Wolverine 3: Hugh Jackman says script for X-Men spin-off is finished

'It’s my last one, for me I want it to be perfect'

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (20th Century Fox)

Hugh Jackman’s defining role will forever be playing Wolverine in the X-Men series; he’s portrayed the character six times already and is set to play Logan one last time in the as-yet-untitled third Wolverine film.

Little is known about the film yet, which is unsurprising when you consider Fox has another big superhero project on the way, X-Men: Apocalypse.

However, Jackman has offered us a little update on exactly where things are, telling Collider the script is finished (well, nearly finished).

“We have a script. A full script. To tell you, two days ago I got that the full finished—well, it’s not finished, but we’re getting super close—as you can see by the rate of my facial hair. That might give you a good clue that perhaps… yeah, it’s sooner rather than later.”

However, the 47-year-old is a little hesitant about committed to the script: “My thing and I’ve told you and I’ve told everyone, it’s my last one, for me I want it to be perfect, so the moment I know it’s perfect, bang, we’ll go.”

Wolverine 3 - which presumably won’t be the final title - is out 3 March 2017.
