X-Men: Apocalypse Reshoots to Include Hugh Jackman as Wolverine?

During 20th Century Fox’s Hall H presentation at 2015 Comic Con,X-Men: ApocalypsedirectorBryan Singerengaged in a cryptic conversation withHugh Jackman, who has appeared asWolverinein everyX-Menmovie to date, but still hasn’t been confirmed for an appearance inX-Men: Apocalypse. While the conversation certainly didn’t confirm a Wolverine cameo, it did hint that one may be possible, and if a new report is to be believed, fans will see Wolverine inX-Men: Apocalypse.Journal de Montrealis reporting that the director is assembling his cast in Montreal early next year for reshoots, and thatHugh Jackmanmay be on hand.

This report hasn’t been confirmed by 20th Century Fox, directorBryan SingerorHugh Jackman, but it would seem fitting to bring the star aboard, to continue his streak of consecutive Wolverine appearances. The actor has confirmed numerous times thatWolverine 3, which is slated for release on June 24, 2025, will be his final performance as the beloved mutant Logan. It isn’t known what the production may have planned for the actor’s appearance inX-Men: Apocalypse, which is set in the year 1983, 10 years after the events of last year’sX-Men: Days of Future Past.

Production wrapped onX-Men: Apocalypseback in August, following a four-month shoot in Montreal, whereBryan Singeralso shotX-Men: Days of Future Past. UnlikeX-Men: First Class, whereHugh Jackmanmerely had a cameo appearance, the actor had a large role inX-Men: Days of Future Past, where he was last seen being dragged out of the Potomac River by Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), disguised asWilliam Stryker(Josh Helman). The rehoots are scheduled to take place in early 2016 in two separate Montreal studios for “a few weeks,” according to this report.

What’s interesting isJosh Helmanhas been confirmed to return as Stryker inX-Men: Apocalypse. It’s possible this movie could show the origins of William Stryker getting Wolverine to participate in the Weapon X program which gave him his adamantium claws, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. Regardless of whatHugh Jackmanwill be filming, it seems he will be back for his ninthX-Menmovie, followingX-Men(2000),X2: X-Men United(2003),X-Men: The Last Stand(2006),X-Men Origins: Wolverine(2009),X-Men: First Class(2011),The Wolverine(2013)X-Men: Days of Future Past(2014) and the upcomingWolverine 3.
