It is fair to say that fan excitement for a sequel to Wolverine's solo flick is evenly split. Half are ready to see Jackman take on Logan's complex story set in Japan, the other half just want to forget the first movie ever existed. Regardless of where they side, comic movie fans have consistently mentioned that Liev Schreiber's performance as Sabertooth is definitely one of the first film's highlights. With Hugh Jackman's recently commenting that he and the production crew are gearing up for the sequel, the question remains if Victor Creed will be a part of the film.
But how does Schriber feel about returning to the franchise? MTV recently posed the question to him:
"Hugh [Jackman] has talked about the fact that he wants to work on the Japanese angle," said Schreiber,
"I’ve got my fingers crossed that Victor pops into that somewhere. I’m not sure yet. I don’t remember from the comic books [if he’s in there]."
He might be vague on that aspect of the comic character's past, but Schreiber is no stranger to reading comics; especially when he was growing up.
"I was definitely a Wolverine guy growing up. But I also have to admit I was kind of a DC guy. It’s sort of an embarrassing thing to say but its true. Wolverine was up there though. I liked the dark noir nature to it. I had a ball with it. My guilty pleasure is I watch wacky action movies. I’m looking forward to 'Iron Man 2.' I’m always looking forward to the next installation of Batman."
MPP - Considering how much I disliked X-O:Wolverine, I'm not looking forward to the sequel at all. But if Schreiber has a decent sized role in it, my excitement would definitely begin. He perfectly portrayed Sabertooth and it would be a waste for them to disregard the best actor in that film.
