Director Brett Ratner confirmed the statement, adding that there will be no more films except for possible spin-offs based on the characters of Wolverine and Magneto.
"Well, it seems to be the last of the series," says Ratner of the title for X3. "We wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made together like Lord of the Rings, this is really closure for the X-Men series... This is the last stand for sure."
Development for the Wolverine and Magneto spin-offs are already under way, according to Marvel Studios head Avi Arad.
The Last Stand is due in theatres May 26.
