"I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice."

In 2017, after eighteen amazing years and eight (potentially ten) films, long-time X-Men star Hugh Jackman will finally hang up the claws and bid farewell to Wolverine. It'll be an emotional goodbye for the Academy Award-nominated actor as well as for fans everywhere that grew up watching him. However, before it's all said and done, he still has one last adventure ahead of him in the form of a third solo Wolverine feature, which will reunite him with his X-Men co-star Patrick Stewart and maybe even see him reappear alongside a few other familiar faces from the original trilogy. Additionally, even though there hasn't been any official word yet, there's a fairly good chance he shows up in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse and there's also an outside shot he appears in the Ryan Reynolds-starrer Deadpool.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Jackman offered up a status update on the script for his next and final Wolverine solo outing, saying that he and James Mangold have been hard at work on the script for the past few months and that they're "at about page 60 right now," which considering the length of most big-budget screenplays nowadays is probably right around the halfway point. He goes on to share his immense excitement for the project and also reveals that he has yet to set a start date for some very good reasons:

"I don't have a start date because, we're not going to have start dates until we have that script perfect. It matters too much to me, I care too much about the character, about the audience, and when you say it's going to be your last one... I just want to leave everything on the table, absolutely everything."

Three things:
1) The [frick]ing costume ignore Bryan Singer and let Hugh wear that one from the end of the last movie.

2) A R rated cinema release so wolverine can finally let loose and actually be a visceral raging beast on screen that kicks ass and is the best at what he does.

3) Bring Sabretooth back for a rematch (Liev Schriber)

They have to do the costume. They have to. I'm really going to miss Jackman, he was Wolverine for me, and I'm sure a lot of other people as well. It's an end of an era.

I just watched Days of Future Past again.

I'm 90 percent positive the final Wolverine movie will take place in the future that Wolverine returned to, and knowing Prof. X will be in it gives much more weight to Patrick Stewart's final line in that film. They have a lot to discuss.

I just want it to be tied into the continuity in some way, now that the first two films essentially don't matter (and who cares about the first garbage effort).

My thing is, if they know it's going to be e last film and etc for the character or "Hugh's character" how the heck are they going to explain a new actor eventually taking over the role?

Origins could've been such a great movie even if it was just 70% great. I think the only way that Fox should move along with Wolverine is of they give him a Netflix series.

I know that he had that Q&A where he asked fans for what they wanted to see the most in his last movie as Wolverine. As far as I know, what every Wolvie fan wants, and I think it's about goddamn time we got them, these two things are the major MUST HAVE's that are long due:

-BERSERKER RAGE (A proper one where he literally goes all out)

-THE MOTHER-FRICKING SUIT!!! GIVE US THE DAMN YELLOW AND BLUE SUIT! I DON'T CARE HOW YOU GET IT DONE, JUST DOOOO ITTTT!

Seriously though, when the first promos for DOFP rolled out, I felt like a goddamn genius when I saw Wolverine's future armour outft with the yellow and blue under-suit. I swear to God I was so sure that during a climactic fight, the top armour pieces were going to break off and reveal the classic suit underneath, even without the helmet, but that never happened. I was making bets with everyone before the movie came out that we were finally going to get it, but sadly...




ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMAGE BELOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS 100% TEASING IT FOR THE MOVIE

@TheRationalNerd

I'm not sure, but I think Apocalypse is ending that trilogy and their starting something new with Deadpool, Gambit, New Mutants, etc

I have a feeling that after this, we won't see Wolverine for awhile, maybe after New Mutants

Just a gut feeling, not sure, can't wait for Apocalypse and Deadpool, Jackman is awesome, but I'm hoping the next Wolverine is shorter, savage, and a little more acrobatic, then Hugh, and I hope we see the suit

@Bl00dwerK. I couldn't have said it better. If we don't get a proper, comic book accurate costume, then GTFO. I thought for sure that we would finally see Wolverine suit up in Days of Future Past. Or Wolverine 2. That's the one thing fans have been clamoring for. Also, I want to see some really good cameos from the original cast aswell as some newer mutants. But seriously, is asking for Wolverine to wear his classic costume with his mask too much? To me that would be the best send off for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Ugh. Enough already. Just reboot Wolvie AND the X-FIlms. None of them are good.

Even if they give us a true beserker rage, you can't do that without an R rating
