Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine film gets an update on how things are moving along on the 2017 released project.
Simon Kinberg, the producer and writer of the most recent X-Men movies, including the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, has given an update on Hugh Jackman‘s final Wolverine film, which is set to get going in 2016 (for a 2017 release) under the watchful eye of director James Mangold.
The film will heavily feature Patrick Stewart‘s Professor X, and Kinberg has been spilling the beans to Collider about the state of the project over at 20th Century Fox.
Here’s what he had to say:
“We’re pretty close to a script that everyone’s excited about, and I don’t know when the start date is, but we won’t start until it’s ready to shoot. What Hugh said to you is the attitude we all have—myself, Lauren Shuler Donner, the studio, [director] James Mangold, Hutch Parker—all of us, feel like this is six or seven or eight (depending on how you count) movies in the making, and there are few characters in the history of cinema who have cast as big a shadow as Wolverine, so to tell the final chapter of that story, it has to be the best, and it has to have a mythic quality to it. So we have to get it right, and I think we will, and my experience working with Jim Mangold, I’ve been extraordinarily impressed with him. He’s just a really great storyteller; he’s incredible with character. Really diligent, just a special talent. I have very high hopes for that movie.”
The film is said to be taking its story from the Old Man Logan series of comic books, and we’re expecting Hugh back for one last time in Wolverine 3, or whatever they decide to call it, on March 3, 2016.
