Filmmaker James Mangold recently spoke with EW about why he decided to set Fox’s upcoming “The Wolverine” after the events of “X-Men: The Last Stand” in the franchise’s continuity. It was a long answer, but in the process Mangold gives some big insight regarding what to expect from the film’s story:<\/p>\n

\"Mangold<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s set after ‘X-Men 3’, but I wouldn\u2019t call it a sequel to ‘X-Men 3’. Because of some of the themes in the Claremont\/Miller saga. I felt it was really important to find Logan at a moment where he was stripped clean of his duties to the X-Men, his other allegiances, and even stripped clean of his own sense of purpose.<\/p>\n

I was fascinated with the idea of portraying Logan as a ronin \u2013 the definition of which is a samurai without a master, without a purpose. Kind of a soldier who is cut loose. War is over. What does he do? What does he face? What does he believe anymore? Who are his friends? What is his reason for being here anymore? I think those questions are especially interesting when you\u2019re dealing with a character who is essentially immortal.”<\/p>\n

What I wrote on the back of the script when I first read it was ‘Everyone I love will die’. The story I\u2019ve been telling, he enters it believing that. Therefore he\u2019s living in a kind of isolation. He gets drawn to Japan by an old friendship and then finds himself in a labyrinth of deceit, caught up in the agendas of mobsters, of wealth, and other powers we come to understand…<\/p>\n

You find Logan and his love is gone, his mentors are gone, many of his friends are gone, his own sense of purpose \u2013 what am I doing, why do I bother \u2013 and his exhaustion is high. He has lived a long time, and he\u2019s tired. He\u2019s tired of the pain.”<\/p>\n
