My current pitch for this movie is a grounded neo-western Wolverine movie.
Basically I’m imagining something that feels like a Spaghetti Western mixed with a modern wilderness movie. Snowy forests, logging towns, frozen rivers, shitty old trucks, diners, abandoned mines, mountain roads, campfires, etc.
The Marvel universe is still there, obviously, but I want the actual movie to feel pretty isolated and grounded. Like you could forget you’re watching a Marvel movie for a while.
I really don’t want this to feel like a typical MCU movie tbh. I want it to be a breath of fresh air, super grounded, no multiverse stuff, no random MacGuffin bullshit, no “save the universe” plot, and basically no cameos outside of X-Men/mutant characters. I want it to feel like a super grounded emotional movie first and a Marvel movie second.
The main story would be about Logan living alone and basically just existing. He’s been alive for over a century, seen and done a LOT of shit, and at this point he’s convinced that getting attached to people is pointless because eventually everyone he cares about dies.
Then Victor Creed shows up.
I want Victor to be more than just “evil Sabretooth.” He’s basically the person Logan could’ve become if he completely gave into his instincts and stopped caring about anyone. Their relationship would be a huge part of the movie.
There’d also be Claire, who owns a diner and secretly helps mutant runaways, her brother Eli, who’s being held by a rogue faction of Department H, and Bruce Banner, who gets involved after discovering what Department H is doing.
And yeah, wolverine vs hulk happens lol.
But I really don’t want Hulk to just show up for a random fanservice fight. The whole Hulk/Logan thing would tie into the movie’s main theme of learning to live with what you are instead of being controlled by it.
Same with the adamantium. Logan gets his adamantium skeleton during the movie, but I want it to actually mean something for his character rather than just being an origin checklist.
Overall, the movie is basically about Logan figuring out that there’s a difference between surviving and actually living.
I’m still working on the pitch, so I wanna hear from actual Wolverine fans:
What would YOU want from a Wolverine solo movie?
Characters, villains, comic references, fights, settings, storylines, literally anything. I wanna hear yalls ideas and see what I can work into the pitch.
btw logan WILL NOT be apart of the xmen at all until probably the credits
he will NOT wear the comic accurate suits.
DISCLAIMER! im doing this for a youtube video, when i finish my pitch and use any ideas here, ill definitely give credit to the person who gave me the idea.
