Wolverine 3 Villian Announced And Teaser Trailer Coming Soon

So can you guess who the villain's going to be?  Oh, right.  The picture gave it away...

Let's go back to the post credits scene in X-Men: Apocalypse for a brief moment.  After the movie had finished and the credits finished rolling, there was a scene that showed a man walking through the Weapon X facility carrying a briefcase.  He walked to the room that contained the files on Wolverine, looked at some x-rays, and took a vial of Wolverine's blood.  He put the vial into the briefcase, along with other vials.  The name "Essex Corp" and it's logo was revealed to be on the briefcase.

This post credit scene got a lot of people talking.  It was assumed that this meant that Mr. Sinister was going to be the villain in the next X-Men movie.  The reason being is that the founder of Essex Corp. is Nathan Essex, who, in the comic books, is also Mr. Sinister.  Fans were half-right in what they concluded.  Mr. Sinister is going to be the villain in the next movie, however that movie isn't going to be the next X-Men movie, but rather Wolverine 3.  Yeah, I know, Wolverine is an X-Men, so technically it's an X-Men movie.  You know what I mean. 

Nathan Essex, a.k.a. Mister Sinister, became one of the most powerful mutants on the planet by experimenting on other mutants.  In the comics, Apocalypse actually had a hand in Essex becoming who is and in Sinister becoming his new name.  Although the movie doesn't hint at the two ever having met or even knowing each other, that could be fixed in the upcoming Wolverine movie.

Now that the movie has finished filming and is going through all of it's final editing, James Mangold is teasing that possibly by the end of September we could be getting our first look at the last Wolverine movie.  Considering that 2016 is quickly coming to a close, and the new Wolverine movie is supposed to be released in March of next year, one would expect to start seeing quite a bit for this movie in the closing months.  Heck, maybe we'll even find out what the movie will be called, since Wolverine 3 isn't it's official title, just what everyone writing about it has been calling it.

So what do you think?  Are you getting pumped up for the first R-rated Wolverine movie that will be the last one for Hugh Jackman to appear in?  Let me know your thoughts about the film in the comments section down below.

Wolverine 3 is due to hit theaters on March 3, 2017.
