"Wolverine 3's" plot details is rumored to be based on "Old Man Logan" by Mark Miller and Steve McNiven which features an old and seasoned Logan/Wolverine trying to survived a dystopian future ruled by Marvel's notorious villains. Miller explained the plot for "Wolverine 3" could be broken down into several steps the same they did in "Old Man Logan" comparing it into a road movie and some of the characters present in the storyline such as Hawkeye and Hulk could be replaced by Cyclops and Blob.
The film's plot could explore more of the relationship between Logan (Jackman) and Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) as that of a "father and son" bound. Jackman stated that the bound between Logan and Xavier could strengthen in the movie, as Stewart's character treated Logan like a student and guide, but he is not seen yet as a father figure to him and audiences might get to see this side of him in "Wolverine 3".
