10) No More Mutants
Once we’ve met Logan, the trailer then offers up some background detail about this terrible new world. “The world is not the same as it was,” Logan explains. “Mutants… they’re gone now.”
It’s fair to say we have a lot of questions. After all, mutants were just saved from one extinction extinction event in Days of Future Past, so what’s happened to cause another? Does that mean the happy ending of that film has been removed from continuity? Are the mutants really all gone? Where the hell does this leave the already muddled timeline now?
[zergpaid]Interestingly, in the “Old Man Logan” comics it was the superhero community that had been wiped out rather than mutants. The change has obviously come about because Fox don’t have the rights to the rest of the Marvel universe, and it’s now left us with a lot of questions.
To illustrate his words, we also see Logan swigging from a bottle in a graveyard, dressed as if he has just been attending a funeral. One name on the graves can be made out – Peters. We could be wrong, but this might be a nod to X-Men star Evan Peters, who plays Quicksilver. If it is, it’s a bit of a bleak easter egg.
