According to moviepilot and other online sources such as the New Orleans news site, Nola.com, the feature film shooting in the NOLA area under the working title “Juarez” is in fact the third installment of  Marvel comic’s X-Men spin-off film series, “Wolverine“.

Hugh Jackman will be returning as Logan in  “Wolverine 3.”  The project is beginning production in the New Orleans, LA area and has multiple casting calls out for local talent to fill small paid roles as extras.  “Wolverine 3”  is being directed by James Mangold, who also directed “The Wolverine,” for Marvel studios. According to the film office, “Wolverine 3” called “Juarez” for now, begins filming in the area in just a few weeks with a tentative start date of May 2nd (According to the NOLA film office).

At the last Comic-Con in San Diego, Hugh Jackman mentioned that the upcoming movie would be his last and will be based on the “Old Man Logan” story from the comics. The story is set 50 years in the future when a married and retired Wolverine who finds himself sucked back into action. There have also been reports that the upcoming Marvel feature will not be a PG rated film. Seems following the success of the recent R-rated “Deadpool,” Marvel may be planning on the final installment of “Wolverine” to carry an R rating.
