Hugh Jackman Wants To See Father-Son Relationship With Prof. X In ‘Wolverine 3’
Wolverine 3 is the final time that Hugh Jackman will play the title character and marks the end of Bryan Singer’s X-Men saga. Little is known about the film’s plot, the actor has teased a few ideas he would like to see in the hero’s sequel. Rumors of an Old Man Logan storyline have been circulating for quite a while, even Jackman seemed to hint at it at SDCC earlier this year. But nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
No other actors have been added to the cast yet, but it seems that Patrick Stewart‘s role in the sequel is bigger than originally thought. According to Jackman, Professor X may play a father figure role to Logan in the upcoming movie. Find out what he had to say about it in the story here below.

In Episode 1 (see our full review, we are introduced to Walter Blunt, played by the magnificent Patrick Stewart. Blunt is a cable news host with an addiction problem. In just the show’s first 30-minutes we witnessed him ingest alcohol, Ambien, cocaine, speed, and marijuana chocolate. Suffice to say, these things have an adverse affect on him. He is pulled over and charged with solicitation, drunk driving, and assaulting a police officer. When he gets to interview himself (yep, you read that right) live on the air, he begs for forgiveness only to pass out on air.

Blunt Talk
Season 1 Episode 1: “I Seem to be Running Out of Dreams for Myself”
Directed by Tristram Shapeero
Created and written by Jonathan Ames
Starring Patrick Stewart, Adrian Scarborough, Richard Lewis, Jacki Weaver, Timm Sharp, Dolly Wells, Karan Soni, Mary Holland
Starz
Air Date: Saturday, August 22nd, 2015, 9:00pm
Walter Blunt is a little bit of Will McAvoy from Newsroom, with the addictions and demons of Dr. House, and a lifestyle straight out of Shameless. If you like any or all of these shows, then Blunt Talk may just be for you. Patrick Stewart is Walter Blunt, the host of nightly cable news show who is dangerous addicted to… well, pretty much anything. As we learn in the first episode of Starz’s new half hour comedy (free now on Starz), Blunt is a 4x divorcee, estranged father, who is constantly supplied fresh flasks of alcohol and drugs from his manservant and best friend Harry (Adrian Scarborough). Despite the seriousness of the addictions, and his arrest early in the episode, Stewart is absolutely hilarious and believable in the role, and I was laughing constantly. The show was created and written by Jonathan Ames (Bored to Death) and is executive produced by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane amongst others.
Watch the Blunt Talk featurette below, and beware of spoilers!

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen Won’t Return For ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, former friends turned bitter enemies on screen but the best of friends in the world in real life, will not be reprising their respective roles of Professor Charles Xavier and Erik “Magneto” Lehnsherr in X-Men: Apocalypse, the next mega-budget installment in 20th Century Fox’s blockbuster franchise based on the popular Marvel Comics characters.
In a recent interview on Larry King Now, Stewart, who has played the part of Professor X in every X-movie except for 2011’s X-Men: First Class (he made brief appearances in both of the solo Wolverine features), was asked the inevitable question of whether there would be a place for him in Apocalypse. His response is bound to break the hearts of more than a few longtime fans of the series:
