It was a given with Patrick Stewart's 'Xavier' casting, but producer Simon Kinberg has officially confirmed that the third and final film for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine will be set in the future. His comment is simple, but vague, stating:  “The Wolverine movie takes place in the future.”

While Days of Future Past saw a future that was bleak and unappealing, with the 'reset' timeline that the Wolverine we know and love is currently residing in, we may see what is going on in that new future and how the villain of the film who was recently cast sets into motion to cause trouble for Xavier and Wolverine. Time will tell when more news starts trickling in.

For now, what do you think of this confirmation? Sound off in the comments below!

They just dug themselves into a bigger ditch continuity wise. Film is set in the future and yet Jackman will never reprise the role ever again. smh

This is interesting news, seeing as Fox doesn't have all the rights to Old Man Logan they can't do that story. So it wil be interesting to see what story they go with. Hopefully it will be one where aliens are attacking Earth and man has found a way to leave Earth, so this would in the far future.
