Reading up about the sequel has been making my imagination run.
I was thinking maybe the movie could star off right where XMO: Wolverine ended, with Logan fleeing three mile island. He could be seen disoriented and hiding whilst the sirens and flashing police lights go past. Out of nowhere the military rush Logan with swat teams, he runs for his life, a forest chase scene. Eventually they pin Logan down and for the first time we see him genuinley scared, and like when you corner a scared animal he lashes out with incredible force. At the end of the scene the floor is littered with bodies and Logan stares at his claws in horror screaming, reminicent of the Weapon X flashback scene in X-Men 2. The sound of helicopters approaching fills the air, Gambit appears. The two stand off, both weary of eachother. Gambit explains that after the events which just transpired that it isn't safe for either of them as they're both firmly on the goverments radar. Gambit says he knows a place where they can be safe, Logan asks why he is helping him, Gambit responds with something along the lines of "I've been their prisoner before, I've seen what they're capable of and wouldn't wish that on anyone. Be thankfull that you don't remember...". Logan reluctantly agrees to go with Gambit. Gambit says "by the way, this is yours..." and throws the trusty brown leather jacket at Logan.
Logan and Gambit make their way to Japan, Logan questions Gambit about his own past and grows frustrated at how little Gambit actually knows about him. When they arrive in Japan Remy says to Logan how his friends could make use of a guy like him, and thus introduces him to Yukio. All while Logan has a daunting sense of deja vu, inside he knows that this is not his first trip to Japan.
An old man spots Logan and runs off in terror. We see him visit a slightly younger man surrounded by bodyguards, the man has three slashes across his face, the man is Shingen Yashida.
Through the course of the movie Logan would fight off a horde of ninjas, and the Silver Samurai would relentlessly pursue Logan whilst trying to win over the love of the father that resents him so.
Gambit, torn between the Yashida gang and Logan eventually betrays them both for the sake of something of value, possibly on a secret mission from the thieves guild.
At the end of the film Logan breaks into the Yashida hideout in the middle of the night to confront Shingen, instead he is confronted by Mariko, he grabs her by the throat, she mutters "Logan-san..." and strokes his face. He lets go of her and they talk, Logan explains how he remembers nothing. Mariko is ecstatic to be reunited with her long lost and forbidden love, then opens a floorboard on her bedroom floor where she has a box of momentos. We see a brief flashback of Logan working as a head muscleman for the Yashida gang, he drinks excessivley and uses brute force against whoever he's instructed to. Shingen treats him like his own son, he is introduced to Mariko and stunned by her beauty, the pair fall in love. Silver Samurai grows an intense hate for Logan, not only has he stolen his fathers love but also the love of his sister.
Through Mariko and his love for eachother Logan changes his ways, she makes him want to be a better man. Knowing that Shingen will never allow them to be together if Logan was to no longer work for him, the pair decide to run away together. Shingen learns of the plan and challenges Logan to a sword fight. Shingen bests Logan, and out of anger and frustration Logan pops his claws and slashes Shingen's face. Mariko turns her back on Logan in disgust, Logan leaves after having shamed his honour.
We return to the present with Logan and Mariko, at the bottom of the box of momentos is a black and white photo of Logan and Mariko in wedding attire reminicent of the art from the final page of the Claremont and Miller run. Logan is speechless. Before anything else is said more ninjas attack.
The finale would involve Shingen and Mariko watching on as the Silver Samurai and Logan face off. Logan doesn't want to kill the Samurai for Mariko's sake, but the Samurai attacks Logan showing no mercy. Charging his sword he furiously swimpes away, Logan blocks and evades his attacks whilst some wooden support beams are destroyed, a fire breaks out. Logan eventually cuts off Samurai's hand, he drops to his knees screaming. Shingen remarks at how his son is a constant dissapointment, and that he has no choice but to take care of Logan himself.
Shingen approaches Logan sword in hand, Logan retracts his claws and picks up Silver Samurai's sword. The pair face off whilst the building around them burns. Throughout the fight Logan is badly beaten, eventually Logan gets the upper hand and has Shingen at his mercy, instead he drops the sword. He walks to Mariko and they kiss, we hear the sound of a sword thrust, they both open their eyes and gasp. The samurai has thrusted a sword through them both. Mariko raises her hand and strokes Logan's face again, she falls and her other hand opens revealing the photograph previously mentioned. The Silver Samurai screams at his sister's body with tears in his eyes, asking how she could ever love Logan after all the shame he has brought to their family.
Logan falls to his knees, he turns his head to the Samurai baring his teeth then lets out a huge cry as he removes the sword from his stomach and throws it aside. He staggers to his feet and growls. He sprints at the Samurai, this time the Samurai is the one on the defense trying desperatley to evade Logan's attacks. Logan toys and mocks the Samurai, Shingen joins in the battle and Logan has to fight them both as the building around them crumbles. Shingen inadvertadley stabs the Samurai through the heart, the fight ends with Logan shoving his claws through Shingen's stomach and lifting him into the air.
Logan returns to Mariko's body and a flaming wooden beam falls on him. He is mere inches away from her, he reaches for her hand with the photograph in it, fire creeps closer and closer to the photograph, the corner catches alight and Logan screams "noo!" whilst desperatley reaching for it. The ceiling collapses, the screen goes black.
Startling daylight and there's a close up of Logan's eye opening. He pulls himself out of the burnt cinder and rubble, a fire crew stand there at the scene in disbelief at what they've just seen. Logan walks away, collapses into an alley with grief. He pauses for a second, then looks at his dogtags. He runs his finger over the word 'Canadian' or whatever link it has to Canada on them, clutches the dogtags and with the look of determination stands up and walks into the distance.
Logan has grown too invincible, so maybe Shingen could have a sword made of Carbonadium or something, to disable Logan's healing factor. He could of had it in preparation in case Logan ever returned.
Other mutant cameos could include Sunfire and an actual Psylocke (I reffuse to consider the purple haired chick in X3 Psylocke).
Throught the film I'd like to see Logan fighting ninja's across rooftops, and a bike chase at night through the neon draped streets.
Apologies for the very long post, my imagination got the best of me there!
