On March 31, 2009, the pirated version of the incomplete version of "Wolverine" leaked, with clear picture quality but no post-special effects, becoming the worst piracy case in Hollywood history.
Marvel Studios, unwilling to make a one-percent profit, launched "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" in 2008 to launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) long-term plan; in 2009, Disney acquired Marvel Studios, strengthening the recovery of the rights to the adaptation of characters in major films;
In 2009, Fox producer Lauren Schuler Downer announced the planning of "X-Men: First Battle", "Magneto 2", "Deadpool", "New Mutants", and "X-Men 4".
With the incorporation of Magneto, the second prequel to the X-Men Origins series, into the X-Men: First Battle project, Fox decided to re-engineer the X-Men film series, starting with the new prequel story of First World War. The actor changes blood and becomes younger, and the only actor who remains unchanged is "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman, who is involved in the relationship between the "prequel" series and the "canon" at different points in time like an axis.
In 2011, Uncle Wolf's cameo "X-Men: First Battle" was released; in the same year, James Mangold confirmed the direction of "Wolverine 2".
Uncle Wolf made a cameo appearance in X-Men: First Battle
In 2010, the screenplay for Wolverine 2, which was scheduled to start in March 2011, was leaked and circulated on the Internet, with the original director Darren Aronofsky stepping down; in 2011, James Mangold took over as director and re-selected the screenplay and rewritten the script at Fox's request.
<h1>"Uncle Wolf" after a soft reboot</h1>
After the successful release of "Wolverine 2" in 2013, "X-Men: Reverse Future" with the theme of "time travel" as the last "old history" movie cleverly became a double sequel to "X-Men: First Battle" and "X-Men: Battle of the Backwaters" and "Wolverine 2". Wolverine traveled back into his own body in 1973, influenced the world of 1973, and rewrote history, and since then the "X-Men" "Old History" trilogy and the continuous main plot of "Wolverine" and "Wolverine 2" have been deleted.
Look at the X-Men movie timeline from Uncle Wolf's perspective
In 2016, "X-Men: Apocalypse" completed the new historical history of the escape of "X Weapon" that more restored the comic setting for this year's "Wolverine 3: Deadly War", "Wolverine 3", as a long-awaited Wolverine movie for fans, really digs into the core of the comic, touches the dark history of the Wolverine character, and does not leave any regrets for Hugh Jackman's version of Wolverine's farewell work.
In the new history, before the "X Weapon" escapes, Xiaoqin retrieves reason and part of his memory for him, and also encounters Logan and Qin twenty years earlier.
The third Wolverine indie film, Wolverine 3: Deadly Battle, is set in 2029, six years after the end of the X-Men: Reverse Future, when the mutant race has not had a newborn for many years, and Logan has become exhausted and degraded, unable to heal quickly. In the days when the X-Men were gone, Logan was reduced to the Mexican border in anonymity, earning money as a limousine driver and taking care of the elderly "Professor X" Charles Xavier, but a mutant girl named Laura broke into Logan's life, and he had to embark on a road journey with Laura and Professor X to escape the villain organization Marauders.
Director James Mangold said: "This film has gone through the epilogue of "Reverse Future", due to the strong independence, in order to make the film not constrained by the previous films, set the time point in a more distant future. ”
