Wolverine 3 Officially Enters Production

 

Fox producer Simon Kinberg is gearing up for a radical, bold, different Wolverine 3 as production gets underway on the set of James Mangold’s long-awaited threequel. Heralding the return of Hugh Jackman as the temperamental Logan Mangold’s actioner will host the Aussie’s final turn as the iconic mutant, before he calls time on his decorated tenure in the X-Men universe.

That adds an extra coat of excitement to Wolverine 3 in anticipation of its 2017 release, and recently Kinberg spoke about just how different Jackman’s swan song is shaping up to be. During the interview, the producer claimed that it’s a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you’ve ever seen in any of these movies. He said “I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about that. I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumoured to be a part of that film. It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It’s violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film.”

20th Century Fox has slated Wolverine 3 for a release on March 3, 2017. Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, and Eriq Lasalle round out the preliminary cast.
