It also makes sense, as it is rumored (I'm not sure if it was confirmed) that Logan takes place during a time where mutants are near extinct, meaning most of the X-Men characters will be dead. Wait, really? He said it might me his last movie? Seeing Patrick Stewart leave the role of Professor X will be as sad as Hugh Jackman leaving the role of Wolverine (at least for me).

I am pretty sure it was confirmed that mutants in that era are near extint.
