Earlier this year we were treated to the final appearance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and the R-rated Logan was everything that fans had hoped for. Pretty soon, the movie will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in two different formats. The first will be the theatrical version, and the second will be a "noir" edition of the film...it will be a black and white version. While it was probably the best Wolverine story that we've been given hands down, there were a couple of things that were missing that fans were hoping to see, like an appearance from Sabretooth. However, new details have been revealed in the form of a deleted scene that makes reference to Logan's sometimes "evil brother."
Just a small warning...some ***SPOILERS!!!*** are coming, so if you haven't seen the movie yet, then you may want to hold off on reading this until after you watch the movie.
Still with me? Good. So...this deleted scene hasn't been officially released by 20th Century Fox, but it nevertheless somehow made it's way onto YouTube. In the scene, Logan is sleeping on a couch after reaching all of the mutant children who were trying to make it to the boarder to safety. One of the kids named Bobby shows Logan some of his X-Men action figures, one of which was Victor Creed (a.k.a. Sabretooth). When asked if he was real, or just a made up character like a lot of other things in comics, Logan replies that yeah, he was based on a real mutant.
It would have been nice for them to have left this scene in the movie, just for the simple fact that it would have brought everything and everyone full circle, in a way. Live Schreiber was asked about his early invitation to be in the movie during a recent interview, and he had this to say:
"There was an invitation early on from Hugh Jackman and [director James Mangold] and I would have loved to work on it. It was very difficult given Ray Donovan's schedule, and I think they went a different direction as well with story. I think it's a terrific movie. I'm just very proud of Hugh and the way that he handled himself with that franchise and that character. It was a great experience to be involved with one of them and to get to work with them. I had mixed emotions when I heard that he was going to retire."
Even though the scene was cut for whatever reason by director James Mangold (I'm sure he had his reasons for doing so) the movie was undoubtedly a huge success. Quick question for all of you reading this...when the movie gets released on May 23, which version are you going to watch, the theatrical version (which is in color) or the black and white version? Let me know in the comments section down below on which one you choose and why.
