“Wolverine 3” recruits villain

Hugh Jackman is gearing up for his last go as Logan in 20th Century Fox's upcoming “Wolverine 3”, and while details on the sequel are scarce at the moment, there is now news of who will be squaring off against Jackman as the film's big bad. “Narcos” star Boyd Holbrook has signed on to play the film's main villain, an as yet nameless character Deadline describes as “a relentless, calculating and intense head of Security for a global enterprise who, is set against Jackman's clawed Wolverine/Logan hero.”

The studio hasn't yet revealed any story details for “Wolverine 3”, though it's known Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Professor Xavier Charles in it. Jackman has teased Old Man Logan a few times now, including at Comic-Con. Director James Mangold, who helmed the previous installment in the Wolverine films, 2013's “The Wolverine”, has worked closely with Jackman for the star's final go in the claws, with David James Kelley penning the script. 

“Wolverine 3” is scheduled to arrive in theaters March 3, 2017.
