Wolverine 3 Villains Revealed?
Subscribe Now! ► http://bit.ly/SubClevverMovies
A major reveal for who and what Wolverine 3’s villain will be has dropped and we have all the details! Filming for Wolverine 3 has begun and we know…well basically nothing. What we have known for some time is that director
James Mangold and
Hugh Jackman would be teaming up for a final outing with the former
Weapon X, but beyond hints that the film’s story would potentially bare resemblance to the “
Old Man Logan” comics, we haven’t heard much, rumors or otherwise.
Recently though, producer
Simon Kinberg stated the film would take place in the future and will in fact be rated-R. This was great news for fans of the ultra-violent
Wolverine who hasn’t yet had the chance to go all out with beserker rage being previously held back by a
PG-13 rating. As far as casting, in addition to Jackman, we also know he’ll be joined by
Patrick Stewart as “
Professor Xavier” and
Richard E Grant will be playing some sort of mad scientist. We also know that
Boyd Holbrook will be playing a new, original villain created just for the film, described as an intense head of security for a global franchise, but thanks to
Nerdist News, we may now know who the ultimate threat against Wolverine will be. A quick warning before we continue, we will be covering some potential spoilers for both Wolverine 3 and
X-Men: Apocalypse, so proceed at your own risk.
Okay, so according to Nerdist’s sources, the criminal cyborgs known as “
The Reavers” will be
Logan’s primary foe in Wolverine 3. For those unfamiliar, Reavers are a team of humans with bionic implants that give them various powers and abilities
. In the comics, the Reavers are lead by a man named “
Donald Pierce”, a former member of
The Hellfire Club, a name you may remember as the main villains in
X-Men: First Class lead by
Kevin Bacon’s “
Sebastian Shaw”. Pierce organizes The Reavers into a team dedicated to eradicating the
Earth of mutants, specifically the
X-Men. This certainly sounds up the ally for a Wolverine movie and could fit into the future timeline of Old Man Logan with Pierce and his Reavers potentially filling the roles of the
Hulk Gang in that version of the story.
Knowing that Richard E Grant is playing a mad scientist, it doesn’t seem too far of a stretch to think he could be playing “Donald Pierce” himself, with Boyd Holbrook leading Pierce’s security force.
It’s possible that Pierce has even reformed The Hellfire Club for his own nefarious purposes. In the comics, Pierce makes use of several mutant members of The Hellfire Club and even recruits the female Wolverine clone known as “
X-23” amongst others. X-23 has long been rumored to be introduced in the film and is potentially teased in the end credit scene of
X-Men Apocalypse that shows an unknown figure taking a vial of blood labeled “Weapon X” and placing it in a briefcase labeled “
Essex Corp”
. X-Men fans will know that “Essex Corp” is run by “Nathanial
Essex”, also known as the fan favorite villain “
Mister Sinister”, a master manipulator and definitely a certified mad genius. It wouldn’t be too far out of the realm for Wolverine 3 to bend the rules and have Mister Sinister be involved in the Reavers’ creation or using that collected blood to create “X-23”. Of course, most of this is just speculation for now, but what do you think of Wolverine taking on The Reavers and could Richard E Grant be playing “Donald Pierce” or even “Mister Sinister”?
