Nevertheless, human greed knows no bounds. Fans are now hungry for more as they clamor for more storylines from the Logan comics to be made into movies.

Multiple comic book arcs for Logan aka Wolverine are out there, waiting to be adapted into movies that fans can then fawn over.

Consequently, a debate on X emerged with users dreaming about an Old Man Logan adaptation in the future starring Jackman.

The abovementioned comic features our beloved Hulk in a completely different avatar as he acts as the main archenemy of Logan in the story. Their rivalry is legendary in the comic book world with epic punches and even more iconic dialogue. Attack after attack, their equation bitters over time, resulting in one of the most exciting comic book arcs.

The comic book series Old Man Logan is set in Earth-807128, a world where the villains overpowered the mighty superheroes. This alternate version of Logan is strong but old. He is able to fight with all his strength even though his age has advanced, unlike the Logan we all know who does not age and keeps regenerating.

In this universe, Bruce Banner is not the mild-mannered scientist we all know and love. Rather, he is an angry and agitated man because of the gamma radiation. While he transforms into his complete Hulk avatar, Banner has relations with his cousin Jennifer Walters who is the She-Hulk to produce a number of children he later deems Hulk Gang.

Wolverine eventually goes on to fight this entire gang of inbred Hulks who possess similar powers and abilities. The entire story features immense violence and countless ways in which the green beast tortures and tries to kill Wolverine to no avail. With Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios finally made an R-rated movie, but for an Old Man Logan adaptation, they would have to go beyond the foul language and actually incorporate gory action scenes to truly do justice to the story.
