The superhero live-action phase for Marvel Comics began in the true sense, with 2000’sX-Menby Bryan Singer. Adapting to life the popular group from the printed pages of comics, the flick gave a major emphasis to the character of Wolverine aka Logan because of his reigning popularity. Rather, fans were so accustomed to the clawed and amnesiac mutant that almost every subsequent movie featured him or referenced him, barring a few.
Yet, none captured the true essence and depth of a pain that began from a very early age in his life and is essentially his origin.
The upcomingDeadpool & Wolverinemovie is set to bring back Hugh Jackman in his iconic role, bringing him out of retirement. However, reports indicate that he, along with theX-Men,will rather make a full-fledged entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and even play a leading role in the heavily anticipatedAvengers: Secret Warsouting. Yet, only hints have surfaced so far as to how that would play out.
Given Marvel Studios’ newfound thirst for a better creative direction, it will be looking to set new highs for the awaited intro, and a comic-accurate origin story might just be its best bet yet.
The gut-wrenching Wolverine origin story from the comics
Fox’sX-Menuniverse left out a chunk of faithfulness to the comics by omitting key details.As perWolverine: The Origin (2001) #1comic book edition, the character is originally named James Howlett, born to wealthy Canadian farm owners, John and Elizabeth Howlett, who also hired a playmate named Rose for him. Things take a tragic turn because of their groundskeeper, Thomas Logan.
The latter was at one time fired because of violent behavior showcased by his son, Dog. One day, he returned to convince Elizabeth Howlett to get away with him. Yet, upon being caught red-handed by John, Thomas kills him. Witnessing all of this activates James’ mutation and, in self-defense, he kills the staffer but also gets to know the bitter truth that he is his illegitimate son.

Thereafter, his mother kills herself and the then 13-year-old kid flees away with Rose to a stone quarry. Moreover, his healing abilities get rid of his PTSD by kicking in amnesia. Unaware of his true self, his playmate names him Logan. Thus, the once happy child goes on to fight wars alongside the likes of Captain America before coming in contact with the Weapon X program, getting adamantium claws, and finally joining the X-Men.
Why Marvel Studios may adapt this storyline for its universe
A trailer forDeadpool & Wolverinefeatured a conversation between the two titular mutants whereRyan Reynolds’ character mentions the impending loss of his family to the one played byHugh Jackmanbefore adding,
Is that what you said when your world when to sh*t?
A gloomy camera pan then highlights Wolverine falling to his knees in deep regret. The sequence of events predicts that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is heading for a dark, somber, and morecomic-accurate adaptationof the character’s origins, which will probably adapt the James Howlett origin arc before proceeding to an, even more, grittier conclusion.
