Possible "The Wolverine 3" villains may have just revealed by The Nerdist. The site cites a source close to the production, revealing which characters Boyd Holbrook and Richard E. Grant will play in the third installment of "The Wolverine" film series.

According to the source, Boyd will play a "relentless, calculating... intense head of security for a global enterprise." He'll reportedly have assistance from Reavers, a group of cyborgs who've operated both as a gang of thieves and an elite military task force. Richard, meanwhile, will play mad scientist Donald Pierce. The source says that Reavers will be battling old man Logan (Hugh Jackman). Donald allegedly built Reavers to wipe out the mutants and some humans.

The Nerdist speculates that the "global enterprise" in Boyd's character description is the Hellfire Club, a bunch of elite, rich mutants who want to influence world events. Donald could be the group's new leader and the Reavers could possibly become their security crew.

Another possibility is that this "global enterprise" is the Essex Corp. run by Nathaniel Essex a.k.a. Mister Sinister as the Weapon X facility was seen in the post-credits scene of "X-Men: Apocalypse". There's also a rumor going around that X-23 will make her debut in "Wolverine 3".

According to the site, Liev Schreiber might be returning as Sabretooth.
