The actor has previously talked about this potential team-up between Hugh Jackman’s Logan and his Xavier, but now in an interview with Collider , Stewart has provided some insight into the film.“There is a project in development,” he said. “I understand that Professor Xavier will be making more than an appearance, however, and that intrigues me.”Hmmm. “More than an appearance”? That sounds like this isn’t just a cameo like the one Stewart and Ian McKellen had in The Wolverine. As for what Wolverine 3 will be about, we’re still not sure, though all signs continue to point to an adaptation of the Old Man Logan story from the comics. Stewart even jokes about that in his chat with the site, which you can check out right here Interestingly, this means that Stewart will have made appearances in all three standalone Wolverine movies.The Wolverine director James Mangold will return for Wolverine 3. But in the meantime, Stewart has his new show Blunt Talk debuting next week on Starz.
