10 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (May 3rd)
6. Stephen Merchant Is The Wolverine 3's Comic Relief
This week saw one of the most peculiar casting announcements in recent blockbuster memory, as King of the Cringe himself, Stephen Merchant, was cast in an unspecified role in Hugh Jackman's final outing as Logan, The Wolverine 3.
We know that Richard E. Grant recently joined the cast as a "mad scientist" character, so we're betting that Merchant will play his sidekick, and considering Merchant's penchant for awkward comedy, he's most likely going to provide some very strange comic relief during the movie.
Don't be surprised if it's a small part, though, because Merchant could very easily distract from any seriousness the movie attempts to muster otherwise. Still, fascinating casting all the same.
