"Wolverine" 3 will see Professor X and Logan explore their dynamic father-son relationship. With "X-Men: Apocalypse" coming up and the third installment of the "Wolverine" franchise-shaping up, it looks like the X-Men franchise is alive and well.

In a report with Collider, actor Hugh Jackman did show some initial reluctance in coming back to play the titular character. This will reportedly be the last time Jackman will play the role of Wolverine so producers are determined that the story finishes off strong.

Jackman, who currently plays the villainous Blackbeard in "Pan" said in an interview that the script for "Wolverine" 3 is currently in development. Jackman didn't divulge any further details on the script other than James Mangold is expected to return to direct the upcoming film.

"I'll be really honest with you, the actual script in its full form we're up to about Page 60. Obviously there's a treatment, so it's not fully done yet, we're not fully there. Patrick does figure in it that's for sure. I think it's a really important relationship but I want to see signs of that quasi-father/son sort of relationship that has not been seen before, and sides of particularly Professor X that have not been seen before. So we have some really, really cool ideas," said Jackman in an interview.

Professor X and Wolverine have one of the most fostered relationships throughout the X-Men series. With Jackman planning to retire the Wolverine character soon, he said that he hopes that the upcoming stand-alone film will live up to many people's expectations and doesn't disappoint.

"I'm saying 'but' and I'm sounding a little cagey because this is the last time I'm playing him, and I have just made the commitment to myself, really and told everyone that until that script is perfect, until it is that perfect way to sign out, I'm not gonna start shooting. So that's why I don't wanna say 'Yes' for sure, because until Page 115, 120, whatever it is..." added Jackman.

IGN reported that Jackman does not hesitate to say that this will be his final role as Wolverine in the movie, which will see the debut of Sabertooth. Jackman shooting for the movie will start most likely next year.

"The ultimate plan is let's start shooting next year... I'm starting the training, I'm starting the eating and mentally really preparing for it. It's not just me, the studio as well-I'm trying to do something with this that's a little special, a little different. I've got a very, very strong idea of what that is. I really have known for quite a long time how I want to finish this sort of odyssey that I've been on, this amazing journey. And I won't let it fall anywhere in between. I won't fall short of it."  said Jackman.

"The Wolverine" 3 is expected to hit theaters on March 2017.
