A few lucky locals in New Orleans got to witness the reunion of Logan and Professor X this week, as shooting onWolverine 3continues. Both Hugh Jackman, who reprises his role as the indestructible mutant Wolverine, and Patrick Stewart, the originalCharles Xavier, are looking a lot worse for wear in these latest images. In fact, Professor X appears to be in pretty bad shape.
The images were shared byJust Jared, who have over 15 new images. You’ll have to visit the site to see them, as we’re not legally allowed to show them to you here. We do have a few sneak peeks in the Twitter embeds below.
Hugh Jackmanis seen pushing his co-starPatrick Stewartin a wheelchair. This is the fifthX-Menmovie the pair have appeared in together. They kicked off the franchise in 2000 with the original movie, teaming up again forX2: X-Men Unitedin 2003 andX-Men: The Last Standin 2006. They then reunited in 2014 forX-Men: Days of Future Past. Patrick Stewart also appeared in the post-credit stinger forThe Wolverine.
We’re not quite sure howProfessor Xfactors intoWolverine 3, which is rumored to be titledWeapon X, which ties into this summer’sX-Men: Apocalypse. It was rumored for a long time that this next sequel would be based on the popularOld Man LoganMarvel Comic Book arc, but apparently that isn’t true. What is known is that this is a neo-Western that takes place in the future, and will likely introduceX-23, the female version of Wolverine, who could take over forHugh Jackmanonce he gets done with this finale.
The scene being shot finds Logan and Xavier being rushed out of a Casino. They are placed into a truck and driven away. A young, unidentified actress joins them in one shot. Is this our first look at X-23? We don’t have an answer for that. This is the second timeHugh Jackmanhas been spotted on set. He was seen last week in a disheveled state of affairs, with a greying beard that only seemed to confirm theOld Man Loganrumors. We’ll keep you posted as more set photos come in.
