WOLVERINE 3 Will Have R-Rated Violence and a Western-Style Tone

X-Men movie franchise producer Simon Kinberg recently confirmed with Collider that director James Mangold and Hugh Jackman have started shooting Wolverine 3. This will be the last time that we see Jackman in role of Logan, and it sounds like this movie is going to give him the perfect send-off.

According to Kinberg, this next film is going to stand out from all the previous installments. He explains that "it’s a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you’ve ever seen in any of these movies.”

When Patrick Stewart's involvement was brought up in the conversation, Kinberg doesn't confirm or deny his involvement. However, he does confirm that the film is going to be rated R and he reveals that it will be violent and explains that it will have a western-style tone.

“I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about that. I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumored to be a part of that film. It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It’s violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film.”

I love that this film will have a western tone to it because I love westerns. We previously learned that the film would be set in the future and that it is at least partially inspired by the Old Man Logan comic story arc, which takes place in a dystopian future where villains have taken over society. 

Wolverine 3 is set to hit theaters on March 3rd, 2017, and it seems like it's shaping up to be one of the most faithful film adaptations of the character yet.
