Production on Hugh Jackman’s final WOLVERINE<\/a> film is gearing up soon with director James Mangold at the helm. Superhero Hype<\/a> believes it knows of one popular character that will show up. According to the site, mutant Laura Kinney aka X-23<\/a><\/strong> will make her onscreen debut, joining Logan\/Wolverine and previously announced<\/a> Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier in an adventure which takes place at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

The character, who was cloned from a damaged copy of Wolverine’s genome, was originally created by writer Craig Kyle for the X-Men: Evolution animated series before debuting in the NYX comic series in 2004. Like Wolverine,she has a regenerative healing factor, superhuman strength, senses, speed, agility, and reflexes. She also has retractable adamantium-coated bone claws in her hands and feet. Created to be the perfect killing machine, she proved herself a capable assassin working for an organization called the Facility. More recently, the character succeeded her “father” in adopting the name and costume of Wolverine.<\/p>\n

If true, it will be interesting to see who producers decide to cast in the role. My top choice is “Kingsman” actress Sofia Boutella<\/a>, who has the talent and physicality to pull off this complicated and badass character.<\/p>\n

The film is currently scheduled for release on March 3, 2017.<\/p>\n
