The NZA Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) source It’s been known for some time that the upcoming Wolverine 3 will feature Hugh Jackman’s Logan and Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier teaming up, but there may be another X-Men character along for the ride in the film. Though it remains unconfirmed, we’ve heard that the mutant X-23 will be making her feature debut and will join Wolverine and Professor X for their journey in the sequel.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I guess this makes sense since Jackman is done with the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I can't see them not recasting after Jackman calls it a night. Wolverine is too big a character to remove from the toy box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Jackman's say he was done with the character before, and Jackman also said that he would come back if Marvel and Fox ever got around to a similar deal to what's being done with Spidey. I wouldn't be surprised if they held off on recasting until it's absolutely certain that he's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 WITHNAIL AND I Actor Richard E. Grant Joins The Cast Of THE WOLVERINE 3 In A Villainous Role Though his character is not named, British actor Richard E. Grant has been cast alongside the returning Hugh Jackman as a "villainous mad scientist type" in James Mangold's sequel to The Wolverine... Fox and director James Mangold really are playing this one close to their chests. Earlier in the month we found out that Narcos star Boyd Holbrook would play a mysterious villain in the follow up to The Wolverine, and now THR reports that he'll be joined by Richard E. Grant (Withnail And I, Doctor Who, Bram Stoker's Dracula) as another baddie. All we have to go on is that he'll be playing a "mad scientist type". There's a chance, of course, that this will turn out to be Doctor Cornelius, who worked on the original Weapon X programme and returned for the Death of Wolverine comic arc - but there are many other possibilities. The Wolverine 3 will also star Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, and is set to hit theaters on March 3 next year. A great actor, hopefully he's not wasted on another run of the mill villain.

Little Nemo McFly Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That'd be awesome if he's Dr. Cornelius. I've always liked that character and he looks the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Depending on the origin and casting, I could be for an X-23 or Dakken type taking over in the re-booted X-verse in the SNIKT department once Jackman retires. Although, I will say it'd be a damn shame if we never got Jackman in a film with the current Avengers line-up. Is it too much to hope for an Old Man Logan (or OML-type) film in the future with a 60-yr-old Jackman and Renner as Hawkeye? That'd be serious geek boner material. Ermahgerd!

The NZA Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Dakken strong +1 to wanting an OML flick though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Yeah, Daken ain't perfect, but some of the pheromone power stuff could be interesting in the films. And I'm not sure what the whole "Ultimate Universe Son of Wolverine" is really all about outside of the OML Secret Wars tie-in, so Daken was the only Logan offspring that came to mind. Some of that Dark Wolverine stuff was aaight. Edited April 28, 2016 by Mr. Hakujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 There are strong rumours that this movie is going to be called Old Man Logan. How they can conceive to call it that I don't know. Also Sydney Confidential: "When you tweeted about Wolverine 3 the other day, the response was huge!" Hugh Jackman: "Yeah, unbelievable." SC: "Give me something about Wolverine, what's happening? you bringing it back to Australia? The story..?" Jackman: "There were a lot of calls for Victor Creed to come back, there was... I must admit I was quite heartened by a number of people saying please don't make it the last, but I'm really excited about this last one, and if you're a comic book fan, then the words 'berserker rage' came up a lot, so if you know Wolverine, you'll understand."

Mr. Hakujin Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Possibilities of an OML inspired Wolverine 3 are seemingly becoming greater by the day. Jackman has been posting pics of him on location on Instagram, a lot of wilderness and nature stuff. Then he posted this the other day... We definitely know he's playing an older version of Logan in this "final" Wolverine film, but nothing yet if the story is linked to the OML arc form the comics. Also, Patrick Stewart is apparently playing a big part in this film and according to Stewart it's "a very different Charles Xavier." Here's a collage of pics with a much older Logan (but not looking very OML-ish) puching around a sickly looking Xavier. Not sure who the little girl is meant to be. And take this for what it's worth, but... The film is currently shooting scenes in New Orleans. A guy at my local comic shop claims to "know a guy" working on set and says it's definitely OML.

Little Nemo McFly Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Whoa - those pics looks crazy. Jackman has been at this for 17 years now. I hope they send off him and his character (Movie-Wolvie) with a fucking bang. I really hope they end up going hard R and go full-on adult audience. I would stand and applaud right now if he could hear me - he deserves a fucking medal for sticking around this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yeah, they word now is this will for sure be an R rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm only familiar with OML (for all my years of dedication to the X-men, i've never much cared for Wolverine and his brood, sans when he partnered with Havok) - but the books I read during Secret Wars this last go really got my interest. Is it safe to say that before I see this, I might wanna go read OML? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I think it's pretty safe to say that the movie is going to differ GREATLY from the source material. At most, it will be inspired by OML, in that in both, Wolverine will be an old(er) man. I honestly can't see how they could include anything else.

Mr. Hakujin Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Well, it certainly ain't the Millar story I was hoping for, but it still looks pretty fuckin' cool. No more mutants? Did Charles pull a Scarlet Witch? Sinister's Essex Corp. release a virus? My curiosity is peaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
