It looks like Hugh Jackman is getting ready to hang up his claws.
Speaking with SFX magazine, Jackman revealed that, after this month’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, he thinks he’ll only make one more movie as Wolverine. That will probably be the third Wolverine solo outing, which is currently in the early stages of development with The Wolverine director James Mangold expected to be back at the helm. It has a release date scheduled for March 3, 2017, which will be 17 years after Jackman first appeared as the ageless character.
This means Wolverine will not be appearing in the other new mutant movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, which is slated to arrive in 2016. We’ll just have to wait and see what Fox plans to do if Jackman really does end his run as Wolverine. They could retire the character, or recast him with a new and younger actor.
