When the Fox X-Men Universe starts to fall, Logan has to return to The Underworld universe only to find its been destroyed and he is now trapped in endless space. Luckily he is saved and pulled into the Dc cinematic by Grifter right before Grifter is killed by a falling star. When he gets there he is confused but eventually ignores it because he has to fight this universe's version of him who is evil and wants this new good version dead. Logan spends the majority of the movie hitting himself, but eventually is able to overpower him and kill him only for him to come back as an evil being made out of pure energy called the Black Phoenix Force. Logan manages to hold it off for as long as he can but is eventually overwhelmed by it and falls but when Logan reaches the afterlife he sees Jean Grey, Cyclops, Professor X, and Magneto who all tell him he needs to go back, and so using his healing factor to the extreme he is able to come back and destroy the Black Phoenix Force. The movie ends with Wolverine finding a portal that will lead him to a universe where The Underworld refuges are hiding. In the post credits we see Doctor Doom killing an entire universe and cleaning his sword with a version of Superman's cape.
