Looks like we have our villain for The Wolverine sequel (or threequel if you count Origins), as Boyd Holbrook (Narcos, Gone Girl) is in final talks to play the chief antagonist in the James Mangold-directed CBM.

According to Deadline, Holbrook will portray "a relentless, calculating and intense head of Security for a global enterprise who is set against Jackman’s clawed Wolverine/Logan."

Apparently this will be a completely original character, so best put the speculation hats away - though the description does sound a little bit like Captain Mooney from the recent All-New Wolverine series

The Wolverine 3 will also star Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, and is set to hit theaters on March 3 next year.

@Ryuk1995 - It had Emma Frost in a role that could easily be replaced with Mystique

@xinstituto - I think now A.D. (After Deadpool), they'll pay more attention to the source material.

This movie feels obligatory before we can get the inevitable recast and then we can finally see Wolverine in costume.
