Although production of "X-Men: Apocalypse" started last April, there is no official confirmation yet that Wolverine will make an appearance in the movie. However, a custom leather goods company from Brooklyn, KikaNY, has confirmed that Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as the clawed mutant in the follow-up to "X-Men: Days of Future Past".
KikaNY posted on its Instagram a picture of a design for a leather backpack. They have been asked to make a custom duffel bag for Jackman which he may use on the "Apocalypse" set. Another thing that can be inferred from the caption is that Jackman is currently in Montreal for the movie filming. "We were just asked to make a special duffle backpack for Hugh Jackman who is filming the new X MEN movie in Montreal," the company captioned the photo.
"We started sketching - The bag will be ready next week- we will keep you posted! #hughjackman #Xmen #movie #backpack #special," they continued. However, it is unclear if the backpack is for Jackman's personal use or will be used as the property in the movie.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" will be released May 27, 2016 across the States. Rumor has it, the film will center on Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Professor X (James McAvoy) who team up to fight a new and uniquely powerful enemy. Directed by Bryan Singer, the movie added new members like Ben Hardy, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Alexandra Shipp.
