Predicting 20 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2017
1. Wolverine
The king is dead. Long live the king.
Even as the dust settles on Hugh Jackman's tenure as Wolverine, focus is already turning to what comes next for Marvel's favourite berserker. Tom Hardy would be a nice choice, and introducing him first in the potentially R-Rated X-Force movie might be a good way of relaunching the character.
What is clear, regardless of the specifics, is that Fox won't rest on their laurels too long and allow the hype built out of the excellent Logan to dissipate too much before they announce the character's cinematic rebirth.
Evidence?
It all comes down to logic really. Wolverine is one of Fox's strongest brands - as Logan partly proved - and while Hugh Jackman was a big part of that success (helping the franchise survive TWO poor films), there is life after him, as long as the right candidate is hired.
There is some talk from James Mangold that an X-23 movie might be the next step, but even if that were to exist, there is no way Fox wouldn't also work on bringing back their prime brand.
