Overview
- Marvel announced the new five-issue limited series on August 19, 2026, and set the first issue to go on sale December 16, 2026.
- Paul Jenkins, the writer of the 2001 original Origin, is writing Origin III and will be joined by artist Carlos Alberto Fernández Urbano, known as CAFU.
- Marvel describes the story as a psychologically driven, harrowing tale set in the 1950s that examines Logan’s mind, memories, and a tragic period that shaped him.
- The announcement is tied to the 25th anniversary of the original Wolverine: Origin and was published with promotional covers by Wes Burt and Josemaria Casanovas.
- This project continues Marvel’s pattern of revisiting Wolverine’s early life—following the 2001 Origin and 2013 Origin II—and could add new canonical context for Weapon X and Logan’s later identity.
