WOLVERINE 3 Is Rumored to Be Titled WEAPON X, First Footage Coming to Comic-Con
With X-Men: Apocalypse out of the way, fans are now eagerly awaiting the third and final Wolverine film with Hugh Jackman. It looks like we now have an official title for the film. according to GameZone, and their "reliable" sources, Wolverine 3 will be called Weapon X.
As most of you already know, Weapon X is the name of the secret government genetics research organization in the Marvel universe that captured Logan, took his memories, and grafted adamantium to his skeleton, basically turning him into one of the most lethal mutants ever.
The report goes on to say that the film’s title will be officially revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2016 and that they will show fan the first footage from the movie along with a poster. So that gives us something cool to look forward to!
The last time we saw Wolverine was in X-Men: Apocalypse when he violently murdered his way through Weapon X as he escaped. It was one of the best parts of the disappointing movie. Then, during the post-credits scene, we see the Essex Corporation taking possession of Weapon X's data, so having that play out in the upcoming Wolverine film seems to make sense. Two of the villains in the film are a mad scientist and some kind of corporate executive, both of which will most like be involved with the government organization.
The upcoming film is said to be inspired by Mark Millar’s Old Man Logan story arc. This features Logan living in a future world that has been taken over super villains. The movie is gunning for an R-rating, and so far we know that Jackman will be joined by Patrick Stewart and newcomers Stephen Merchant, Richard E. Grant, Eriq Lasalle, and Boyd Holbrook.
There is a good amount of other information that has leaked out regarding this film, all of which you can read about right here.
