"We’re talking it through. I still am very ambitious for the character. And tonally I feel like we corrected the ship with the last one. But I feel we can still go further, in a way. If I did another one I’m 99.9% sure it would be the last, so that will inform what it is for me."

"Well, of course we’re looking at Old Man Logan, because that may be the only option left at this point! [laughs] We are looking at a lot of different storylines. No one has jumped out. You can tell from my answer that we’re still working it out. I’m working with Jim Mangold, which is exciting. Jim came on board The Wolverine after Darren [Aronofsky] left, so he inherited it. And of all the things that Jim can do, one of the great things he does is develop scripts. I’m excited to see what we can come up with, but I haven’t signed on signed on. I’m genuinely at that point where unless it’s better than the last one I’m not going to do it."

"I can still see where we can improve on the last one. I love the intimacy of that story, I liked the small stuff, I liked that it was a little unexpected. I don’t want to get into specifics, because it just upsets people, but there are certain parts of that story where I felt we were predictable. And I don’t think you need to do that with Wolverine. What’s exciting is that you can make it a more interior story, and people actually prefer that."

I love that Hugh wants to improve on The Wolverine. It would have been my number one superhero movie if not for the tone and silliness of the 3rd act that felt completely out of place.

My top 5:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Avengers
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
4. Iron Man
5. The Wolverine

I have a feeling XMen DOFP and Wolverine 3 will sneak in my top 5 soon.

Anyways, my preferred title for Wolverine 3 is: The Wolverine Unleashed

Old Man Logan could be adapted but I imagine it would be set in a non-apocalyptic world unlike the comics. He's living with Mariko, they have kids, and for the sake of their family and having spent a century living in violence, he has vowed to Mariko that he will forever live in complete peace and and vows to never use violence again. Yukio gets intro trouble in Russia, Omega Red is the big bad. It could be done. And we'll have a bloody cut again.

Old Man Logan Is very hard to adapt from what I read On Wiki the other characters besides wolverine are characters from avengers.

I would rather Jackman's last appearance being In X-Men sequel especilly if
third wolverine was based on Old man Logan.

Like just about every other X-film story adaptation,it would be Old Man Logan in name only,I'd imagine.

I really hope they don't do Old Man Logan.Save it for ten years from now.Coax Hugh back.He'll probably be more willing to come back on pure nostalgia by then.

[BlackFox]

Yeah Old Man Logan seems a little too soon to be adapting that, as Hugh said they have only just got the character back on track and taking far in the future in post apocolyptic world would be too much of a leap from the grounded realism of the last one.

Lets just hope he can end on a high.

[GuestStar2004]

Thing is they won't retire the character because of jackman so if he doesn't wanna do it they will recast, they won't hold on to him so one day when he is 60 he will return for old man Logan, its likely they will wanna do that story now

[marvelrobbins]

Now fox can promate third wolverine as likelys wan sony for Jackman as wolverine.

Of course the question then becomes do they recast or reboot after that.

[psylockolussus]

You always jump to conclusion like that. Hugh Jackman hints he might not return and you'll bring up reboot. Hugh Jackman hints he might return and you'll bring up another thing.

In my opinion, Hugh Jackman is just being tongue in cheek, a lot of actors do that, where's the excitement if he's gonna say he's gonna play Wolverine for 3 more films.

The fact that you went from he could return for another to he is hiding the excitement that he would return for 3 more movies I think You are the one jumping to the conclusions, after wolverine 3 he will have played it 7 times already, while he says he isn't tired of the character yet he does acknowledge that at some point he has to stop

You can tell he is at that point where he has done it all as wolverine, judging by what he says about wolverine 3 he doesn't want just another film, he wants a new challenge as the character that can be better then the last

[Great Mind(s)]

I don't think they'd recast him immediately. It would just totally screw with continuity and what they've been doing. It wouldn't really be Wolverine 3, it would be The Amazing Wolverine.

He's likely just teasing us. He'll probably be back for at least another Wolverine and an X-Men film. Patrick Stewart hinted at something X-related down the line, would it really make sense after all the X-films and DOFP to have some schmuck playing Wolverine alongside Patrick Stewart as if they're old buddies? I think they're introducing Gambit to be the next Wolverine to distract people if Hugh wants to take a break or something.

