Patrick Stewart is confirmed for the sequel to The Wolverine.
Stewart will be back as Professor Xavier along with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine one last time as the actor confirmed the news to Collider.
“I can tease them in the following way. I think what you say is true. There is a project in development. I understand that Professor Xavier will be making more than an appearance, however, and that intrigues me. And the idea of an old Wolverine – I’m really looking forward to Hugh Jackman getting old. You know, damn him. He looks so great. So I’m hoping to see him covered in prosthetics, you know? And then he’ll make me look better, if that’s the case.”
The untitled Wolverine sequel has a March 3, 2017 release date with James Mangold returning to direct as well.
