X-Men Days Of Future Past Trailer: 6 Time-Travelling Headaches Already Created

2. Old Wolverine = Young Wolverine?

Wolverine, as the previous X-Men movies have established, is ageless; Hugh Jackman, as the powers of observation have established, is also apparently ageless. Take note, future producers: this is how good casting works. Of the entire cast, it seems Logan is the only one who takes equal part in both story lines, both Future and Past. According to the trailer and the plot synopsis of the film, Xavier's plan involves sending Wolverine's mind back through time into his past self in order to encourage the alliance between Xavier and Magneto. This boils down to another question of specificity: how will this effect both Wolverines (past and future)? This film has plenty of convoluted plot details without having to throw a schizophrenic Wolverine in the mix, so one would assume that old Logan completely takes over the body of young Logan - for all intents and purposes, taking the place of his younger mind. This begs the question: what will happen after that? If they manage to correct the future, will Wolverine remain as the only person who remembers the post apocalyptic wasteland they averted, or will he revert to his younger brain once the future has been effectively reset? After the events of the film, this could leave Logan a completely different character, motivation wise. Imagine this: once X-Men: Days Of Future Past ends, Logan's future mind is stuck inside his younger body, and he has to watch people who were his peers and mentors grow up from young men and women, while he remains the same age he's always been. It's as elegant a way to shoehorn Hugh Jackman into the rebooted cast as any...
