Emva kokususa iifilimu ezimbini zokugqibela nge-Wolverine ngenkqubo "ye-x" ye-X ", umphathi we-Mermald akazange akhe abuyele kumqondiso wakhe. Khumbula, i-Astor yaphinda yagxininisa ukuba wazinikela ngeWolveverine, eyaqinisekiswa ngokusweleka komlinganiso wakhe eLogan. Ifilimu yakhutshwa ngo-2017, ukufunyanwa kuluntu yimpumelelo enkulu. Ngoku, xa i-disney ifumene amalungelo kubantu be-X, abaphulaphuli balinde iWolverine kunye nezinye izinto eziguqukayo ziya kuqaliswa kwimozulu yefilimu. Kudliwanondlebe neComicbook, Mangold uthe:
Ndingakhwankqiswa kakhulu ukuba i-hiugh kwakhona idlale i-Wolverine. Kwinethiwekhi ihlala ithengisa amarhe, ayifihli. Xa iintloko zentloko zivela kwiindaba ezizondla, ngathi "downey retu res" okanye "i-jackman ibuyela", ke kubantu esi sisizathu esongezelelweyo sencoko. Kodwa ndiyazibuza ukuba kwakuza kwenzeka ntoni ukuba elinye la mahemuhemu ligwetyelwe? Yintoni ke? Ndifuna ukuthi andikhathali ukuba umntu unombono olungileyo. Enye into, ukuba umntu uphelile nje imali kwaye imfuneko iphakama ukususa ifilimu engenanto, eya kuzisa ithuba lokungaphambi kwalo. Olu khetho luyadanisa.
Ngaphandle kweziteyitimenti ezibukhali, i-Mangold ayikasosiya kwi-Wolverine, iya kuba ligorha lefilimu entsha okanye i-franchise, kodwa kuphela ukuba kukho iscriptore ekumgangatho ophezulu kunye noqongqonga emva kwayo. Ngokuphathelele uJackman, kukholelwa kakuhle ukuba uya kuzinikela ukuba aqiniseke, uyavuma kwakhona ukuvela kumfanekiso weWolveverine. Kuyabonakala ukuba, iMarvel Studios igxile kungcono kukhangelo lomnye umlingisi.
