And yet, the fact that this scene in which our protagonists break bread with a family that won’t be around by the end of the night proved that such a scene would have probably looked tone deaf if it threw on the pity factor linked to Jean Grey.
On one hand, the prospect of one last reference to Jean Grey finding its way into Logan would have been fitting, as the character was integral to Wolverine’s psyche in The Wolverine, as well as the entire original trilogy of X-Men films.
So having a final moment of her memory in the final journey of Logan’s life would have been extremely fitting, especially during what will eventually become a legendary dinner scene during the film.
