'X-Men Apocalypse' Movie Cast News, Rumors: Hugh Jackman to Reprise Wolverine Role?

In latest 'X-Men Apocalypse' movie news, actor Hugh Jackman revealed whether or not he will reprise his iconic role as Wolverine in future films based on the popular Marvel comic books.

"I have been speaking with the guys and I am not at liberty to tell exactly what's going on," said Jackman on the Happy Sad Confused podcast in a recent interview.

"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."

The 46-year-old Australian native also confirmed that he will be working with 'The Wolverine' director James Mangold in an upcoming 'Wolverine 3' film.

"Mangold and I are working on it really hard and I'm very, very excited about that, actually," said Jackman.

Along with Jackman, the blockbuster film will also star James McAvoy (Professor Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse), Nicholas Hoult (Hank McCoy aka Beast) and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique).

Previously, 'X-Men: Apocalypse' screenwriter Simon Kinberg revealed what fans of the iconic movie franchise can expect in the sequel to the blockbuster 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' film.

"The thing that we've spent the most time talking about is not just the visual execution of the character, which is its own challenge - creating a character that's the most powerful I think of any mutant villain that we've seen in the X-Men movies so far. More powerful than Magneto. The kind of scope and scale we're talking about is like disaster movie, extinction level event. Sort of Roland Emmerich-style moviemaking, which you've never seen in an X-Men movie, or any superhero movie, which I think is exciting," said Kinberg to IGN.

The sequel to the newly released 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' film is set to take place in the 1980's where actor Channing Tatum is projected to join the all-star cast as the ex-con mutant from Louisiana, Gambit.

The future 'X-Men Apocalypse' film is expected to be released in theaters on May 27, 2016, while the 'Wolverine 3' movie is slated to debut on the big screen on March 3, 2017.
