Hold on to your butts, Hugh Jackman is going out with a bang! “Wolverine 3” is set to be Jackman’s final run with the character before he hangs up the claws for good and Simon Kinberg has confirmed that the threequel will be an R-rated movie. It’s been rumored for a while now that the film would be going in that direction and when Kingberg recently caught up with Collider he broke the news.
“I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about that,” Kinberg said. “I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumored 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.”
Simon Kinberg also confirmed that “Wolverine 3” has started filming and he says that it will be a very bold and different movie. The film is rumored to be based on the “Old Man Logan” story and it’s already been confirmed that Patrick Stewart’s Professor-X will play a key role in the film. Boyd Holbrook is also set to play the central villain.
The yet to be officially titled “Wolverine 3” is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2017.
