Of these new characters, some of them left the story barely after we’d gotten to know them, including Stephen Merchant’s creepy, melancholy mutant Caliban.
Long story short, Caliban redeems himself in a way by blowing up the van he’s kept imprisoned in, and Rice along with it.
It’s a small bit, and I can understand why it was ultimately removed, but it still makes for a good deleted scene.
Caliban crawls a few feet through the dirt towards Logan, who is cradling X-23 in his arms, and the two lock eyes before Caliban collapses to the ground.
