10 Most Rewatchable Wolverine Movie Moments

:0:0

Throughout the character"s cinematic history, there have been many Wolverine moments that deserve to be revisited again and again. As one of the mainstays of Fox’s X-Men movies, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine earned himself a reputation as one of Marvel’s most prolific movie superheroes. Having made an appearance in almost every live-action X-Men movie, Wolverine proved himself to be the backbone of the franchise, delivering unforgettable action and touching drama in equal measure, and being hailed as one of the best every casting decisions in superhero cinema.
Across Jackman’s many appearances as Wolverine, there have been a wide selection of memorable and beloved on-screen moments. The timeline of the X-Men movies features a wealth of powerful sequences involving the character, with incredibly well-choreographed fight sequences and deep moments of emotion cementing Wolverine as one of Marvel’s most complex heroes. With that in mind, here are the 10 most rewatchable Wolverine movie moments.
10 Surviving A Nuclear Explosion The Wolverine (2013) 2013’s The Wolverine adapted one of the most beloved solo stories involving the character from the comics, with the titular mutant hero traveling to Japan to unravel the threads of his past. It sees Logan return to reconnect with an old acquaintance who wishes to relieve him of his healing factor, putting him at odds with a number of powerful figures. The Wolverine features many great sequences, but its opening scene remains one of its most rewatchable.
The Wolverine opens with Logan being held as a prisoner near Nagasaki. In the moments preceding the nuclear blast, Logan is able to save an officer by shielding him, bearing the force of the blast himself and testing the strength of his regenerative healing. The way in which the scene is realized is exceptional and visceral, and makes it one of the most memorable and rewatchable moments in Wolverine’s movie history.
9 Wolverine & Sabretooth’s Origin Montage X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) X-Men Origins: Wolverine is typically considered one of the worst of the X-Men franchise, despite the fact that it directly follows one of its most popular heroes. Wolverine’s first solo outing might not have impressed critics or audiences in a general sense, but it did have a number of great moments. One of the film’s most rewatchable and enjoyable sequences actually comes during its opening credits.
After a brief prologue, X-Men Origins: Wolverine briefly chronicles the lives of Wolverine and Sabretooth, told through a montage of wars. The pair’s healing factors affording them unique longevity makes them remarkable soldiers, and they are shown fighting alongside one another in a broad range of major conflicts since the American Civil War. Framing their journey through the lens of war in a way that carries the story from their youth to their present is both symbolic and visually engaging, and makes for one of the movie’s best scenes.
8 Wolverine Fights The Deadpool Corps Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Hugh Jackman’s unexpected return as Wolverine came in Deadpool & Wolverine, in which the character was resurrected in order to help save the MCU’s Multiverse and join Marvel’s flagship franchise. The movie features many excellent moments that showcase a side of Wolverine that had not previously been captured in live-action. What’s more, it also featured one of the best Wolverine costumes in his on-screen history.
After appearing in a live-action version of his classic yellow and blue suit, Wolverine finds himself standing alongside Deadpool preparing to face the amassed Deadpool Corps. It’s at that moment that he unveils the hood of his costume, finally completing his comic-accurate look. The subsequent fight scene features the most comic-accurate Wolverine to grace a live-action adaptation, complete with viciously bloody action and a decidedly colorful costume that hearkens back to some of his greatest comic book adventures.
7 Fighting Lady Deathstrike X2: X-Men United (2003) Considered by far the best movie of the original X-Men trilogy, X2: X-Men United explores the mystery of Wolverine’s past and explains the story behind his adamantium skeleton and claws. Discovering the Weapon X facility where he was made sees him come face to face with not only his past, but with mutant villains, too. One scene in particular shows Wolverine fighting Lady Deathstrike in the Weapon X room in which he once endured his traumatic procedure.
The scene is more than just an unforgettable action sequence and an iconic part of superhero cinema. It’s deeply symbolic, showing Wolverine fighting against another product of the process that made him, tapping into his animal instincts in order to narrowly come out on top. Wolverine’s fight with Lady Deathstrike remains one of his best ever action scenes, especially as its deeper meaning enhances it considerably.
6 Bullet Train Fight The Wolverine (2013) The Wolverine might not be the most memorable entry into the X-Men franchise, but it boasts several incredibly rewatchable scenes. The movie’s varied approach to action scenes allows it to showcase various aspects of the titular hero, exploring multiple facets of his character in the process. The Wolverine’s bullet train fight scene is an excellent example of how this can make for a massively rewatchable sequence.
