>Stephen Merchant To Star With Hugh Jackman In ‘Wolverine 3’
>The Office co-creator Stephen Merchant has joined the cast of 20th Century Fox’s Wolverine 3, the latest in the Hugh Jackman-starring X-Men stand-alone franchise. Jackman has said this will be his last go-round as the character he began playing 17 years ago.
Turns out...little monkey fella'.

literally why
that is fucking god awful casting
>>68848717
>that is fucking god awful casting
no, he genuinely looks like some kind of mutant
> possibly a speaking role
Oh, then all bets are off
Lanky goggle eyed freak
an actual mutant
>>68848717
I agree, he's the worst possible choice for that role.
Didn't Karl just gawk at Stephen without saying anything when they first met?

Richard E Grant also has closed a deal to join the cast that already includes franchise staple Patrick Stewart and Narcos‘ Boyd Holbrook as the main villain.
>Wolverine gets perfect ending in DoFP
>Let's make another solo Wolverine movie!
What's the story there? He's a cool guy and all but they can't even do the X-men justice with all those characters, and instead they give Wolverine 3 of his own movies when he's already a big focus of 4 of in the series.
No one likes to pick on a mutant...
...Steve...

Old Man Logan
>>68848717
What role is he in?
How do you know it's awful casting if they haven't announced what character he's playing?
>>68850486
Mate you and I both know steve doesn't have the acting chops to be an x-men movie.
He might look like a mutant but he's typecast for a reason and the roles he's typecast for do not belong in the current x-men movies.
ESPECIALLY Wolverine.

It was cheaper to dress him as a tree than to animate a CGI Groot
>>68850259
Sounds awful.

>the acting chops to be an x-men movie
lol
Every single X-Men movie has 3-4 good theater actors at the lead, with a dozen tv-tier actors filling the supporting cast.
They can cast him as something like Cypher and he'll be fine.
>>68850454
It's Old Man Logan in name only since they can't use any of the supporting characters from the original story that aren't X-related (which is nearly all of them)
>>68850723
Well yeah you don't need to be a skilled actor but smerch can only really do the same old roles and I can't see them fitting into the movie really
That's my point and if you disagree with me then you're an idiot poo head

> Everyone gets perfect ending in DoFP
> Let's make more Xmen/Wolverine movies
He'll be playing some awkward character with a useless mutation who's there for a bit of comic relief and maybe a touch of plot convenience.
