13 Upcoming Superhero Movies That Could Beat Civil War
11. The Wolverine 3
Why It Could Beat Civil War: Most importantly, this is Hugh Jackman's final time out of the gate as Wolverine (apparently), and so James Mangold's loose adaptation of the beloved Old Man Logan comic will surely be aiming to wring every morsel of emotion, finality and awesomeness out of it.
Plus, it's a Wolverine-Xavier team-up movie, so seeing Jackman and Patrick Stewart getting some quality screen time together for the first time in quite a while should be a nostalgic treat that not even the MCU can quite compete with.
Why It Might Not: The solo Wolverine movies have had a very mixed level of quality so far, and some of this movie's casting choices (Stephen Merchant as comic relief, Boyd Holbrook as the villain) really could go either way.
If Wolverine gets an apt send-off, then it could match the emotion and pathos of Civil War, though history dictates that Logan's movies aren't nearly as well-plotted.
