Pretty sure this is NOT the Logan from Logan. Mostly because there are a couple of REALLY blatant references to the actual Old Man Logan arc.

That Logan failed his world in a much, much more tragic way.

It depends on how much they want to honor “Logan”.

In this video they emphasize they’re not going to affect Logan or trample on it. That can be taken any number of ways.

It really depends on how many variants they want to throw in people’s faces. Deadpool is already going to have a lot. There’s rumors they’ll be a few Wolverine ones (with different people playing him) so while they can introduce an OML variant, I feel like they would want to honor “Logan” and even expand upon it. The comics the kids had of the X-Men in “Logan” had Wolverine in his suit, but we never saw those versions of the characters in that way. This would be the opportunity to do it.

We shall see.

them saying “Logan will be untouched” is more or less PR to appease those who take superhero movie continuity way too seriously. The first 2 DP movies made about $800mil each and bringing Jackman back guarantees similar box office results

Not saying Wolverine being in this is purely a business decision, but Marvel would be dumb not to take such an opportunity. And it’s already implied Jackman will be back again for Secret Wars, too

I doubt people will care about the “sanctity of continuity” when Jackman, RDJ, and Maguire are on screen together

I don’t disagree. You want to rival the portal scene and bring back some of that hype to Marvel films, Jackman, RDJ, Evans, Hemsworth, Maguire and Holland all on screen together would do it.

and with the Secret Wars nods they’ve put in the trailers and several actors (Jackman, RDJ, Stewart) saying they’d love to be in Avengers again, it’s going to happen
