Looks Like Liev Schreiber Really Might Return As 'Sabertooth' For THE WOLVERINE Sequel

Hugh Jackman mentioned that it was something a lot of fans wanted to see, but now a Twitter exchange between the two actors might just hint at Schreiber's Victor Creed reprisal

Though X-Men Origins: Wolverine is pretty much universally despised, the general consensus seems to be that Liev Schreiber's Victor Creed/Sabertooth was one of its saving graces. Recently Hugh Jackman asked fans what they most wanted to see from his final go-around as the clawed mutant, and Schreiber returning as Creed was up there at the top of the list. Could we really see it happen? Well, check out this Tweet.


Now there is going to be a lot of assumptions here. We can assume Jackman is training for an upcoming role, we can assume that role is Logan in James Mangold's follow up to The Wolverine, and unless Schreiber is joking around (which is also a possibility of course), we can assume he's talking about joining him.

These guys don't have any projects in the pipeline that they'll be appearing in together (that we know of), so though this is not exactly what you'd call evidence that they'll be re-teaming for the final Wolverine flick, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. What do you think?

Schreiber is the best (and arguably only good) part of Origins. Hopefully he'll be back.

This would be a very good thing for the movie, if this happens and the premise shows some potential, I might actually take interest in the movie.

I'd love to see him come back for sure.

I hope so. Like I said yesterday, Liev Schreiber is one of the better parts to the stinker that is X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Origins sucked but he was a great Sabertooth.

Hell yeah! He was one of the 3 good things about Origins

So are they washing their hands of Origins or not? Why can't they make up their mind?

Liev is a great actor, my problem is that he looks small alongside Huge Jackedman

Only if he's blood thirsty SaberTooth... None of this anti hero team up crap. He's a villain and he's a killer, I want to see Wolverine depacitate SaberTooth.

That beginning montage of Wolverine and Sabertooth going through all the wars was some surprisingly great stuff. Practically everything in that movie that revolved around those two was good. I'm 110% in favor of Fox giving Liev Schreiber another shot at the character.

Also, go watch "Defiance" with Daniel Craig and Schreiber (and Jamie Bell too, funny enough). The guy can act.

Liev is great. He was great in the Scream movies (my absolute favourite horror franchise), he was awesome in Goon, and he was a supremely bad ass Sabertooth. Bring him back Mangold!!!

Does anyone here watch Ray Donovan? Is it worth checking out? I've heard mixed things...

He also was the narrator for those HBO "24/7" episodes, specifically the ones about the lead-up to the NHL Winter Classic. Dude's got a great voice too haha

@Mercwithmouth

Any show you have enough interest in to research reviews and ask others if it's worth checking out, IS worth checking out. Devote an hour and see if the first episode makes you want to see more.

Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth was the only good part of that movie, so yeah make it happen.

@dubjon "small alongside Hugh Jackman"? Liev is taller than Jackman and is by no means a small dude. Perhaps not as ripped as Jackman, but I doubt he'll ever be small alongside him.

I think Sabertooth is awesome as a supporting character, but not as a main villain

they need to make him look more like the Sabretooth in X-Men 1

My only thing with Schreiber is he looked small next to Jackman. But that goes along with the "Jackman is too tall for Wolverine" argument that died years ago.
