My idea for an MCU Wolverine Solo Film

 

My idea for an MCU Wolverine Solo Film.

So, with the MCU X-Men moving forward, and it's been confirmed that Wolverine will not be in the first X-Men, likely Wolverine won't join for a long time, maybe not till the third film. Marvel should make a Wolverine Solo film series for a time until Wolverine joins the X-Men, the Avengers, or Alpha Flight. I've done Wolverine film ideas and casting before, but here is another take on introducing Wolverine in the MCU. 
Now I've talked about the first ideas for the first films were a Wolverine film set in WW1 with the Invaders team being Union Jack, Jim Hammond/The Original Human Torch, and Orson Randall/Iron Fist, Silverfox would be his love interest, and Dog and Baron Blood would serve as the villains of the film and my other idea was retelling the Weapon X storyline but getting it right this time and the next films adapt Swift and Terrible were we meet Daken and Jimmy Hudson as well Alpha Flight, and the third film adapts Romulus and Laura appears and they all kill Romulus. Now, this is another idea for the first film of a Wolverine film series. 
This Wolverine film is set in modern times and focuses on Wolverine's time with Alpha Flight. This film's villain is the Wendigo. Wolverine has fought the Wendigo before, but it has returned and seeks to destroy all of Canada. Wolverine joins Alpha Flight to take it down. Also in this, Wolverine learns that Guardian is his cousin, as he is a Hudson, as Wolverine still has no memories of his past after Weapon X. Also, the MCU Wolverine has a son named Jimmy, whom Guardian's brother adopted because Wolverine couldn't raise him and wanted him to have a better life than he did. 
So this is my story idea for the MCU Wolverine: it's basically adapting the Wendigo storyline and Wolverine's time with Alpha Flight Storylines. Basically inspired by John Byrne's comics.
Now I would call this Wolverine film The Savage Wolverine, and it would be rated R for blood, gore, F-bombs, and nudity. 
Now, as much as I love Hugh Jackman, I would recast Wolverine, and this Wolverine would wear the brown-and-tan suit. Now, if I were to recast, I've got to be honest: I would cast
Henry Cavill. I mean, I know he was only in it for fifteen seconds, but god dang, this guy would be perfect as Wolverine. Already, fans want him to play Wolverine in the MCU. I've heard they are talking with Henry Cavill about joining the MCU, and one rumor is that it's Magneto, and I can see it too. Still, Henry Cavill is who I would go with as Wolverine, but if I had to cast someone else, my other choices are Taron Egerton, Milo Gibson, Daniel Radcliffe, Scott Eastwood, or Jack O'Connell. If I had to pick a second choice, it would have to be... 

Taron Egerton as Logan Howlett/Wolverine 
Now, in this film, Wolverine does not remember his past because of the Weapon Plus program, but he focuses on a new life, and he joins Alpha Flight. However, he does want to remember his past life, and when the Wendigo attacks, it reminds him that they fought before, and Wolverine then remembers facing off against the Wendigo around the 1900s. Wolverine also learns that he and Guardian are related when Guardian shows him a photo of himself as a child, revealing that he was Hudson on his mother's side. Wolverine also has a son named Jimmy, whom he gave to Guardian's brother, Elias Hudson, and his wife. Also, in this universe, Jimmy's mother is not Magneto's wife; instead, it is Cassie Lathrop, who died giving birth to Jimmy. Wolverine defeats Wendigo but, in the end, leaves Alpha Flight, setting him up to join the X-Men. 

Robbie Amell as James Hudson/Guardian 
James Hudson, aka Guardian, is Canada's Captain America and the leader of Alpha Flight. It's later revealed that he is, in fact, Wolverine's cousin on the Hudson side. He recruits Wolverine to the team after helping him when he went feral. Another reason Guardian recruits Logan is that he finds out his nephew Jimmy is actually Wolverine's son. Wolverine isn't happy that Guardian learned this, as Logan didn't want to be involved in his son's life because he didn't want him to live the bad life he did. That's what Logan gave him to Guardian's brother so he could be a better man.  

