Wolverine

Hugh Jackman has finished filming his last Wolverine movie.

The nine-time Wolverine actor took to his social media to post video of himself shaving off his muttonchops for the last time.

“My wife is going to be very happy,” Jackman posted on Twitter.

The third Wolverine movie will also be the last X-Men film for Patrick Stewart who reprises as Professor X.

No plot details are known for The Wolverine 3, but Hugh Jackman did previously tease some sort of adaptation of the Marvel Comics “Old Man Logan” storyline. In addition, Hugh Jackman asked fans what they most wanted to see in his last outing as the adamantium-wielding bersker-raging mutie with fans responding the yellow Wolverine suit and another battle versus Sabretooth.

It’s also unknown what will happen following the departure of Hugh Jackman from the Wolverine role: Will Fox reboot the character? Or will Fox go the James Bond route with Wolverine and simply use a new actor?

Hugh Jackman first appeared as Logan and Wolverine in the 2000 Bryan Singer X-Men movie.

The untitled “Wolverine” 3 has a March 3 2017 release directed by James Mangold also starring Elizabeth Rodriguez, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Richard E. Grant, Doris Morgado and Eriq La Salle.

Hugh Jackman has taken to his social networks to seemingly tease his Old Man Logan look for the third Wolverine movie.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!” Jackman posted, which includes a platter of fish in the image.

The image of the 47-year-old Jackman looking a lot older and weathered than his usual self has actually caused some fans concern.

However, if you compare the image to earlier images posted on Jackman’s social networks, you can see the obvious difference.

The untitled Wolverine 3 has a March 3, 2017 release directed by James Magold. 

It’s speculated the next Wolverine movie will be somewhat based on the Marvel Comics “Old Man Logan” storyline, and now new images of Hugh Jackman add further support to the theory.

Jackman has posted images of himself on Instagram with a longer gnarly beard, and set images have surfaced as well.

The third untitled Wolverine movie will mark Hugh Jackman’s last time as the adamantium wielding bersker raging mutie. James Mangold returns to direct Wolverine 3, which has a March 3, 2017 release also starring Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, Eriq La Salle and Elise Neal.

It’s reported that Richard E. Grant has been cast in a villain role for the untitled third Wolverine movie.

THR reports Grant joins Hugh Jackman in Wolverine 3 playing a villainous mad-scientist type role with the specific character not known.

British actor Richard E. Grant is known for  Doctor Who, Dracula, Jekyll & Hyde, Dig and Downton Abbey.

The Wolverine 3 has a March 3, 2017 release directed by James Mangold also starring Patrick Stewart as Professor X. and Boyd Holbrook as Jackman’s nemesis.

Following the news of the villain, now the setting for the third Wolverine movie has become known.

“The Wolverine movie takes place in the future,” Simon Kinberg told Cinema Blend.

Kinberg didn’t offer further details, but the mention Wolverine 3 will be set in the future further hints at the use of the “Old Man Logan” comic book storyline, which is set in more than fifty years in an alternate post-apocalyptic future.

Regarding the casting of Boyd Holbrook as potentially a new character/villain for the movie, it’s possible since Marvel Studios owns the rights to certain characters used in the comic, that Kinberg and Fox may be replacing them with original characters (Red Skull, Hawkeye, etc.)

The untitled third Wolverine movie has a March 3, 2017 release directed by James Mangold starring Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart. It’s been said the movie may be rated-R.

It is April Fool’s Day, but Canada has gone out and done a pretty cool thing by releasing the “military records” of James Howlett aka Wolverine.

The official Library and Archives of Canada released the following “info” about Wolverine:

Library and Archives Canada’s major acquisition of the declassified journals and military records of Canadian supersoldier James “Logan” Howlett

April 1, 2016 – Gatineau, Quebec – Library and Archives Canada (LAC)

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) acquires the declassified journals and military records of Canadian supersoldier James “Logan” Howlett.

Logan was born in 1882 in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, to wealthy landowner Elizabeth Howlett and her grounds-keeper Thomas Logan.

Logan’s journals provide valuable insight into his early life in Canada, including work as a miner in a British Columbia stone quarry, a fur trader for the Hudson’s Bay Company, and a homesteader in the Canadian Rockies. His military career spanned multiple conflicts, making his personnel records an unprecedented study in Canadian military history. Logan was gravely wounded in action many times, and gained a reputation as a gritty survivor.

Quick Facts:

• WWI: Captain in the Canadian Armed Forces (Devil’s Brigade). Fought at Ypres in 1915. Wounded by a sword through the chest.
• WWII: Returned to the Devil’s Brigade in the Second World War, as an allied spy and paratrooper for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion during the Normandy landings on D-Day.
• Cold War: based in Ottawa and Calgary, worked for both CSIS and the CIA.
• Logan later changed his operative name to ‘Wolverine’, and worked with various NGOs.

A few days ago saw a promotional image surface out of Toy Fair stating Fox Studios is anticipating an R-rating for the next Wolverine movie, which will be Hugh Jackman’s last movie as the adamantium-wielding mutant.

Now Den Of Geek is stating that R-rating for Wolverine is confirmed, in addition to stating the movie will be about “Old Man Logan,” which was previously teased at Comic-Con.

While Fox has yet to officially confirm the R-rating, the report states Fox has been targeting an R-rating for Wolverine even prior to Deadpool. It’s said director James Mangold has been planning for years to make a more violent sendoff for Jackman and his version of Wolverine.

The Marvel Comics “Old Man Logan” storyline written by Mark Millar (Civil War, Kick-Ass, Kingsman) features Wolverine in a post-apocalyptic alternate universe and future where the supervillains have taken over the United States. Here is the description for the graphic novel on Amazon:

MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN–who last teamed for the monumental CIVIL WAR–bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands anold man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced tohelp an old friend–the blind archer, HAWKEYE–drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.

Obviously Fox would adapt “Old Man Logan” a bit differently as they don’t have the rights to the Hulk and Hawkeye, but more than likely other Fox-owned characters would fit. Patrick Stewart is said to be returning as Professor X for the film as well.

Jackman also previously stated fans wanted to see Wolverine in the yellow suit, the berserker rage, and another battle versus Sabretooth.

The untitled Wolverine movie has a March 3, 2017 release.
