'X-Men: Apocalypse' to Reshoot in Montreal with Hugh Jackman Participating?

Hugh Jackman could appear for the seventh time in a superhero franchise.

According to IGN, the production team for the upcoming ninth X-Men installment is rumored to be heading off to Montreal in Canada for a few weeks for reshoots. With the reshoots reportedly to take place at Mel's studio early next year, there are talks suggesting that star of the 2013 "The Wolverine" Hugh Jackman will be there to join the filming for his role as Wolverine.

Le Journal de Montreal was said to be the first to break the news about Hugh Jackman's participation in the reshoot but, 20th Century Fox has not made any statement yet to confirm his participation in the upcoming superhero film titled "X-Men: Apocalypse."

Being one of the most iconic members of the X-Men, there is a big possibility that Wolverine will be part of the upcoming X-Men film but the studio seems to be keeping a tight lid on this. According to Coming Soon, a certain NY-based leather goods producer named Kika NY took to Instagram to announce that the company has been hired to produce a customer bag for Hugh Jackman in June but the original post has reportedly been removed at the studio's request.

On the brighter side, "X-Men: Apocalypse" Director Bryan Singer has confirmed that a trailer is coming soon for the movie. The director took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and editor John Ottman that has been taken from what appears to be an editing room. The Instagram post was captioned, "Back in the cutting room w #johnottman teaser coming soon."
