The Wolverine 3 (Logan) trailer was chock full of mysteries. Many speculated that a mysterious new villain was going to be introduced, but at this point, everything is still shrouded in a thick veil of mystery. Here are five reasons to prove it:
Wolverine Is Attacked
In the first Logan trailer, Wolverine was attacked by someone who was multi-clawed like him in one scene. You might think it was X-23, but the second trailer showed the young mutant to have only two claws on both hands while the assailant seemed to have multiple ones.
Is Wolverine’s Attacker His Son Daken?
The only clawed mutants that known about so far have been Logan and the clone Laura Kinney aka X-23.Some fans have speculated that the attacker is none other than Wolverine’s only son Daken. The father-son duo has had a testy relationship in the comics, but is he also a part of the Logan film? With the level of regret that Logan may be feeling, it is a possibility.
More than One Clone In Logan
There is also the possibility that there are more clones made out of Logan’s DNA. The comics had depicted X-23 as being the only surviving clone of Logan’s and that was because the lab geneticist had decided to change the sex of the subject. Logan could definitely riff off that element of the story and adapt it into the film. There could be multiple clones who are not as perfect as Laura but who have been trained to kill without warning.
Other Possible Candidates
Donald Pierce and his Reavers would be the first people to come to mind. They are the only people who hate mutants enough to want to destroy them without plausible cause. Either that or other Weapon X creations are also in store for Wolverine and his company. Anyone from Ultimaton who has an indestructible body with a capacity to destroy his opponent or Fantomex, whose DNA was infected with nano-technology making him a threatening adversary.
Who Is The Real Villain?
Although the trailers have noted Donald Pierce and his Reavers as being the trouble for Logan, it is not clear if they are the real villains. Doctor Xander Rice, X-23’s creator also remains at large with Donald and his powers being under his power.
