Wolverine 3 Set Photos Have a Better Look at X-23?

It has long been confirmed thatWolverine 3will markHugh Jackman’s final performance as the iconic Wolverine. Many have wondered how the franchise will be able to replace such an iconic character, but over the past few months, rumors have swirled that reveal this superhero movie will introduce X-23, a female mutant who was created as a clone of Wolverine. While this character was never confirmed, we sawHugh Jackmanon the set with an unidentified girl last week in new set photos, and today we have even more images.

Before production started in New Orleans onWolverine 3, a casting call was sent out that many fans thought was for the popular mutantX-23. That casting call was seeking Caucasian, Hispanic and Asian women over the age of 21, who are between 4'0-4'11 in height, size 0-4, with dark brown hair for stand-in roles. However, a newcharacter descriptionrevealed this mystery character dubbed Zoe is between 12 and 15 years of age, which matches up to the unidentified young girl seen withHugh Jackmanin these photos.

Today’s images tease that Wolverine and whoever this young girl is, may be in a bit of trouble. They’re both seen standing outside of a limousine, which has been riddled with bullet holes, and the girl herself may have even been shot. The photos reveal a blood-red stain on the actress' pink shirt, but we don’t know for sure if she was shot or not. Production has been under way since early May, but we still don’t have an official plot synopsis for thisR-ratedmovie.

There was also a recent report that claimed the movie will actually be calledWeapon X, with many speculating about whether or not this story ties in to last month’sX-Men: Apocalypse.Hugh Jackmanmade a brief appearance duringX-Men: Apocalypse, which was set in 1983, as he took out a number of soldiers at the Weapon X facility at Alkali Lake. Then again, since that movie was set in the past, andHugh Jackmanhas been spotted sporting a beard with hints of grey, it doesn’t seem likely that this story will be set in 1983. It is possible that there could be a flashback or some other tie-in toX-Men: Apocalypse, but we don’t know for sure.

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine andPatrick Stewart’s Professor X will reunite. The cast includesBoyd Holbrookas the villain,Stephen Merchant,Richard E. GrantandEriq La Sallein unspecified roles. We’ll continue to keep you posted with more updates onWolverine 3, but in the meantime, check out the latest photos from theWolverine 3set. You can see even more photos atJust Jared.
