We already know that the next Wolverine film would most likely get an R-rating after a user posted a photo of a poster with the information on Reddit, but now we have newer and verified information about the film once again. Narcos' Steve Murphy, actor Boyd Holbrook, has been cast as Wolverine 3's main villain.

That would also mean that Holbrook would be the last villain to go head to head with Hugh Jackman's Logan or Wolverine because the Australian actor already said that the 2017 Wolverine film will be the last time he would take on the role.

Wolverine fought ninjas, samurais, the yakuza and a very frustrated and power hungry Ichirō Yashida —
who was after Logan's healing abilities — in the 2013 film The Wolverine. In the next Wolverine film, however, it seems Logan will be facing something less personal and affects more of the mutant population.

According to Variety, Holbrook's still unnamed villain role is the head of security for a global corporation and he would be the person leading the pursuit of the adamantium-clawed mutant. The question running in our minds now is if that "global corporation" is the threat that Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto, was talking about at the end of The Wolverine.

One other thing is for sure, though. Sir Patrick Stewart has also reportedly signed on to reprise his role as Professor Charles Xavier for the film.

David James Kelly is responsible for Wolverine 3's script and James Mangold will be sitting in the director's chair one again.

Perhaps we will hear more of the casting news for Wolverine 3 in the coming days and weeks because production is already scheduled to begin in May, with the aimed theatrical release on March 3, 2017.
