"X-Men: Apocalypse" will reveal another trailer that features Wolverine this week at CinemaCon. Hugh Jackman will make his appearance in the film before he stars in his solo film "Wolverine 3."
The trailer will be unveiled when 20th Century Fox takes the stage at CinemaCon on Thursday in Las Vegas. According to Heroic Hollywood, Fox Chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos, along with Co-Chairman Stacey Snider, will reportedly present the clip. It is believed the trailer will include exclusive footage of Wolverine that has not been seen in the past "X-Men: Apocalypse" trailer.
Apparently, movie director Bryan Singer decided to do some last minute changes to the movie to include Wolverine. Sources for the publication claimed Wolverine was not supposed to be in the film. But since "X-Men: Apocalypse" did some reshoots Singer decided to pitch the mutant's appearance to Jackman and the actor agreed.
Filming for Wolverine's scenes in the sequel was reportedly done hush-hush. So it was not confirmed until now that he will be in the movie. However, it has long been reported that the mutant will also appear in the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" sequel.
Last year Jackman was probably also in Montreal during the "X-Men: Apocalypse" filming, according to Cinema Blend. A leather goods company called KikaNY Leather Goods shared an Instagram photo of what appeared to be a leather duffel bag. The bag was supposedly ordered for use on the film set. By the looks of the item it would seem like something Logan aka Wolverine would use.
This clue that Wolverine would be in the film was further fuelled when the photo was taken down from Instagram. However, the company shared another image but this time did not caption it with anything related to "X-Men: Apocalypse."

Jackman's appearance in "X-Men: Apocalypse" comes ahead of his last portrayal as the clawed mutant in "Wolverine 3." The Australian actor has already announced he is retiring from the role, which he has portrayed for more than a decade.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" also stars returning casts James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) and Michael Fassbender (Magneto), to name a few. The film opens in theaters on May 27.
