Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, i-bloumy kunye ne-hardh superhero ifumene ukuthandwa okhethekileyo. Ezinye zezi hlengahlengiso ezihlekisayo azifikeleli kulindelo, kodwa uninzi lwabanye lwavela luphumelele kakhulu. Phakathi kwethamsanqa elihle ziifilimu zikaJames Hangland "Wolveverine: Ukungafi" (2013) kunye "legada" (ngo-2017), inqaku lesalathiso apho wawenza khona uHugh jackman.
Thetha malunga ne-spin-spin-off-hin, ezelwe kwi-X-23, yaqala kwangoko emva kokukhululwa kweLogan, apho i-supergurone enomtsalane yaba ngomnye wabalinganiswa abaphambili. I-Mangold yavuma ukuba usanethemba lokuthatha ifilimu malunga ne-X-23:
Ewe, andilahleki ithemba lokuthatha le phunga. Ngaba iyakwenzeka? Ukuba sithetha ngekamva elikufuphi, ke ndinamathandabuzo malunga noku.
I-X-23, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiLaura Kinny, yaqala ukuvela kwiscreen eLogan, indima yayo yenziwa nguDaphni Kin. I-X-23-I-Wolverine yeWolverine, yenziwa ukuze ibe ngumatshini wokubulala ofanelekileyo (enkosi kwi-DNA ye-logani).
