Boyd Holbrook In Talks To Be Wolverine 3’s Villain

Hugh Jackman has suggested that after the next Wolverine movie he’ll be done with the character (although he’s said that before), so if this is his swansong, you’d hope he’d have a good baddie to fight against. Now we may know who’ll be playing that villain, as Deadline reports that Narcos star Boyd Holbrook is in talks for the role.

Not a vast amount is known about who Holbrook will be playing, and there’s not too much point speculating as it appears that rather than finding someone from the comics, Holbrook will play an original character who’s causing Wolverine some trouble. However, it has been revealed he’ll be ‘a relentless, calculating and intense head of security for a global enterprise’.

James Mangold will once more direct the movie, which is currently set for release March 2017. The movie will also see Patrick Stewart return as the older Professor Xavier.
