The Wolverine 3 Casts Eriq La Salle

 

Over the past few weeks, there have been getting casting announcements for James Mangold’s follow up to The Wolverine that have left fans very confused in terms of what they should be expecting from the story. That’s mainly down to none of the characters being revealed along with the casting news, and that continues with the latest addition.

reports has it that actor/director Eriq La Salle will also join Hugh Jackman for his final turn in the claws, but no other details are provided as to who he may be playing. For quite a while, it was generally assumed that this Wolverine flick would at least partially take influence from Mark Millar’s acclaimed Old Man Logan comic arc, but because none of these roles are being specified, it’s very difficult to speculate any further.

We do know a few things about some of the other newcomers, though Boyd Holbrook will play the lead villain, British veteran Richard E. Grant is said to be a mad scientist type, and rumour has it that actresses are currently being looked at for X-23 – but that’s big grain of salt stuff for the time being.

The Wolverine 3 is set to commence pretty soon to meet its March 2017 release date
