A script for the unmadeBeastsoloX - Menmovie bring out how Wolverine could ’ve joined the team much earlier in the new timeline . persistence throughout theX - Menfranchise has always been a frustrative field for fans , but Fox gave themselves almost complete freedom afterX - Men : Days of Future Past . The time traveling movie crossed over the original trilogy player and reference with the Modern and youngerX - Men : First Classroster and the outcome was a brand newX - Mentimeline .
The alteration come as a effect of Mystique not killing Bolivar Trask but also meant that these mutants touch Wolverine back in the 1970s . However , Wolverine does n’t detain a permanent member of the squad . He is still taken to the Weapon X quickness and briefly has a character inX - Men : Revelation , breaking out of containment .

The script forX - man : Fear the Beastwas developed by franchise editor John Ottman and his assistant Byron Burton , and it would ’ve served as a sequel / spinoff ofApocalypse . Although Hank McCoy would be the focus of the film , a significant supporting role would ’ve been given to Wolverine . In the script , he is recruited by Professor X to aid Beast on his foreign mission to overcome the film ’s villain . His opening scene is a skinny refreshment of the batting cage - equal intro he received inX - Menand results in Logan accept the mission to work with Beast . There ’s a tease that Professor X is fail to fill Wolverine in on more ( such as prior movie events ) as he goes to meet Beast .
While their squad - up is successful , Wolverine does not formally join the squad and heads back out on his own at the terminal of the celluloid instead . But , the seed for what could come is laid . With a former 1980s setting for the flick , this accelerates Wolverine ’s right introduction to the hug drug - Men by roughly 10 - 15 yr in this new timeline . It would also see him fitted in hisclassic brown and tan suit- with the masquerade . More significantly , theBeastmovie does not break canon with retiring encounters between these characters .
Professor X and Beast both officially meet Wolverine inDays of Future Past(not count Charles ' brief attempt to recruit Logan inFirst Class ) , but the Weapon X experiment on Logan made him forget this partake in chronicle . This explains how Professor X acknowledge to contact Logan specifically to help out . Meanwhile , Beast does not recognise Wolverine when they meet , but that appear to be the termination of Hank taking on a more primal form as Mega - Beast . When the main X - Men team arrive in the aftermath of the closing curtain , Wolverine spots Jean Grey and the rest of the young heroes again . Jean previously helped unlock some of Logan ’s memories when they previously match inApocalypse , and the brief meeting here teases the spark of Latinian language between them .
If this movie would ’ve happened - andrecast Wolverinewith a younger worker as proposed by Ottman - then it would ’ve had big complication on any future stories . Wolverine would now be on - call to join the fight , peradventure even being recruit by Professor X inDark Phoenixto try on and make unnecessary Jean . As a whole , it would strengthen Wolverine ’s tie to the X - Men for this new timeline . TheBeastsolo movie never hap though , leave this substitute variant of the newX - Mentimeline just up to our imaginations - but that does n’t make the idea of Wolverine unite their strength ( even on a limited basis ) any less captivating .
