X-Men: Days Of Future Past - 10 Questions Singer Failed To Answer

3. How Did Wolverine Get His Claws?

By the end of The Wolverine - which is made canonical by the presence of Jean Grey - Wolverine's claws are back to being bone, but by Days Of Future Past, he has somehow grown the metal sheaths back. How did he manage that exactly? Then, when Wolverine wakes up in the '70s, he is naturally without his metal claws as he hasn't yet been subjected to the horrors of the Weapon X programme, and though there's no confirmation in the epilogue that he still only has bone claws, there's also no indication that he doesn't. It's very obvious that Singer has wiped Origins off the face of the cinematic landscape, given that the director chose to feature Brian Cox in Wolverine's traumatic flashbacks of the moment he got his adamantium skeleton and not Danny Huston. And since the end of the movie sees Wolverine fished out of the lake where he's been drowning for some time since Magneto trapped him there by Mystique pretending to be Stryker, it doesn't look like he's going to be heading for the Weapon X programme just yet. It wouldn't be at all surprising if the next movie to feature Wolverine puts him back into the 70s immediately following the events of the past timeline of Days Of Future Past, directly leading into Apocalypse, and sooner or later we're going to see a re-do of X-Men Origins, focusing on the Weapon X arc.
