Patrick Stewart's role in the next Wolverine film to be more than just a cameo?

During a recent interview with Collider, shiny-headed thesp and all-round legend Patrick Stewart took a break from talking about his upcoming series Blunt Talk, to address the rumour that he would appear in the next Wolverine movie.

Stewart confirmed his involvement, and even suggested that Professor's X's role in the closing chapter of Jackman's Wolverine saga would be more than just a fly-by cameo.

"There is a project in development," confided Stewart. "I understand that Professor Xavier will be making more than an appearance, however. That intrigues me."

Sadly, Stewart was unable to confirm whether, as rumoured, the film would be based on the fan-favourite Old Man Logan storyline. He did, however, seem to relish the idea of seeing co-star Hugh Jackman sporting a few wrinkles. 

"I'm really looking forward to Hugh Jackman getting old," Stewart said. "Damn him! He looks so great. I'm hoping to see him covered in prosthetics. He'll make me look better if that's the case."
