Hot off the news of Richard E. Grant joining the production of The Wolverine 3 just yesterday, word has reached us this morning that none other than The Office co-creator Stephen Merchant will also appear in the planned superhero movie over at Fox.
As with the Grant casting, we don’t know specifically as to who Merchant will play in the movie. Hugh Jackman plays the title character, which will be his final appearance in the iconic role that he first played 17 years ago.
David James Kelly wrote the script for the film, while James Mangold directs. 20th Century Fox will release the film on March 3, 2017, with shooting starting very soon.
