Pretty much everyone has gone to see "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" this weekend. Even though today is not over, early reports are saying Wolverine will be bringing in a whopping $87 million dollars (in the U.S. box office, other reports say $160 million total). This gives Wolverine the second best "X-Men" opening right after X2's $102.2 million. But X2 had the advantage of a four-day holiday weekend. Comparing Wolverine to Iron Man, last year it earned $102 million in this same weekend. It looks like Wolverine did pretty well.
Now that he's shown Fox and Hollywood that he can carry his own movie (with a lot of mutant help, of course) what should the furry lil' mutant do next? I'm sure we can all agree that there will be a sequel. Yes we'd all love a Deadpool spin-off and even a Gambit one, but let's talk about Logan.
Hugh Jackman himself said he already talked to the writers and he's a big fan of Wolverine's Japanese saga. There is still room in between this movie and the first X-Men movie. His time in Japan would make a great storyline. Should they try to bring in the Romulus story? What about Daken? Maybe joining Alpha Flight? It could probably never happen, but what about his first meeting with Hulk? Should the next movie even be another X-Men prequel? Why not a story taking place after X3. Can you tell where I'm going with this? What about (say it with me...) "OLD MAN LOGAN"? Maybe that'd be better for a third Wolverine spin-off or when (shudder) Hugh Jackman starts showing his age.
What do you think? Where do you want Wolverine to go next?

"Hugh Jackman will never age. He is a god. "He is and let's hope he never does.
hahaha, wow it is so depressing thinking of Hugh getting older.... I
know this would be asking for a lot, but I think they could do a lot
with Wolverine from here. I think they are going to do the Japan story
(Silver Samurai, Lady Deathstrike, Wolverine's Samurai training)
because it is already set up
that way. I would really like to see an Alpha Flight movie without
Wolverine in it so we can get their story and so not everything is
about Wolverine. Then later down the road
throw in Wolverine in Alpha Flight. Wolverine/Romulus/Daken story would
be pretty sweet, but I am not sure what time that should occur because
I am not too familiar with it.
On another note: I really wish they would have broken up the origins movie into several. For example have one starting out with the inception of his powers and him growing up in the 1800's. They could even have the whole movie split up into his life during each of the wars. Then a second movie would be with him on the special ops team with Stryker and show some of the missions they went on, maybe throw in Omega Red for fun. I would really have liked to seen a darker side to Wolverine. As far as I know, he wasn't always the nice guy, and I would like to see him do something that people wouldn't agree with. This could be done here. This way, all the characters in origins gets a lot of screen/story time. [ I guess these could still be done, but would be kind of oddly placed]. Then the last origins movie would be based on the majority of what happened in what just came out. Then they would have more time to involve Gambit and the others.
Way down the road, it would be pretty sweet to see Wolverine vs. Hulk. Maybe around the second Avengers movie or something.
That would pretty much be my wish list.

i would love to see in japan with itsu and stuff. But i know this isnt really Wolverine related but how about an Age of Apocalypse movie. THAT WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME!
I'd like to see some of the Japanese stuff, his tragic relationship with Mariko. But I guess they just had one failed relationship, so they'd probably avoid another.
At least if God *achem* Hugh Jackman does age, then he'd play a really good Old Man Logan... when he's ready for his pension ;)
HULK VS WOLVERINE!!! Please Marvel/Fox bring the fight to the big screen I'm begging you! But Yeah Daken could work, but with Wolverine's long history they really could take him anywhere...Japan but the thing is with that is they can't use Deathstrike - (X2), Maybe Omaga Red? and what will they do with Victor? ahhhhh so many questions...So Many Answers!

It's a little early to assume an Old Man Logan film adaptation, but I would love to see his time in Japan.

The only good i could take from this movie is that ryan was good as wade wilson and i believe he can provide us a great deadpool. I dont think there should be another wolverine movie because i fear what other random mutants they will throw into wolverine's story. The more they try to make wolverine their own, the more i dont approve. They need to take a cue from watchmen, batman begins, and 300. Try and stick to the source material as much as possible!
I think the the whole WENDIGO(or "Win-dango" as kids called it here growing up) and HULK appearance could be done in any of his movies. Like, as an ending after the credits and what not, y'know what I mean?
I am a big fan of Wolverine's time in Madripoor. The whole "Patch" thing. One of those films could end with a visit from Nick Fury. Why not make Wolvie an Avenger in the movies too? It's not crazy. We're eventually going to get a huge "trilogy" of the crossover variety.
But anyway, that bar he's drinking in in the "climactic" alternate ending, that could become his. Have Jubilee show up, gotta have Jubilation. It would be great for Wolverine to get his best sidekick. Kitty Pryde would be okay, but why would she be in Madripoor?
A Deadpool movie is now just a matter of time. We're on a weekend high from the film being saved with Reynolds' performance alone. it makes sense he wasn't around that much. Much like Carrey's Riddler in Batman Forever, that would have been all anyone talked about. But maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

I would like to see the people who wrote this pile of crap movie shot. that's what should be next. or at least give me my money back. I've been following wolverine and the xmen since the 80's and liked the first 20 minutes of the film, but hated the rest. maybe the writers should have read comics when they were kids, then they wouldn't make cash grab rubbish movies. I'm going to stick to the mavel anime movies from now on. at least they did a good job on deadpool and the rest of weapon x team in the anime. screw you hollywood. screw you.

I'm happy with it ending here. The movie was like a hot chick with bad breath, bad B-O, bad Conversation, and a flatulence problem. It had it's good moments (1st 20 Minutes and Ryan Reynolds) and it had it's terrible moments (The Fire Escape????Seriously?!?!). Unless they're going to do something that's on par with The Last Samurai for his time in Japan they need not make anymore movies.
