X-Men producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: The Last Stand) has revealed that the version of Wolverine featured in X-Men: Apocalypse will be the Weapon X version.
On talking about fitting Wolverine into the movie, Kinberg said:
“We talked about a lot of different versions. There was a version where he got introduced in the middle of the movie and became this sort of drill sergeant for the kids, but that felt like it stepped on Raven’s role of becoming the leader to the kids. There were two or three different incarnations that we tried, but none of them felt quite right. As we were constructing the movie, we always imagined that they were abducted and taken [to Alkali Lake] and that Weapon X would be there and you’d see something that you’ve never really seen in these movies before which is the full on, out of control, animalistic, stripped down Wolverine.”
The last fans saw of Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past (set in 1973) was his waterlogged body being dragged up from the Potomac River by William Stryker (which turned out to be Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique in disguise).
X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27th.
