James Mangold’s WOLVERINE: WEAPON X production heads to New Mexico.

SANTA FE, N.M. – The final installment of Hugh Jackman’s “Wolverine” will be shooting in New Mexico.

Under the working title “Juarez,” the film begins principle photography this month and work will continue through August in the Albuquerque area, Abiquiu and Chama.

The New Mexico Film Office says the production will employ about 130 New Mexico crew members, two New Mexico cast members and about 600 background talent.

The feature is directed by James Mangold, who also directed “The Wolverine” in 2013. Producers include Hutch Parker and Simon Kinberg, both of whom also worked on “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
