“The world we find ourselves in when Logan begins, is a world in which all the merchandising and all the storytelling about the X-Men exists.
For instance, the first iteration of Deadpool, featured in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was heavily criticized for the Merc with a Mouth’s lips being sewn shut.
All that merchandizing exists in the movie, and I think it produces a very interesting effect, much more real world which was our goal.
Jackman has said he’ll only don the mutton chops and claws once more, in the upcoming solo movie Logan, from director James Mangold.
