Sir Patrick Stewart Confirms Role In Wolverine 3

So it has now been confirmed that Sir Patrick Stewart will be reprising his role as Professor X in Hugh Jackmans final outing as James Logan Hewitt aka Wolverine.

 Stewart announced the news via his Twitter account calling it the ‘worst kept secret’ because over the last year Stewart and the producers have been talking about his involvement.

Producer Hutch Parker confirmed the casting a day earlier to Collider after Jackman has previously given details about the plot.

“I’ll be really honest with you, the actual script in it’s full form we’re up to about Page 60” Hugh explained.

“Obviously there’s a treatment, so it’s not fully done yet, we’re not fully there. Patrick does figure in it that’s for sure. I think it’s a really important relationship but I want to see signs of that quasi-father/son sort of relationship that has not been seen before, and sides of particularly Professor X that have not been seen before. So we have some really, really cool ideas.”

We are still unsure to actually what time frame the movie will be based in as we have been teased with an old man Logan timeline further along in Logan’s life where he has a family and the world is broken into territories run by super villains or the latest one where the title of the film was leaked of Weapon X which may mean the story takes place sooner than we had thought.

This film could also be the last time we see Stewart take up the role as Professor X as he does not appear in X-Men Apocalypse.

New Wolverine Film Gets Interesting Title

So news broke today that the next installment and Hugh Jackmans final appearance as Wolverine may have finally been given a title – Weapon X now those of you who know and love Wolverine as much as me knows that this title ties into the experiment that gave Wolverine his Adamantium skeleton.

Now this throws in a curve ball to the mix as there have been a fair few rumors around the film being linked to the Old Man Logan story from the comic books. This could just be a title that may mean Logan finally finds closure of what was done to him as we saw at the end of X-Men Days Of Futures Past Wolverine was taken away by a young William Stryker who we know was responsible for enlisting Logan into the Weapon X program. But this could also make a lot of sense as it has been rumored that X-23 a female clone of Wolverine (Has the Weapon X program been started up again?) it may fall to Wolverine to be the only one capable of stopping this.

Once again this give us more questions than answers to exactly what story line the film is actually going to be following or it could mean that they will be taking influences from a few of the different story arcs and then tying them together. It appears we will have to wait and see until the next batch of rumors to see if any of the information coming out can be cleared up.

Wolverine 3 Cast Adds Elizabeth Rodriguez

So it has been announced that Elizabeth Rodriguez (Fear of the Walking Dead/ Orange Is The New Black) to the cast they have not yet released what character Rodriguez will play but we do know it will be a “small but key role”.

 

But if the rumors that are coming out about the film are true about it being linked to the old man Logan story line we could see Rodriguez take up one of two roles either as Laura Kinney (X-23) this being linked to my article about Bryan Singer pitching a female Wolverine or we could see her play Maureen Logan’s wife from the comic books these are all rumors of course and we could see her play another part in the film.

Rodriguez is only another member added to an already growing cast which includes the likes of Stephen Merchant, Eriq La Salle and Elise Neal in as yet unknown roles. We also know that Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) is set to play the films main antagonist and that Richard E. Grant (Jekyll & Hyde) has been signed up as an unspecified mad scientist and Patrick Stewart as Professor X.

I for one am extremely excited to see this film when it is released in 2017 as I am a huge Wolverine fan and will also sorely miss Jackman’s portrayal of one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Bryan Singer Pitches Female Wolverine

So it appears that Bryan Singer is already preparing for life without Hugh Jackaman as Wolverine by pitching the idea of a female Wolverine to Fox. So as we know Jackman is hanging his claws after the third installment of the movie, Singer has revealed in an interview with fandango that he pitched a Fox studios with replacing Jackman with the new female Wolverine Laura Kinney previously X-23.

“I have discussed that with the studio” Singer advised fandango “I actually initially pitched the X-Force and the female”

I’m not 100% convinced that a female Wolverine would work I started reading the comics and did not really connect with the character so stopped after issue 4 as I thought I would give it more of a chance.

Singer also revealed that he has started work on the X-Force movie but it is still just at the ideas stage. He told fandango “Simon Kinberg is the earliest script stage, so that’s kind of where it stands and we’ll see how it evolves”
