Read the Hugh Jackman X-Men Apocalypse comments after the jump.
Speaking to Happy Sad Confused, Jackman teased his X-Men: Apocalypse return.
As for the next Wolverine movie, Jackman stated, “[James] Mangold and I are working on it really hard and I’m very very excited about that, actually.”
I have been speaking with the guys and I am not at liberty to tell exactly what’s going on. Which is largely framing my answer here. But there’s still a lot unknown, actually, about that. What I do know is there are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There’s some really cool things going on.
X-Men: Apocalypse will focus mostly on the First Class cast, but writer Simon Kinberg has said it will “certainly” involve some original trilogy stars as well. Jackman has long been expected to reprise his role and his new comments confirm he’s in talks.
The next Wolverine is dated for March 3, 2017. Mangold, who helmed 2013’s The Wolverine, is expected to direct.
