X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

As CinemaBlend pointed out, in this still from The Wolverine, Logan is sporting bone claws.

Now, we’re pretty sure Magneto isn’t in The Wolverine. If McKellen has been tapped for this movie, we would all know by now, and I doubt him losing his metal ala the comics is something that would be more than a cameo anyway.

So that leaves flashback…

But why? At first I thought ‘they really need to bring in more Origin stuff?’ but then it occured to me that he’s not so much in a cave but a pit. This is probably related to the scenes where he is in that POW looking camp. Odds are this is background/setup as to why he’s in Japan and attending a funeral, probably of someone he met at this moment in time.

So I’m cool with this.

Random thought: Would it be cool if this was actually the Easter Egg, Logan trapped in a cave with bone claws and Jean comes to save him but Logan is all “you’re dead”… tantalizing… but yeah, not gonna happen.
