If the rumors are to be believed, it looks like Hugh Jackman won’t be playing X-Men favorite Wolverine for much longer. While that could mean saying goodbye to the character on film for good, most likely Jackman will be replaced for future entries in the franchise. Either way, the actor reportedly doesn’t have long left in the X-universe.
One concern is the prospect that Jackman could end his term without a truly great Wolverine movie to his name. The Wolverine is promising in places but ultimately disappointing, while the less said about X-Men Origins the better. As Jackman winds down his X-Men tenure, his final movie – The Wolverine 3 – approaches. After two duds, however, it’s more trepidation than excitement that we’re feeling.
According to Jackman, the next (final?) Wolverine film’s script is finished, and the movie at present has a tentative release date of March 3rd, 2017. If Jackman’s serious about quitting this time, it really will be his last chance to make a great standalone Wolverine movie.
So, with that in mind, here are some tips for The Wolverine 3 team to make this one an instant classic.
