Kinberg also once said that his Fantastic Four reboot was a “good movie” so the verdict is out on just how “cool” and “different” this upcoming Wolverine movie will be. This film’s R rating (or, at least it’s aim for an R rating) may be viewed as a response to Deadpool’s massive success earlier this year, but Jackman has been openly campaigning for an R-rated Wolverine film for years.
Beyond Jackman and Stewart, the film also stars Boyd Holbrook, Eriq La Salle, Stephen Merchant and Richard E. Grant.
He wasn’t quite right on that last part, but he certainly was right about the future of his character.
He told MTV in 2011, “If there’s ever going to be a superhero that is going to be R-rated, it’s going to be Wolverine.”
