Hugh Jackman Talks X-Men Apocalypse, Next Wolverine Solo Movie

Hugh Jackman played a significant role in X-Men: Days of Future Past as Wolverine, who travelled back in time to prevent the extinction of all mutants. The sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse, is due out in 2016. But will Jackman be a part of it?

The actor has appeared in every X-Men film to date, and the character never ages, so it would be easy for Bryan Singer to work him into the film, even in a cameo as in X-Men: First Class. Jackman spoke to MTV's Josh Horowitz on the latter's Happy Sad Confused podcast about a potential appearance in the next movie. "I have been speaking to the guys, and I'm not at liberty to tell exactly what's going on," he said, "which is largely framing my answer here. But there's still a lot unknown about that, actually, There are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There's some really cool things going on."

So that's a bit of a non-answer there, but many fans would be stunned if Jackman did not show up in some capacity in Apocalypse. As for the next solo Wolverine movie due out in 2017, Jackman said he has been "working on it really hard" with writer David James Kelly.
