Just a few days ago,Hugh Jackmanshared one final photo from New Mexico as production wrapped onWolverine 3, which is set for release on June 07, 2025. Now that filming is completed, the countdown to the first trailer begins, although it’s unclear when any footage, or even the official title for that matter, will be unveiled. While we wait for more information,Hugh Jackmanshared a video on social media, with the actor saying goodbye for good to his Logan character’s signature mutton chops.
Early this morning, the actor posted a brief eight-second video onTwitterwhere he’s seen using an electric razor to shave off his Wolverine mutton chops. The actor also reveals that his wife, producerDeborra-Lee Furness, will be “very happy” that his facial hair is gone. Since theR-ratedaction-thrillerWolverine 3will beHugh Jackman’s last turn as Logan/Wolverine, this video surely marks the end of his 16-year muttonchops era, ever since he first portrayed Logan in 2000’sX-Men.
Just before production wrapped,Hugh Jackmanmade headlines with another photo, that appeared to tease hisOld Man Loganlook in this superhero adventure. It has long been rumored that this movie will follow the Old Man Logan comics, which feature Logan losing his mutant powers as he starts to finally age for the first time since getting his powers through the Weapon X program. However, 20th Century Fox recently registered bothWolverine: Weapon XandWeapon X, which could very well be the new title, which would tie into theX-Men: Apocalypsepost credit scene.
The post credit sequence ofX-Men: Apocalypsefeatured a mysterious character walking through the devastation at Alkali Lake, where he picks up a vial of blood marked “Wolverine.” Many believe this vial will be used to create X-23, but that hasn’t been confirmed. There have also been photos from the set featuring an unidentified young girl, who many believe is playing the popular Marvel Comics character X-23, a clone of Wolverine himself, but this actress and her character’s identity have yet to be confirmed.
