SPOILERS for X-Men: Apocalypse ahead!

Yes, as the final full trailer teased, Wolverine does make an appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse, and what an appearance it is. When we left Wolverine last in the Days of Future Past time, the mutant had just his bone skeleton and claws, already had some memory issues, and had just been possessed by his future self for some time.

Wolverine comes into Apocalypse when the team gets abducted and taken to Alkali Lake, and the secret Weapon X facility. As William Stryker and his men seek to get information out of the young mutants, Cyclops, Jean, and Nightcrawler sneak around the facility, telepathically masked from the soldiers on patrol. They come upon a large, fully sealed cage. While trying to figure out how to open the room that their friends are locked in, and avoid soldiers, the cage opens.

Enter: Wolverine, or more appropriately, Weapon X. Yes, Hugh Jackman was back, but this time in a full Barry Windsor-Smith style Weapon X look. He had a helmet pulled down over his eyes and wires connecting it to all parts of his body. This Logan was unhinged and utterly animalistic. He begins to cut his way through the entire facility, in the most pure berserker rage we've seen on the big screen. As he makes his way through, we see him slash and stab many individuals, though the bigger violence is left for implication. Part of the action is seen from odd angles like classic slasher horror movies, and some is seen through the CCTV cameras placed around. Logan is, naturally, going after Stryker, the man that did this to him, but Stryker abandons his post (and his men) very quickly after the mad mutant gets loose.

It all leads to Logan coming face-to-face with the kids. He's still enraged, and it looks like we might have a fight on our hands, but Jean Grey is able to calm him down, in a strange combination of callback and foreshadowing at the same time. Calm, she helps him get the helmet off, and she reaches into his mind - it's a jumble, a blur, and hard for her to see into, but she finds something. A name: Logan. That's all she's able to give to him before he recoils, takes out the wires, and runs out into the cold white wilderness.

It's a great moment, and a way to finally show Wolverine's full-on berserker rage.

X-Men: Apocalypse is in theaters now, where you can see this crazy scene for yourself.