The bullet train fight is subtly one of the most iconic moments in Wolverine’s movie history, as it makes use of all the characteristics that make him unique as a hero. His strength, agility, and determination are all brought to the fore in a unique and perfectly-choreographed action scene, comprising tension and brutality in a way that only the best moments in the franchise were able to do. It’s this that makes it stand out as especially worth revisiting among Wolverine’s cinematic past.
5 Logan Kills Jean X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) X-Men: The Last Stand’s reputation, even among its own franchise, is notably poor, but that isn’t to say that it doesn’t boast some moments worth revisiting. The cast of X-Men: The Last Stand might feature many mutant heroes, but Wolverine’s ending is the movie’s most emotional and powerful moment, standing out above all the rest. After Jean Grey is resurrected and controlled by the Phoenix Force, Wolverine realizes he is the only one able to resist her destructive powers long enough to kill her.
Watching Wolverine edge forward, enduring agony, only to have to kill the woman he loves is an unexpectedly powerful moment. It’s one of the few scenes in The Last Stand that is genuinely backed by raw emotion, with Jackman’s performance helping sell it as the hardest thing Wolverine has ever had to do. Even years later, it remains one of the most heartbreaking and rewatchable moments in X-Men movie history.
4 Wolverine’s Weapon X Cameo X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Wolverine’s role in the X-Men prequel movies was limited mostly to brief cameos, though his single scene in X-Men: Apocalypse is one of the most memorable and comic-accurate in the franchise. The scene in question sees the X-Men held at William Stryker’s facility, and stumbling across Weapon X. Their intervention results in him breaking free, with Logan acting on pure animal instinct in a moment lifted directly from the comics.
Everything about Wolverine’s Weapon X scene is perfect for the character. It’s brutally violent, and captures some of the fear that Wolverine inspires in his enemies, as well as illustrates roughly how the treatment affected Logan. Considering he had no real part to play in Apocalypse’s story, it’s one of the greatest Wolverine scenes of all time, as the glorified cameo’s comic-accuracy and extreme violence makes for some of the most rewatchable fan service in the entire X-Men franchise.
3 Wolverine’s Final Rampage Logan (2017) 2017’s Logan was originally intended to be Hugh Jackman’s last outing as the character, with its Old Man Logan story offering the actor a farewell to the role. The film’s final act features an aging Logan making one final use of his abilities, heading into battle to allow the young group of mutants time to escape to safety. The scene sees him rampage through the forest, attacking waves of henchmen with his characteristic tenacity.
The raw power displayed by Wolverine in the scene is unforgettable, and Jackman’s snarling performance makes it endlessly enjoyable. The heroic nature of his actions combined with the brutality of the sequence make it one of Logan’s most incredible action scenes, as well as one of the most impactful of Wolverine’s entire cinematic tenure. It’s this that makes it such a rewatchable moment, as the deeper implications of his final rampage are both poetic and heartbreaking.
2 Protecting The X-Mansion X2: X-Men United (2003) After his introduction in 2000’s X-Men, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine took a more central role in the story of X2. An early scene sees William Stryker’s forces attack the X-Mansion, attempting to capture Xavier’s young mutant students. It’s then that Wolverine leaps into action, battling Stryker’s soldiers in order to allow the children to get themselves to safety. Though it’s a somewhat unremarkable scene on the surface, its place in the hero’s story makes it an important one to revisit.
Long before he set out to save the timeline of the MCU, Wolverine was just an amnesiac mutant taken in by Charles Xavier. The X2 scene is the first time Logan was shown on-screen fully embracing his role as a protector of the innocent, risking his own life in the hopes of saving Xavier’s students. It’s a monumental moment in Logan’s hero story, making it one of the most important and rewatchable scenes in the X-Men franchise.
1 Logan’s Death Logan (2017) Even after Deadpool & Wolverine’s story effectively rewrote Logan’s ending, the film’s climax remains one of the most emotional in superhero cinema. After living for centuries, Logan’s healing factor finally runs out, and he continues fighting in order to protect Laura, the biological daughter he didn’t know he had. In a scene loaded with allegory, Logan fights his younger self – a mindless hunter labeled X-24 – and eventually meets his end.
Logan’s death is as bittersweet as they come. Seeing the hero who has endured almost every horrific injury imaginable finally embrace his own death is a powerful piece of cinema, particularly as Dafne Keen’s performance alongside Jackman is deeply emotional. Logan’s ending is one of the most famous in Wolverine’s history, and as a result, it’s also one of his most rewatchable and endlessly mesmerizing moments.
