Will Hugh Jackman Appear in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE After All?

Hugh Jackman has made it very clear that the last time he'll be donning the adamantium claws of Logan/Wolverine is going to be in director James Mangold's next Wolverine solo movie. But how about one more quick appearance before that film gets underway?

Jackman's participation (or lack thereof) in Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse has been the source of a bunch of rumors and speculation over the past few months, and the actor has hinted at maybe popping up in the new movie, but we still haven't received any hard evidence that he'll show up. Now Le Journal De Montreal is reporting that Jackman "will be on hand" for some planned reshoots of the film, seemingly confirming his involvement with the production.

But how big will his role be? Will this be another X-Men: First Class scenario, in which he shows up for only a quick cameo? Or, coming off of the very Wolverine-heavy Days of Future Past, will Singer continue that trend and include him in a larger capacity? Or might he even be just showing up for a post-credits scene that leads into the next Wolverine movie, much like how The Wolverine ended with a teaser for Days of Future Past? We don't have answers to those questions, but the fact that he's going to be on set should be enough for fans of the character to get their hopes up a little bit. X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27, 2016.

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
