hulk (who has gone bad and rules a territory of the USA). Its revealed that Hulks grandchildren have killed Logans family, resulting in the Wolverine claws finally being unleashed. He kills all of Bruce Banners family, before confronting the man himself for one last epic and brutal battle. Story-wise, this is interesting stuff and again reminiscent of the western (the hero returns home to find that evil forces have wreaked havoc is a bit of a cowboy trope, after all). Fox wouldnt want to cut all this material from the film version, so theyd need to replace Hulk with a character that theyre allowed to use. Ideally, they would need to be a powerful character that Logan was once good friends with, in order to keep all of the challenge and emotion of the original text. Someone like Colossus could possibly work, although its hard to imagine either cinematic version of that character ever going bad. Blob could work as a replacement, potentially, allowing Fox to stage a better battle than that one from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That could be a fitting end to Wolverines solo franchise, if the effects and the action are strong.
