Hugh Jackman reveals Wolverine 3's official title

In 2009 there was ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’, then in 2013 came ‘The Wolverine’, and now we can confirm the third and final solo Wolverine film will be called ‘Logan’.

Hugh Jackman revealed the official title of ‘Wolverine 3’ via Twitter, sharing a photo of a huge billboard bearing the name, with a matching caption and release date of March 2017.

The post was retweeted by 20th Century Fox so we think it’s safe to assume this is the film’s official title. It’s not clear where the billboard is but it’s safe to assume it’s probably in New York where New York Comic Con is taking place this weekend.

Here’s the poster in all its glory:

The new movie is said to have been inspired by Mark Millar’s ‘Old Man Logan’ comic book series, and will be set in the future with Wolverine finally starting to show his age. Patrick Stewart is returning as Charles Xavier, with Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez also in the cast in as-yet-undisclosed roles.

It’ll be the last time Hugh Jackman plays the X-Men hero, and producer Simon Kinberg has promised it’ll be the most adult Wolverine film to date telling Collider earlier this year the film, “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.”
