8 Ways That Logan Sets Up The Future Of The X-Men Universe

Logan is now in theaters, and while the movie may mark Hugh Jackman's final turn as Wolverine, it still drops some big hints about what's to come from the X-Men Universe going forward. That's not to say it's a release packed full of Easter Eggs or major nods to possible sequels, but there's certainly quite a bit here for fans to pick up on - granted they watch closely, of course.

Alpha Flight

Once Logan and Laura reach Eden, we learn that the youngsters plan on crossing the border into Canada in order to find a safe haven. Now, it’s possible that America simply isn’t safe for them (for all we know, the government is still using Sentinels at this point in history), but I can’t help but wonder if someone is waiting for the mutants on the other side. One very likely possibility has to be Alpha Flight, the Canadian superhero group we recently learned are getting their own movie.

Chances are this one won’t reach the big screen for a very long time to come, but when it does eventually happen, it could be that the team is portrayed as a new X-Men of sorts, bringing young mutants under their wing in order to train them for future adventures. It could also reference Logan’s storied comic book history with them. Even if it doesn’t go down that route, though, there’s definitely a way for Alpha Flight to tie into Wolverine’s final adventure.
