* Despite it being said that it takes place in the new timeline created after ''Days of Future Past'', this film [[ContinuityNod references]] several previous films and events that only occurred in the original timeline. He has his dog tags from the original films despite never getting them in the new timeline, a samurai sword as a reference to ''The Wolverine'' and references the Battle at the Statue of Liberty from ''X-Men'' when talking to Xavier under the belief he was talking about that event. Eventually it was confirmed this film takes place in a BroadStrokes AlternateUniverse, fixing these issues.

* This film reveals that in 1973, Logan was working as a bodyguard for the mob and was tasked with protecting a mobster's daughter, entering a forbidden sexual relationship with her. However, ''Origins'' would establish that Logan and Victor were fighting in Vietnam during this time. Given that American troops left Vietnam in March, that means for the timeline to make sense Logan and Victor must have enlisted/been drafted between January and February, before almost immediately getting an execution.

* In previous films, it had been established that Logan had no memory of his past prior to 1979. So how, exactly, was he able to remember saving Yashida during World War II? It should also be noted that this takes place prior to the MentalTimeTravel[=/=]AlternateTimeline shown in ''Days of Future Past'', and that there was no reason given for ''Origins'' to be non-canon at this point. The possibility of Logan regaining his memories is present, but it is never mentioned in-film.