It's possible he's just messing with people.reports have him set for third wolverine film which he kind of plays game with as far as admitting with people.

I still wonder why Bryan Singer would discuss Apocalypse with Hugh If he's not in film. Gambit may be to fill wolverine's void In Apocalypse If wolverine is not in it.

It's very possable Patrick Stewart Is mentioning third wolverine which may be loosly based on Old man logan will have to have x-men characters replace all the avengers characters In story and could take place after the ending of DOFP.

[Rike]

Old Man Logan? Sounds good to me.

I'm not jumping into conclusions, I said "Might" while marvelrobbins said "will".

Yeah he's probably teasing us. If he's getting tired of playing Wolverine, he wouldn't have returned after Origins and he wouldn't be doing much promotion to the DOFP after just promoting The Wolverine last year.

And is there any actor who's in a franchise (that doesn't have an end date) that says they'll be back in the next 3 to 4 movies. No one. Its always a "maybe" "if the story is good" "I'd sign up if they ask me" "we talked about it". No one really says they are so sure about returning.

Good news very interested to see where they go next after TW was such a change from the norm. Cant wait to see DOFP and then start speculating on this even more

Good news indeed, although I can see many of the "Wolverine is over exposed" brigade only complaining more if he appears in Apocalypse as well. I guess they have a right to complain though and I see their point sometimes, just hope some of the other characters get their own solo films too soon to balance things out.

They will never stop complaning even when you try to point out Even without wolverine Apocalyps eis likely to focus more on Xavier,Magneto,Mystique,and
Beast nad unlikely to be the cyclops,Jean,and storm film.

Hugh Jackman may be done after doing Apocalypse and third wolverine film back to back.

Plus DOFP may have better balance than say last stand.

And if third wolverine film Is based on old man logan I wonder how they replace all the avengers characters In the story.

I do wonder if old man Logan is what they will go with, it is radically different to others being post apocalyptic and as you say the issue of some Avengers being in it and not exactly in there normal state. I think they will go with something else but you never know, Hugh did say they will go in directions not expected and unchartered so who knows, cant wait to find out thats for sure.

Which is planned to come first Apocalypse or TW3?

Apocalypse will be out first.

from what i read on wiki most of characters besides wolverine In Old man logan
are avengers related characters.

Ah nice one so TW3 could potentially be the last then, that would be cool way to go out if thats is his swan song.

Yeah OML has very alternate versions of Hawkeye, Hulk and think Cap was in it briefly too and obviously Fox doesnt have rights to them so it would take some major alterations to get that to work on screen but I suppose they might use it as a base rather than do it word for word.

[marvelrobbins]

I suspect they will use X-Men characters to replace the avengers character

My suspecion Is APocalypse would have wolverine In newtimeline after DOFP while third wolverine would be set at some point after ending of DOFP.

[BlackFox]

Yeah possibly that could work but the themes in it are pretty dark, it would be an R/18 rated if they did a straight conversion. I guess they would tone it down if they did use that as a base.

Does sound more likely he will be in Apocalypse now doesnt it which is cool from a Wolverine fan point of view at least, I do hope Gambit is introduced though as well and we get a good Cyclops.

[Mr. Youtube]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Mangold shoots so much footage and then decides to split the film in two. Old Man Logan: Part One and Old Man Logan: Part Two.

It won't be a full adaptation, I mean, chances are it'll just take the skeleton of it. I mean, it's almost confirmed that he'll be travelling with Yukio. It probably won't be post-apocalyptic, but I've a feeling it'll show corrupt mutants and have an overall Western feel. I'm just assuming, no Logan-kids-wife and that it'll be Yukio's death that prompts his frenzy.

* Hawkeye = Yukio
* Red Skull = Sabretooth
* Hulk = Omega Red? McLeish?

They could all be suitable replacements with the film taking the basis of the comic and turn it into something like: Logan and Yukio are blackmailed into delivering a package across the US. Along the way they discover a conspiracy and after Yukio's death, Logan returns to find Omega Red or McLeish, a man with ties to his past, behind it.

[Rogan525]

I think people are missing the point about what hugh was saying. I think he means that instead of it being a comic book movie with different elements thrown in he wants a brand new story with comic elements thrown in. Bored with the comic storyline.

I don't see that happening.
