Some New Wolverine 3 Info (Updated)

One of the first things Logan (Hugh Jackman) says is "frick." Seeing as how the MPAA only allows two before they slap an R rating on movies -- stupid as that may seem -- I think this solidifies the fact that Wolverine 3 will be an R-rated affair.

The fights in this movie are going to be grounded, realistic, and full of consequences. As Mangold lays out in the liner notes of the script, "People will get hurt or killed when shite falls on them. ... Should anyone in our story have the misfortune to fall off a roof or out a window, they won't bounce. They will die." So the physicality of most comic-book blockbusters is on hold for Wolverine 3, which also negates a lot of what happened in, say, X-Men: Origins -- Wolverine, where Logan was indestructible.

Wolverine's older. And an alcoholic. He drinks because his healing powers are fading, so he's in a constant state of pain. This confirms, to a certain extent, that Wolverine 3 will attempt some version of the Old Man Logan storyline, though one that likely differs from the traditional comic-book story.

He also might not survive, as Mangold writes, "So by all means, go ahead and worry about him."

Following our first official look at Stephen Merchant as Caliban in James Mangold's Logan earlier today, the actor has posted another somewhat unsettling glimpse of himself in full makeup (though obscured by a mask) as the Morlock character.