Katherine Barrell as Heather McNeil
Heather McNeil is James's wife, an agent of Department H, and a member of Alpha Flight. She doesn't get powers yet, but she plays a big role in helping the team. She's also pregnant. 

Adam Beach as Shaman 
Michael Twoyoungmen, aka Shaman, has magical powers that connect to nature from Sarcee Heritage. He's also a doctor and a member of Alpha Flight. He has a daughter named Elizabeth who eventually becomes Talisman. Shaman also plays a key part in defeating the Wendigo, as his great-grandfather helped lock it away, and he knows the magic to heal those who are cursed. 

Cooper Koch as Northstar 
Northstar is a mutant with special energy powers, and he has a twin sister named Aurora. He's also gay and has a boyfriend named Kyle. 

Charlee Fraser as Aurora 
Aurora has the same powers as her brother, Northstar; she's a bit of a party animal with a drinking problem. She's currently dating Sasquatch. 

Jordan Prentice as Eugene Milton Judd/Puck
Puck is a mutant with rubber skin, great agility, and a slow-aging factor like Wolverine's. He's the heart of Alpha Flight, as he's one of the coolest characters on the team.

Dustin Milligan as Sasquatch 
Walter Langkowski, aka Sasquatch, is a scientist who gained his powers from gamma radiation and became Sasquatch. At first, he lost control until he was saved by Department H. He then found a way to control himself and become a superhero called Sasquatch. He's also a fan of the Hulk, and he's dating Aurora. 

Charlotte McKinney as Narya/Anne McKenize/Snowbird 
Anne McKenize, aka Narya/Snowbird, is a demigod and the daughter of the goddess of Nelvanna. She has the power to transform into an owl, a bear, a wolf, and a falcon, all of which represent Arctic animals. She is the chosen champion of the Northern gods, and a Shaman fostered her. Snowbird also has a relationship with Wolverine in this film, as they both know what it's like to live in nature. Eventually when Wolverine leaves him and Anne break up under good terms and remain friends. 

Taylor Kitsch as Elias Hudson 
Elias is James's brother and the adoptive father of Jimmy Hudson. He works as a police officer. Wolverine once saved his life during an attack by criminals. After Jimmy was born Logan gave his son to Elias and his Jill who wanted a child but couldn't have any. So they adopted Jimmy as their own son and agree not to tell Jimmy who Wolverine is.

Laura Vandervoort as Jill Hudson 
Jill is a radio host and the adoptive mother of Jimmy Hudson. She's protective of Jimmy and doesn't want him to meet his actual father. 

Sunny Suljic as Jimmy Hudson
Jimmy Hudson is the adoptive son of Elias and Jill, but the biological son of Wolverine and Cassie Lathrop. After his mother died, Wolverine gave his son to Elias to raise; he wanted his son to live a better life than he had. Jimmy grows up like any other kid until he starts developing his powers and later learns he is Wolverine's son. Wolverine asked Elias and Jill not to tell him he is his father, but to tell him his father was a good man who died in an accident along with his mother. 

Kiawentiio as Talisman 
Elizabeth Twoyoungmen is Shaman's daughter and has supernatural powers, as he does. He tries to train her daughter in her magic, and she has a close relationship with Snowbird, whom she sees as a big sister in her life. She also goes to the same school as Jimmy, and they are friends who would later become lovers. 

Emily Bett Rickards as Cassie Lathrop 
Cassie is Logan's lover and an FBI agent. The two of them were in a relationship, but later she found out she was pregnant. She died giving birth to Jimmy, and Wolverine, in the end, did what was best for their son and gave him to the Hudsons to be raised. Jimmy knows about his mom, Cassie, but doesn't know that his father is Wolverine. In this version, Cassie is Jimmy's mom instead of Magda Lensherr aka Magneto's wife in the Ultimate Universe. 

Will Arrnet as Director X
Director X is the head of Department H and forms Alpha Flight to protect Canada from dangers worldwide. 

Demore Barnes as Pierre Cloche 
Pierre Sereves as Department H Director of Foreign Affairs. He is also an activist for mutant rights and helped shut down Weapon Plus for good; although there have been assassination attempts on his life, Alpha Flight has protected him.  


