Two More Actors Join WOLVERINE 3 in Mystery Roles
It's been a busy few weeks for director James Mangold's Wolverine 3. They just cast Richard E. Grant as a mad scientist and British funnyman Stephen Merchant in a mystery role, and over the past couple of days, two more actors have joined the cast, also in mysterious capacities.
Variety reports that both Eriq La Salle (ER) and Elise Neal (The Hughleys, Hustle & Flow) have come on board, but plot details and details about both of their characters are being kept under lock and key.
Wolverine 3 will reportedly be star Hugh Jackman's final film playing the title mutant, and it's widely assumed that it will at least loosely follow the Old Man Logan storyline from the comics. Producer Simon Kinberg confirmed the story will take place in the future. We know Patrick Stewart's Professor X is coming back in a major way to further explore his relationship with Logan, Narcos star Boyd Holbrook has been cast as the main villain, X-23 is rumored to appear, Sabretooth may be coming back, and Wolverine may finally bust out the berserker rage. Wolverine 3 slashes its way into theaters on March 23, 2017.
Who do you think La Salle and Neal will play in the movie?
