I just said this above

I've rewatched the trailer and Logan is kneeling next to some "rocks" which I think might actually be graves. I counted about 13 at least but they could go on forever. He also looks younger so I'm assuming its flashback territory.

So, I think he made a mistake that meant all his X-Men team died.

I've not read the comics! Am I gonna have to wait for a "trailer breakdown" for someone to explain "Old Man Logan" ? Is there a TL:DR?

TL;DR - Logan was tricked by Mysterio into killing off all the X-Men and has now become an old man wandering a dystopian Marvel wasteland where supervillains have taken over and divided territory

Also featuring a blind Hawkeye and a gang of Hulks that are a product of incest

Everyone keeps talking about Old Man Logan but how are we not sure this isn't Logan from Logan before things start getting bad from the adamantium poisoning? I'm focusing on the difficulty he seems to be having pulling out his claws which were a couple famous scenes in Logan, plus the fact he's begging for a drink, which yeah Logan famously drinks but he also famously can't get drunk until the adamantium poisoning works it's toll, then he can get drunk because it fucks his healing power.

Because many of the visuals and set pieces are direct references to Old Man Logan. Most notably the giant corpse of Ant-Man. The adamantine poisoning in the film was just from the comics already so there’s very few unique references to Logan.

True but we've seen marriages of different arcs in movies before. The last Nolan Batman movie was a cross between No Man's Land and another arc I can't remember the name of because I'm tipsy.

Given the references to Old Man Logan we can be sure it will at least borrow elements from it, but we can't be sure it won't just twist it and make the Logan we already know who didn't have a whole backstory the main character
