Is Yukio expected to return in the next film? I just figured it was confirmation that there would be no true follow-up to THE WOLVERINE. One thing I liked about the film is it finally felt like it was moving the story forward, after the first three films. I liked Yukio and was hoping the two could return for another film. Setting up DAYS OF FUTURE PAST felt really tacky. It would be nice if she was his ally in the new film.
She has no solid reason to be in the new film. The ending of DOFP is set 10 years after The Wolverine in 2023, and I'm hearing leaked script rumors that Wolverine: Weapon X is set 10 years after 2023, meaning it takes place in 2033. That's 20 years lmao! I think you'll see a quick nod to The Wolverine and that's about it.
This film,
NO MATTER WHAT, has to setup X-23, her connection with Sinister and his connection with Cable. So that they can build up to
X-Force. This is Fox's final chance to do so. It will focus heavily on Logan's relationship with Laura and Xavier before going on a trip down memory lane with support characters from other movies. The only other support character I can see in his final solo film is Rogue. Now that I think more about it. I'm almost certain she'll be present in some capacity actually!
Yukio is nice. But she'd be long since doing her own thing during the time of this movie. This movie will probably be taking a father/daughter story angle. I don't know if you've played this video game called The Last of Us. But this movie could be very similar to that. The main character in that game loses his daughter, and 20 years later in a post apocalyptic future he's tasked with keeping another girl safe whom he eventually grows to care for. I can see them taking the same exact angle. Logan loses his spiritual daughter in Rogue, but gains one in Laura (X-23.) It's kinda eerie how similar the stories might end up actually. What's even funnier is that Hugh Jackman was fan casted to play the main character from The Last of Us (Joel) should they make it a movie lol
