DEADPOOL 3: Liev Schreiber Rumored To Reprise X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Role As Sabertooth

Another juicy Deadpool 3 rumor here, and this time it's being claimed that Liev Schreiber is set to reprise his X-Men Origins: Wolverine role as Victor Creed, aka Sabertooth...

If recent reports are to be believed, Deadpool 3 is really shaping up to be a jam-packed MCU debut for Ryan Reynolds' Merc With a Mouth, with multiple Variants of Wade Wilson (and possibly Logan), as well as several characters from 20th Century Fox's now defunct Marvel movie universe.

Now, we can add another to the list - and we have a feeling this one is going to stir up quite a bit of excitement.

According to insider Daniel Richtman (via Patreon), Liev Schreiber is set to reprise the role of Victor Creed/Sabertooth for the upcoming threequel.

The Ray Donovan actor only made one appearance as the animalistic villain in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and while the movie itself is generally regarded as sub-par (to say the least), Schreiber's performance is often hailed as one of the few highlights.

There was speculation that Schreiber may show up as Sabertooth in James Mangold's Logan, but the actor would later reveal that he was never approached. If this rumor proves accurate, fans are sure to appreciate seeing Jackman and Schreiber share the screen as "brothers" again.

We do know that Deadpool 3 is going to be quite similar to The Flash when it comes to its Multiverse elements, with Wilson and Wolverine dropping in on various alternate realities and timelines. Even if Sabertooth doesn't appear, it sounds like a lot of other cameos have been lined up, including several X-Men characters (Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey among them), and possibly even Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch as different Variants of Gambit.

Variants of the Merc With a Mouth are also rumored to appear, including Dogpool, Kidpool, Lady Deadpool, and more.

The one major return that has been confirmed by the trades is Jennifer Garner as Elektra, but it seems speculation that Ben Affleck would be joining her as Daredevil was unfounded.

X-Men Actor Reveals Why They're Not In Logan

Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) will all return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), whose roles are still under wraps.

Plot details also remain a mystery for now, but Wade and Wolvie are expected to find themselves (trapped?) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A recent report claimed that Loki's TVA, including Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Miss Minutes, will be involved. We have also been led to believe that Wade's MCU debut will be far more integral to Phase 5 and beyond than we first realized.

Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3, which is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2024.

@PlusUltra - He was fantastic. I'd love to see him again.

@PlusUltra - He was the best part of that movie. I’d also say that Reynolds played a good Wade at the beginning. In fact, the first half of the movie was ok, then it went off the rails.

@mountainman - I would 💯 agree with that. I actually like the movie.. even though it is highly flawed

I mean, I liked his performance but hated his look.

@TheVandalore - They have Wolverine the iconic suit. My guess is whatever Fox characters show up will have iconic looks.

I won't believe any of the rumored cameos until I see the movie. Hopefully the storyline is good because so far it's sounding like a cameo fest.

I just want to know if I can start a clickbait (rumor) article and post it.

Because (seriously) it seems since most of these, "rumors" are bullshit (clickbait), people are just making this shit up and spreading it around for clickbait purposes.

And the ones that ARE true end up being spoilers.

So, if I can do what some others are doing and just make this shit up, the "rumors" can be fun and NOT spoilers.

In a related story, unreliable scooper MyTimeForShinyToastH just posted on baselessDeadpoolRumors.com that "DP3" will also include cameos from John Wick, Condor-man, Daniel Craig as both James Bond AND Baldur, ALF, Darkman, The Greatest American Hero, and Carole Ann from the Poltergeist movies.

@Floke - The One and Only. Damn, they really did ALF dirty in that video. That did NOT look consensual at all. Now, if Willie didn't want ALF to squirm so my he should have put Mr. Meatloaf in a sock made up to look like a cat. Here, I have one he can borrow. Ehhh... let me was it first.

He was the best part of a terrible movie, so... I'm very much in favor of him being in this movie.

MotherGooseUPus - 9/6/2023, 7:33 PM
I'm all for this. He was amazing in the movie... and I actually don't mind this movie at all. I know it's not that good by anymeans but the first half was pretty great and I'd say it's better than BoP, Venom2, WW 84, Black Adam, Morbius

Good. Thought it was a missed opportunity to not bring him back for Logan in some capacity, even a flashback.

The worst part about these multiverse movies is how you can throw any shit against the wall and hope it will stick.

Really great in role. Convincing as an out of control maniac but manipulative and sinister as well.

@hue66 - I thought he was the highlight of the movie.

I thought he was great as sabertooth but I think his brother would be an awesome sabertooth especially given how tall Pablo is

@MarkCassidy

I mean i agree with you that the movie will be moved from may 3rd (a date that Captain America 4 will take), but it isn't official yet. ;-)

He definitely should've been in Logan. Would've been so good.
