Hugh Jackman has apparently revealed the name of his eagerly anticipated third Wolverine film – Logan.
The Aussie heartthrob has wrapped the movie – which marks his ninth, and last, outing as the X-Men character – but had been keeping its name quiet.

Hugh first played the mutant with claws in 2000’s X-Men.
On Twitter, fans of the franchise seem to like the straightforward title.

Absolutely love the title and poster of the new Wolverine movie. Mangold gets this character like James Cameron got The Terminator.
