Hugh Jackman has revealed the title of the film via a social post of a billboard: Logan. Just Logan. There’s also what appears to be a child’s hand in the billboard, but whose? Check out the full poster below!

Plus, in a move rather unprecedented for a highly-secretive event movie, director James Mangold has used his Twitter account to post a page from the Wolverine 3 script!

So what did we learn from this page? Well, for starters, it will most definitely be rated “R,” as the screenplay makes clear with an F-bomb, some graphic violence (someone goes after Logan with a drill!) and some very direct language stating that when people get hurt in this movie they die. There’s a reference to soft-pedaling in 2013’s The Wolverine, specifically the scene of Logan throwing a guy out the window and him landing in a pool. So the CG fight screens should be way less than in the past.
The Logan cast also includes Patrick Stewart, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez. The new film will mark the ninth time that Hugh Jackman has played the character on the big screen. James Mangold is directing from a script by David James Kelly. Look for it in theaters on March 3, 2017.
