The Entire Wolverine Story Finally Gets Explained

- Published: 29 November 2019
- Making sense of the X-Men timeline can be complicated, but when you focus just on Wolverine, the story gets a little easier to follow. From his bloody origin tale to his fateful final movie, here’s Wolverine’s cinematic story explained.
The first chronological glimpse we get of the boy who grows up to become Wolverine is in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where we learn that his name isn't Logan at all. It's James Howlett. Logan is actually the surname of the man who murders James' father in 1845, which causes James' mutation to activate, pushing bone claws out from between his knuckles. Enraged, James kills Logan, only to almost immediately learn that the man was actually his biological father.
Young James flees his home along with his half-brother, Victor Creed, who possesses the same mutant healing ability as James. That healing factor not only makes the boys practically impossible to kill, but also slows their aging, keeping them looking relatively youthful as they fight side by side through every major war over the next hundred years. In 2013's The Wolverine, we see that he spent some of this time in a Japanese POW camp in 1945. While he's there, James saves the life of Japanese officer Ichirō Yashida from the bombing of Nagasaki, an event which will prove important many years later.
In X-Men: First Class, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, soon to be known as Professor X and Magneto, find themselves up against Nazi mutant Sebastian Shaw and his team of superpowered henchmen. Realizing they'll need some help to bring Shaw down, the duo uses Cerebro to find new mutants and form a team of their own, so in a zippy montage set in 1962, they recruit a handful of young mutants who wind up as the, well, first class of X-Men.
Not everyone is eager to join up, though. When Erik and Charles walk into a bar, a cigar-smoking James Howlett tells them that he's not interested, using some language that insured the movie would be a hard PG-13. Keep watching the video to see the entire Wolverine story finally gets explained!

Which movie with Wolverine do you think is the best?
I didn't understand how did charles came back when jean killed him in x men last stand
anyone
That is correct
I will vote for wolverine in Days of Future Past
The one where he gets really mad after he gets really sad and then does it again.
I think you need to watch Origins again. Logan wasn't in the bar until the post credits when Charles and Erik find him there. So as much as I would like to see what else you got wrong, I am just going to stop watching.
whats that song playing in the background?
The X-Men timeline is an absolute clusterfuck. It needs to be wiped clean and restarted under proper guidance. This shit didn't make any sense.
Lol
no no, mother is the mutant!. father are normal people !!
Whatever happened to Yokio? She returned with him from Japan and just disappeared for the next what 3 movies, nothing explained?
We can all agree wolverine is just the over all beat mutan in the world
adamantium killed Logan..
:-(
Hugh Jackman and Pearce Brosnan, one Wolverine and other James Bond. They will never be the same.
there is no explanation at all that how could he joined the Allie to invade Normandy beach in 1944, but ended up in prison of Hiroshima in Japan in 1945? there is no way he could be dispatch to two totally different war zone in such a short time.
12:49 Then along come Deadpool with a syringe and sticks Logan with it bringing him back to life and simultaneously killing the parasite that was obstructing Logan's healing ability. Logan then continues to live for Hundreds of years, civilization is destroyed and Earth is a wasteland, he finally dies when he's covered in liquid Adamantium. THE END! Once can always trust Looper to rely on half-baked story telling movies and not the source on which movies are adapted on. Thanks a lot guys. Happy holidays.
When in wolverine movie his adamantium claws gets destroyed then from where he get his claws back ?
Plz give ans
Great information I haven’t been able to go the movies in a long while I’m handicap and currently living in a small town that has only limited public transportation and there time schedules are before movie times so have missed a couple of these movies so getting the time lines is great so I can go out and buy these movies. I love the Wolverines ones the best in the X-men but still like all the X-men all together and all the other marvel movies too.
this is a great plot
Logan was a shit film
Wouldve been cool to see the X-men in the Avengers
They just be making up different stuff to make movies, mane there’s no explanation
Fox ruined X-men
Somobody give me the movie list its too complicated
He didnt add in the video the part where deadpool goes to logan and is about to bring him back to life
I was kinda half expecting him to crawl out of his grave but that's because wolverine was my favorite character.
Hugh Jackman was the best possible choice to play Wolverine. No other actor could have come close to what he achieved with the role.
12:45 Top 2 saddest moments in film history and it's not 2
This is a summary not an explaination.
I liked the last movie, Logan. I hope they make another XMen movie with new chracters
I cant see another person playing as Wolverine. Hugh Jackman forever..
sabre looks like conan the barbarian
wait what?
Logan 😭😭😭😭😭
I also love van Helsing movie
First rule of Marvel: No one ever stays Dead......
@Adventures of Frank and Tina MCU is its own canonical universe, as is X-Men
@Jordyn Findlay I know StarWars has a Cannon but I dont think Marvel does or well they never have. I think it just changes at their will. That's the way it's been for years of comics lol!
@Adventures of Frank and Tina I didn't include Black Widow because her movie is set before her death. Canonically, she never came back from the dead.
Same with Tony Stark. He will be in the "what if" series. He has only returned from the dead in Avengers.
Thanos and Gamora didn't completely come back as their 2019 versions died and their 2014 selves came back.
I think the question is whether we're talking about canon or appearance in other movies/shows.
@Jordyn Findlay nope they all will be back in one form or another. I've been reading the comics for 45 years and Bucky was the only one who stayed dead but he even came back to life after 30 years! Every one some how comes back in one form or another even in the movies. In XMEN origins Wolverine, Deadpool got his head cut off then was back as Wade in the Deadpool movie. Jean Gray Killed Charles Xavier then in Logan it said he killed all of the XMen. Jean Grey was killed in the lake then came back and was killed again. Gamora died in Infinwar and came back in end game. And Black Widow is Dead but there is still a movie with Scarlet Johanson called Black Widow coming out now. Also Robert Downey Jr just signed another contract to play Tony Stark in upcoming films. And like you said Loki died twice and will return also the origin story of Cap, he was assumed Dead for 70 or so years. So in Stan Lee's World of Marvel the running theme since WW2 has been "No one stays dead in Marvel and I'm sure it will continue......people dont usually break an 80 year old tradition.
Loki (twice but arguably thrice), Gamora (technically), vision (either once or twice), every snap victim, Tony stark (Avengers, not Endgame), Thanos (technically), Bucky, Groot, The Black order (technically), Zola (technically),
Wolverine, Charles (because fuck his twin), Jean Grey, basically every 2023 DoFP mutant, cyclops, Deadpool.
I probably missed a handful too.
But all the X-Men died permanently prior to Logan
X-men Origins Wolverine is the most underrated and unjustly hated movie of all time.
Where's the scene with deadpool visited his grave?
Where's the scene with deadpool visited his grave?
Wonder if they are going to continue with her.
She may have a cameo in The New Mutants
Logan was hands down the best.
Wolverine is xmen.
Man, the continuity was so bad.
But deadpool came in and inject something on wolverine that might revive wolverine.. Anyway
I welled up with tears watching this my whole childhood flashed before my eyes. He didnt have to go as hard as he did in these movies but he did that for US.
Explained? Lol
Great job 👍🏾 putting the movies' timeline in order 😁
...final wolverine movie... wanna bet?
He was always my favorite x men and always will be
That’s one crazy ass, not thought through timeline!!! Thank you for making sense of everything.
Growning up seeing hugh Jackman play wolverine, still can't see anyone else playing wolverine.
The weird thing about days of future past is that in that time travel effects the future. In Endgame it doesn’t.
X-men movies..?
You mean, Wolverine and his bitches......?
Not looking forward to the mcu X-Men movie
