[edit] Sequel
Hood speculated that there could be a sequel, which may be set in Japan. Such a location was the subject of Claremont and Miller's series, which was not in the first film as Jackman felt “what we need to do is establish who Logan is and find out how he became Wolverine". The inclusion of Deadpool and Gambit also leads to the possibilities of their own spin-offs.
[edit] Bloopers
- How come when Gambit escaped the Island and hid in a casino, Stryker couldn't find him but it only took Wolverine less than a day?
- Why did Agent Zero shoot the two farmers and lure Wolverine out of the barn, then blow up the barn, when he could have blown up the barn in the first place when all three were in there?
- Why couldn't the mutants that Stryker captured escape out of their cells? Emma Frost's skin can turn to diamond (which can cut through almost anything) and Scott Summers/Cyclops has his laser.
