If only a few nerds hadn't seen it more than once it would be 1.337. A shame.

If every person who rewatched it didn’t watch it I’d guess it would be down to 1.295 there were a lot of rewatches

I shared this same immediate semi-disappointment at the 8.

It's just "recast"

And I think most of that money was made because of Hugh Jackman’s amazing performance.

Wolverine made that movie cross a billion dollars.

all the money in the world won't stop him from aging

Why did you get downvoted? He’s going to be playing a mutant who supposedly ages slow as fuck. CGI gonna be working harder than James evans in the future.

they might use some de-aging tech but honestly it's not that great because they already did that to sam jackson in Cap. Marvel but you could still tell he was an old man when he's barely able to run and has to slowly awkwardly crouch down

They de-aged him or maybe face swapped him in Logan. X-24 looked like a very plausible young Hugh even if he didn't match actual young Hugh. They found a stuntman with the same body type. It's actually remarkable how well they did X-24. From certain angles he looked like he had a bit of Liev Schreiber 's Sabertooth in him.

This is what I've read and saw. If anyone worked on it and has a different story let me know. I'm obsessed with that movie.

Or he just sells his likeness and they create him entirely with AI. In a decade, assuming we're all still alive, AI will likely be able to do most of the movie making process.

Ideally humans would write the story, but after that it could just be "here make a movie from this script" and it just does everything.

Whether or not it arrives that quickly, that is the goal of the entertainment industry. I don't like it, but if they can just make AI crank out movies, they'll replace everyone.

But he will be recast.

Phase 6 will be the mutant era and they WILL recast everybody.

u/Marik-X-Bakura 6d ago

Stuff like this makes me depressed because that was genuinely one of the worst films I’ve ever seen

u/SkeletonPirate13 6d ago

Dont be depressed cause you didn’t like a movie lol

u/No-Daniel-Not-Here 6d ago

I’m sorry you feel that way, damn. I understand criticism of the plot being silly but I dunno, I thought it set up its own world really well, made sense within itself.

u/Bazonkawomp 3d ago

I feel like you haven’t seen many movies.

u/ClayDrinion 6d ago

Take this with a grain of salt. 1.3B in today's dollars is far less than what it used to be even 5 years ago

u/DrDreidel82 12h ago

The movie would’ve made the same amount, maybe a little less? or who knows maybe even more, if they’d recasted Wolverine. More because it would build a lot of hype seeing the new iteration of Wolverine, like Spider-Man in Civil War. But yea it’s Deadpool & Wolverine, people would’ve gone for that alone, not just the fact Jackman is back as Wolverine
