SPOILERS: LOGAN Director James Mangold Revealed The Movie's Ending In THE WOLVERINE

Logan brought Hugh Jackman's tenure as Wolverine to an end, but did you realise that James Mangold revealed the movie's ending way back in 2013? Hit the jump to see exactly how that played out.

The events of X-Men: Days of Future Past essentially wiped The Wolverine from continuity, but one part remained, and that's the fact that Yukio predicted the clawed mutant's death. That may sound like a crazy fan theory, but it's one which has actually been confirmed by director James Mangold!

In that 2013 movie, Yukio, who can see the future, tells Wolverine that, "I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand." A scene like that plays out later in the movie but after one fan compared that prophecy to how the hero dies in Logan, it turns out that the director may have had Wolverine's demise on his mind four years before that was released!

In this instance, Wolverine's "heart" is his daughter X-23, and while this would normally feel like a stretch, you can't really argue with it based on the response from Mangold on social media today.

He spent 9/10 of the movie trying not to claim the girl, but whatever.

@Darkknight23 - You clearly really weren't paying attention.

Darkknight23 - 3/9/2017, 4:34 PM

@DTor91 - yeah I was. How many times did he try to leave her?

CaptainAmerica - 3/9/2017, 4:39 PM

@Darkknight23 - You clearly really weren't paying attention.

Darkknight23 - 3/9/2017, 4:41 PM

@CaptainAmerica - again. Yes I was. He would've left the girl in Texas is not for Xaviar. He wouldve left her on the side of the road if he hadn't passed out in the street.

MrPositive - 3/9/2017, 4:46 PM

@Darkknight23 - The first one was about protecting xavier, the second was grief and would of come back for her, he saved her from X-24 and in the final fight

Darkknight23 - 3/9/2017, 4:47 PM

@MrPositive - ok...

@Darkknight23 - You're either a troll or you don't really understand depth of character.