Kevin Durand as Jean-Pierre Beaubier/Wendigo 
The Wendigo is the main villain of the first film, and this Wendigo is Jean-Pierre Beaubier, a man who took part in a cannibalism ritual; thus, the Wendigo curse took hold of him because of his wickedness. He fought Wolverine back in the 1900s until Wolverine had stopped him, and the Sorcerer Supreme and Northern Gods locked him away. However, he is now free and seeks to destroy all of Canada and spread the Wendigo curse. We do see it speared to a lot of people. I will tell you that Jean is one of the most evil villains of the MCU, as he has no remorse for his actions. In the end, Wolverine kills Jean once and for all and stops the curse of the Wendigo. 


Yuki Kura as Akihiro/Daken
Daken would appear in an end-credits scene as he finds where his father is and makes it his mission to kill Wolverine and avenge his mom's death.

That's my cast for the film and here are my ideas for this MCU Wolverine film.  

10. Wolverine would wear his yellow suit eventually again.
Wolverine would wear his yellow costume in a future film and join the X-Men. That's why he wears yellow: he will be an easy target for enemies. 



9. The film takes inspiration from John Byrne's Wolverine stories.
I would look at John Byrne's run on X-Men and Wolverine to get an idea of how to make this film. 


8. The film would wear his brown and yellow suit.
Wolverine would wear the brown-and-gold suit we saw in the Deadpool & Wolverine film. This will be his first costume until he gets the classic yellow-and-blue one when he joins the X-Men. 


7. Laura would appear in a future film. 
Laura, also known as X-23 or Talon, would appear in a future film as a clone of Wolverine and later become a member of the X-Men and X-Force.


6. Wolverine should be the first of solo X-Men projects.
Wolverine would be the first of many X-Men Solo Projects because they want to keep Wolverine out of the X-Men for a bit until they get to a third film. Also, Wolverine is one of the oldest characters in the MCU, and I would even include that he fought alongside Captain America in WW2, but he kept a low profile. 

5. Alpha Flight makes their big debut in this film.
Alpha Flight would make their big-screen debut in this film because, if you ask me, this team should've been introduced during Phase 4. The team is basically Canada's Avengers, and they were the first team Wolverine joined in the Marvel universe. Wolverine would bond with them, and he learns that Guardian is his cousin. In the end, he leaves the team because he prefers to be alone, but Guardian doesn't want that. In the end, he respects his decision, and so does Guardian's brother, who raised Logan's son, Jimmy. Also, I would make an Alpha Flight Spin-off movie. 

4. The Wendigo is a good first villain for Wolverine to fight.
The Wendigo would be a good first villain for Wolverine to fight, as it would be Wolverine fighting a cold-blooded monster. Also, one thing I did was that this Wendigo fought Wolverine in the past; he's back, and he wants to kill him and turn everyone into Wendigos. 

3. Jimmy Hudson would play a role in future projects.
Jimmy Hudson would play a small role in this film, and at the end he learns that Wolverine is his father. Jimmy would meet his father in the next film, his half-brother Daken, and later, Laura. We would also see him be part of Alpha Flight and the X-Men. 



2. The next film would have Cyber and Daken as the villains.
Cyber would be the bad guy in the next film along with Daken. Sabertooth will eventually appear in a Wolverine film, but I would build him up as a future villain for Wolverine to fight in a Wolverine film or in an X-Men film. Cyber has been around a long time, has a history with Wolverine, and will do anything to tear him apart. 


1. The next film adapts Swift and Terrible. Daken makes his big screen debut in the film. 
Daken would appear in the next film, and he wants to kill his father, as he blames him for the death of his mother, Itsu, and he felt abandoned by him. However, we would learn that the real person who killed Itsu was actually Romulus. Daken is one of my favorite Marvel characters, and I've been wanting to see him on the big screen for a long time. 



So that's my idea for an MCU Wolverine Solo Film.
I know I've done many of these things in the past but this is my third take on a Wolverine film.
