Possible Spoilers Alert<\/h1>\n

In 2000, the first X-Men<\/em> film introduced us to Wolverine<\/a>, a mutant with very little knowledge of his past. His mutant powers included a healing factor and three metal claws on each hand. In the sequel, X2<\/em>, Colonel William Stryker<\/a> hints at a shared past with Wolverine. Both of these films are set in the present day. In 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/em>, it was revealed that in the past, William Stryker recruited Wolverine as a part of Team X<\/a>. He subjected Wolverine to a painful operation that reinforced his skeleton with adamantium, a virtually indestructible metal. In 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past<\/em>, a distant-future team of X-Men<\/a> sends Wolverine’s mind back in time to the 1970’s to inhabit the body of the Wolverine of that timeline. This 1970’s version of Wolverine has bone claws – so he has yet to be subjected to Stryker’s operation that laces his skeleton with adamantium.<\/p>\n

Now, here’s where things start to get interesting. Thanks to the events of the time-traveling Wolverine, the X-Men events have been altered. For example, at the end of this movie, Stryker captures Wolverine – presumably, this is the point at which he will soon undergo the adamantium-bonding procedure. However, now that the events have been altered, at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past<\/a>, it’s revealed that Stryker has not captured Wolverine – instead, it is Mystique<\/a> posing as Stryker that has him.<\/p>\n

So, as we last saw, Wolverine has no adamantium bonded to his skeleton and the person that was going to take him and administer that process doesn’t have control of him. On April 25, 2016, a new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse<\/a> dropped and, at the 2:27 mark, it shows a clawed hand. We’re to assume that Wolverine will be in this film – which is set in the 1980’s. The claws on this hand are clearly sheathed in adamantium – so, somehow, Wolverine got the adamantium on his bones again. Although, it’s now quite possible that the adamantium<\/a> did not come from Stryker’s procedure. Simon Kinberg, the man who wrote the screenplay for X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em> and produced the film, when asked if “Wolverine will still get his adamantium claws”<\/a> said: “We don\u2019t see it because he doesn\u2019t pop his claws at the end of the movie [but like with elements of the story] perhaps how he got his claws is different<\/strong>. But he lands ultimately in the same destination<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
