Wolverine Future

Producer Simon Kinberg has revealed that The Wolverine 3 will be set in the future of the X-Men movies timeline.

Kinberg let the news slip while speaking to cinemablend, saying, "The Wolverine movie takes place in the future."

Fans mostly assumed that the new movie, which will be Hugh Jackman's final performance as the titular character, would take place further along the timeline than any of the other X-Men movies, mostly due to the inclusion of Patrick Stewart's Professor X.

The confirmation would seem to backup rumors that The Wolverine 3 will be inspired by the story "Old Man Logan," by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. That story took place in a dystopian future where the villains had finally won, and Mysterio had tricked Wolverine into murdering the X-Men.

The cast of The Wolverine 3 recently grew, adding Boyd Holbrook as the film's villain.
