While promoting Eddie the Eagle at Sundance, actor Hugh Jackman was asked about the current status of the third, solo Wolverine film from 20th Century Fox. "We have a script. A full script. To tell you, two days ago I got that the full finished—well, it’s not finished, but we’re getting super close—as you can see by the rate of my facial hair. That might give you a good clue that perhaps…yeah, it’s sooner rather than later."
When asked if he knows when and where they'll start shooting, Jackman pulled his cards even closer to his chest. "I don’t have a firm date yet. My thing and I’ve told you and I’ve told everyone, it’s my last one, for me I want it to be perfect, so the moment I know it’s perfect, bang, we’ll go.I don’t have a firm date yet. My thing and I’ve told you and I’ve told everyone, it’s my last one, for me I want it to be perfect, so the moment I know it’s perfect, bang, we’ll go."
The Wolverine 3 is currently scheduled for release on March 3, 2017. However, if filming doesn't begin soon, look for Fox to move that release date.
