4. Wolverine Will Turn Up With A *Snikt*
Bit of a confusing one this, so stay with me. Whilst Jackman hasnt actually been confirmed as appearing as Wolverine in X-Men: Apocalypse its a pretty safe bet that hell make at least a short cameo. The fact is hes appeared in every X-Men film so far, not to mention two solo movies (and its always best not to mention X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and even made a very succinct one line cameo in First Class when he told Erik to Go f**k yourself. Fans rejoiced earlier this year when leather goods brand KikaNY posted designs for a duffle backpack on Instagram with an excited caption stating, We were just asked to make a special duffle backpack for Hugh Jackman who is filming the new X MEN movie in Montreal. Naturally the people of the internet pushed the big button marked wild speculation and suddenly it was confirmed that Jackman would be popping his claws once again. He had to be, right? Well, not quite. KikaNY later backtracked and claimed that the bag was for Jackmans personal use rather than being a prop for the movie, although that could easily be a feint brought on by studio pressure. After all, Singer likes to make his own announcements and leaks, not have somebody else make them for him. All of this doesnt mean that Logan is any less likely to appear in X-Men: Apocalypse before Hugh Jackman hangs up his claws at the end of the planned third Wolverine film, in fact it could make it more likely. For start his appearance in First Class was a very tightly guarded secret, and that was when nobody was expecting him to crop up, so if he was to cameo again itd be unlikely to be announced beforehand. Theres also the fact that production is about to start on a series of reshoots and pick ups, so if someone like Jackman needed to be brought in quietly now would be the perfect time.
