It would had followed the Nicholas Hoult version:
In it, we find Nicholas Hoult's Hank McCoy/Beast struggling to control his mutation before heading to an Inuit village in an effort to help an old friend. The movie soon shows the hero battling hunters alongside the Wendigo, and often veers into R-Rated horror territory before shaking things up by bringing Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine (again).
With a 1990s/early 2000s setting, Beast encounters Wolverine fighting in the same cage from the first X-Men movie. In this new timeline, Hank encounters him before Rogue does, and the two team up in the final act. There are cameos galore, including from Mystique and Jean Grey, while the movie ends with the introduction of Mr. Sinister. He was set to be the entire franchise's new bad, with early plans calling for Jon Hamm to play the villain across multiple movies (such as The New Mutants).

Beautiful. And it would also explain why he turned into the Ape Form of The Last Stand/ending of DOFP. |

I've read the script. It's terrific. This could have been the "classic" Wolverine movie we always wanted.
About the CONTINUITY:
It's obviously set in the late 1980s (I say 1989), before Dark Phoenix. Raven is alive, Jubilee is a little girl. Wolverine doesn't join the X-Men at the very end, and that's consistent with Dark Phoenix. We can imagine that Quicksilver was elsewhere for undisclosed reasons.
I loved that Xavier mentioned the 1973 events and the time travel.
That's truly great.

Was this meant to come out after Logan? Kind of weird that they’d have Hugh Jackman in the movie if that’s the case.
Side note, but this thread isn’t really off-topic. This is a general Marvel board at this point.

No, late Eighties, before the events of Dark Phoenix.
If you're talking about the real world, I think that it should have been released before Logan.
