9. Welcome To 1973
Wolverine’s arrival in the past was a lot of fun to watch. Try to remember that Logan has no memory of his past because of what happened to him as part of the Weapon X programme, so his genuine confusion and reaction upon seeing his bone claws and surroundings make for interesting viewing. One particularly nice touch was the girl who he wakes up to calling him “Jimmy”, a reference to the fact that his real name is James Howlett. As his skeleton hasn’t been bonded with adamantium in 1973, Logan would have been using his real name, but where these events take place within X-Men Origins: Wolverine isn’t clear (though Singer did hint that the movie didn’t count). The choice of song – Roberta Flack’s “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face” is also perfect.
