THE OFFICE Actor/Co-Creator Stephen Merchant Joins The Cast Of THE WOLVERINE 3
Following last night's casting news, it's now being reported that Stephen Merchant has also joined James Mangold's follow up to The Wolverine. And no, we don't know who he'll play either...
They seem to be lining up a bunch of lanky Brits for Logan to hack through in The Wolverine 3. Last night we found out that Richard E. Grant would play a "villainous mad scientist type" in James Mangold's movie, and now Deadline reports that Stephen Merchant (Hall Pass, Hot Fuzz, I Give It A year) will join him - though we know even less about the character he'll be playing.
And by less, we mean [frick] all. There are no details provided whatsoever, and because we can't nail down any specific comic arcs they're drawing from, speculating about who it could be is difficult, too.
Also starring are Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook and, of course, Hugh Jackman. The Wolverine 3 is to hit theaters on May 3, 2017.
