'Wolverine 3' News & Updates: X-23 Confirmed? Hugh Jackman Set Photo Teases Young Laura Kinney

"Wolverine 3" rumors continue to point to the possible introduction of X-23. Fans simply couldn't stop talking about how the female Wolverine clone will finally debut in the film. But has Laura Kinney already been cast? It looks like Hugh Jackman is already shooting "Wolverine 3" with a young X-23!

The first X-23 rumors emerged a few months ago when a casting call for "Wolverine 3" was leaked. The third film is reportedly looking for a petite young woman around 21 years old (via SuperHeroHype).

A more recent casting call is looking for a younger girl between 11-14 years old who can act older than she truly is (via Youtube). The details also indicate that the character is temperamental and hasn't had any human contact. Read the excerpt of the character description below:

"Still a child, but a wounded badass, a pound puppy, raised in captivity in a time of battle, without support systems of normal childhood. She has no family and until now, has never left the compound in which she was born."

Just Jared has just shared new "Wolverine 3" set photos showing Hugh Jackman with a little costar. The images show a little girl wearing a bloody sweater.

Comic Book Movie was quick to point out that the young actress looks a lot like a pint-sized Laura Kinney. The bloody sweater might even indicate that she was shot but survived her injuries.

OK, if that's not X-23, then maybe Hugh Jackman will be babysitting a child-sized female Deadpool.

The villain in "Wolverine 3" has already been hinted upon in the "X-Men: Apocalypse" post-credits scene. The sequence shows a mysterious man taking the Weapon X DNA and placing it in a briefcase labeled "ESSEX CORP."

Fans are already speculating that "ESSEX CORP" is a reference to Nathaniel Essex, who eventually becomes Mister Sinister. The villain might be played by Richard E. Grant, who has previously been confirmed for "Wolverine 3."

Nathaniel Essex might also use the Weapon X DNA to create X-23, who spent most of her childhood being trained to be an assassin.

"Wolverine 3" is scheduled for release on March 3, 2017.
