To see the Silver Samurai fighting Wolverine would be freakin' sweet. The story line they're talking about was great. Wolverine was bad ass as a samurai. This movie could freakin' rule and like you said, get them out of the same city environments that all the other X-Men movies have taken place in. Wolverine meets The Last Samurai, WOOT!

James and Heather Hudson were just one small piece of the long history that makes Logan what he is. Choosing to replace that with someone on the roster Fox has rights to would serve the same purpose. Reverting the rights to Marvel would require a complete reboot (new actors everything), because despite the rights returning to Marvel, the existing franchise/product/scripts would still belong to Fox. Any attempt to sequel them without ALSO buying those films would be a breach of copyright. They would have to start over completely. And that brings FAR more problems than just worrying if Logan will ever fight the Hulk. I think you are putting too much value in the capacity of a crossover.

Do It right or don't do it at all. I can live with wolverine and sabertooth being brothers, but everyone knows that right before joinning the x-men there was alpha flight and all of the other experiaments that were done outside of weapon X helped to make james who he is. it means everything. gives more options and allows for use of characters, that fox does not have the rights to use, who were vital in the telling of wolverines true origin. but of course every other studio who has rights to characters has to give those back to marvel as well.

He is like a What if? comic where SpiderMan joined the Weapon X program. Totally unoriginal and uninspired. I also don’t see why people get so excited by Deadpool.

I'd rather that the franchise moves forward, and all future films are set after the events of X3. The problem with prequels is that there is no real suspense, and as far as Wolverine himself goes, there's no more backstory to cover which is essential to where he is in X1. We now know the full Weapon X story, how he lost his memory, his family story, his time in Team X, where he got his jacket...any stories in Japan are ultimately inconsequential to his future. If you're casting Jackman, put him in X-Men 4! There's no reason for the Deadpool movie not to be set after X3. Just do some flashbacks to fill in the time and show what he's been doing all these years. Through flashback's we've seen a great deal of Magneto's past. No need to cover the same ground again. Cast McKellen in another X-Men sequel! Or, if they must do a "past" story, why not be creative and implement some of the time traveling type stuff and give us an Age Of Apocalypse film that ties in with this franchise. You could do a "prequel", that half-way through becomes a sequel, when someone from the post X3 future shows up and alters the future.

Um... After the final credits, I saw Deadpool... nothing about Japan.
