'Wolverine 3' officially titled 'Logan'

The upcoming third installment of "Wolverine", featuring Hugh Jackman in the title role, has been officially titled "Logan".

The official title and poster for the film were unveiled by Jackman on Twitter on Wednesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"Logan" has been named after the original name of Jackman's mutant character. The poster shows a young hand holding the hero's clawed one.

On top of that, director James Mangold shared on Twitter a page from the script. It gives a more detailed information on the old Logan story that will be adapted into the film. It also teases his fight with a group called The Bangers.

"He's older now and it's clear his abilities aren't what they once were. He's fading on the inside and his diminished healing factor keeps in him in a constant state of chronic pain - hence booze as a painkiller," the superhero is described.

"Logan" is slated to release on March 3, 2017.
