Hugh Jackman Confirms That Wolverine 3 Will Be His Last as Wolverine

Yeah, I was surprised just how different this looks from the other Wolverine and X-Men movies.
I haven't read the story , but I've read about it and it is based off of a lot of non-X-Men elements they can't use.
I was actually surprised by how much they do seem to be using.
The X-Men/Mutants being gone is adapating he superheroes being gone, with that leading Logan to give up that whole life.
We have old Xavier approaching Logan like Hawkeye does in the comics, and then we have them going on a road trip together.
It's still very different, but I wasn't expecting it to be even that close.
IMO, you can never have too much Johnny Cash.
I hear ya but he has a lot of other great songs.
It really works for this trailer. I have no clue about it being overplayed or on other trailers...perhaps it has been. But if a song fits a trailer, use it.
I remember when Cash's "Hurt" came out, and some people poo-pooed it for being a cover of another band's song. I listened to both, and his version is superior IMO. Perhaps because he was in failing health at the time, it's far more impactful. Perhaps why that's why it's used more in various media. It just works.

And let's not forget that James Mangold directed the Cash biopic Walk the Line.
I'm very skeptical about this movie. The Wolverine was a decent watch once, but I don't see myself ever revisiting it (the one time I tried, I got hopelessly bored halfway through). It too appeared to have style at first, but instead of fulfilling its promise (i.e., being set in the 70s, like the comic), it's merely modern and bland in execution. I fear a similar effect here, where the nominal aesthetic is grungy, but instead of actually committing to that (washed-out, grainy cinematography), we'll end up with a typically generic Mangold flick.
Also, will people care about the exploits of the '90s X-Men in the next young'uns movie if everyone disbands/dies off-screen between DoFP and this? Or will Patrick have some throwaway line about how Apocalypse disrupted/split up the timeline, and they're in a non-continuity one-off here?

I'm hoping they don't even bother to say that much. This is one of the possible futures of the timeline, just like the first X-Men "trilogy" was one possible future that will not occur for the new series of movies.
My guess is a future where a virus wiped out the mutant population and the infection is waging a war against Wolverine's healing factor it will eventually win. Xavier may have sacrificed his Mutant abilities with a more permanent version of his old serum from DofP to protect himself in the hopes of making a proper cure soon enough to save some of the mutants but ultimately it just resulted in him and Logan being the only ones left when the dust settled.
I'm sure I'll be wrong.

Don't get your hopes up. I don't think a character in this film will announce to the audience that the film is not in continuity. ( In the above scenario it would still be in continuity anyway. )“We are in the future, we have passed the point of the epilogue of Days Of Future Past" - James Mangold
Where is this quote from?
Wikipedia says the movie is set in 2024, so it's not really that far in the future, just eight years from now. Which, incidentally is the same year Star Trek said we would have Sanctuary Districts.
The mutants just can't catch a break.
Unless somebody changed it back again, the Wikipedia article now says that the film is set in 2033.
You are wrong :-)
They have already said what Prof. X's situation is and
he still has powers but also he suffers from dementia
Ah, well. When I was looking at it yesterday afternoon, it said 2024, which I confirmed going through the page's history to check out a version from yesterday. So it's since been updated. Guess I should have double-checked when I wrote my previous post what year they were currently displaying. Sometimes Wikipedia can be a pain that way.

I loved The Wolverine so I'm game.
I also hate continuity, so these movies are right up my alley.
Metal claws, bone claws, who cares so long as we get the schnickty-schnickty-schnoize?

We see 4 mutants in the trailer: Logan, Xavier, Laura, and Caliban (last seen in X-Men Apocalypse).
An interview with Empire magazine, I think.

Yeah, according to DOFP we'll have working antigrav tech by 2023. It feels like the sci-fi movies of the past allowed a bit more time for them to be proven wrong...
