Eriq La Salle joins Wolverine 3 in mystery role

May 5, 2016 by James Garcia

According to Variety, another mystery role has been added to James Mangold’s Wolverine 3, this time to be filled by ER and Coming to America actor Eriq La Salle.

Unfortunately, that’s all the news we have at this time. But, more news should hopeful arrive soon, as this is just the latest casting update for the mutant threequel. La Salle joins recent additions Stephen Merchant (Extras, Hello Ladies) – who is also occupying a mystery role – and Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I), who will play an as-yet-unidentified mad scientist.

Directed by Mangold, Wolverine 3 brings back Hugh Jackman for his last outing as Logan, and reunites him with fellow X-Men alum Patrick Stewart. They’re joined by Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) as the film’s villain (who is, again, a mystery). The sequel  will arrive on March 3, 2017.
