Hugh Jackman CONFIRMED To Appear In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

Well, I think we all saw this coming! Despite the fact that Hugh Jackman has refused to reveal his involvement with Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past follow-up in recent interviews, an unexpected source has confirmed his involvement with X-Men: Apocalypse. Hit the jump for details...

It was always obvious that Hugh Jackman would have some sort of role in X-Men: Apocalypse, especially as X-Men: Days of Future Past finished with a pretty major cliffhanger in regards to his fate. Still, there has only ever been rumours about his involvement and never anything official. Well, thanks to Kika NY (a Brooklyn company specialising in custom leather goods), we now know that he will definitely make an appearance, and that he'll be sporting...a pretty cool backpack?!

We were just asked to make a special duffle backpack for Hugh Jackman who is filming the new X MEN movie in Montreal. We started sketching - The bag will be ready next week- we will keep you posted! #hughjackman #Xmen #movie #backpack #special

This obviously does't reveal too much about the movie, but it's good to know that Wolverine will be making an appearance. Will he have his Adamantium claws? Will he be one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen? That all remains to be seen, but be sure to share your thoughts and theories below!

Sad how he only has one more movie after this.

Dotanuki - 6/20/2015, 3:34 PM

....and they lose the gig for divulging that secret.

DallasAvenger - 6/20/2015, 3:34 PM

Uh oh.

DrKinsolving - 6/20/2015, 3:34 PM

Ah, dammit

LEVITIKUZ - 6/20/2015, 3:35 PM

Who's Hugh Jackman?

TheBeard - 6/20/2015, 3:35 PM

cameo in Deadpool please

PeterDarker - 6/20/2015, 3:35 PM

Did someone just get fired? I think someone just got fired.

DallasAvenger - 6/20/2015, 3:36 PM

It's always seemed so weird to me as to why Wolverine being in this movie would ever need to be any kind of secret.

FrozenDiamondz - 6/20/2015, 3:36 PM

They posted that 3 weeks ago...

FOX finna come down on them, hard

TheRationalNerd - 6/20/2015, 3:37 PM

I dunno, it could be another cameo done like First Class. But then again, it would make sense if he had a big role in this film because Mangold himself stated that Wolverine 3 wouldn't start production until after Apocalypse wraps up. Hugh will basically do what he did in 2013/2014 with Days of Future Past. Hop from one film right into the other while he's still fit.

I strongly hope we get a confirmation of exactly what storyline they'll be following Wolverine 3 with at SDCC.

SauronsBANE - 6/20/2015, 3:37 PM

I, for one, look forward to seeing this new Wolverine backpack.

TheManWithoutFear - 6/20/2015, 3:38 PM

Haha I love this. Like it never even occurred to them that this might be a secret.

SauronsBANE - 6/20/2015, 3:38 PM

It's not like this was supposed to be some sort of heavily-guarded secret anyway so I kind of doubt Fox gives a shit.

TheRationalNerd - 6/20/2015, 3:41 PM

There's just no stopping the Hughverine

MrAmerica - 6/20/2015, 3:43 PM

Finally it's been comfirmed, i've been waiting for him to appear in Apocalypse.

okay

Hulksta - 6/20/2015, 3:49 PM

Here I had my hopes up that we'd get an X-Men movie without Wolverine.

blackandyellow - 6/20/2015, 3:50 PM

I think this could be the best CBM next year. It definitely has the best villain.

Darkknight2149 - 6/20/2015, 3:52 PM

I doubt his role will be as big in this film as it was in previous films.

gambgel - 6/20/2015, 3:53 PM

that instagram post is 3 weeks old, why is this "news" now?

And this is not an official confirmation yet, tho we all know he will appear obviously, but still...

SageMode - 6/20/2015, 3:53 PM

Wolverine part 8

DrKinsolving - 6/20/2015, 3:56 PM

I was really looking forward to X-Men without Wolverine

Maybe it's just future Wolverine

Seeing, Sansa/Jean and Jackman/Wolverine in the 80's will be weird

FOOM - 6/20/2015, 3:58 PM

Come on. No one can be surprised about this.
