As many fans..and even non fans of "X Men Origins: Wolverine" are well aware, Schreiber's turn as Victor Creed was by far the highlight of the movie. So its unfortunate that the talented actor may not be returning for future movies.
Speaking to Cinema Blend Schreiber had this to say...
“I’m over 40 now, and do I really want to go through the physical stuff that it took to pull that off again? I’m not so sure.”
Cinema Blend’s Katey Rich made a good point on this, saying that Schreiber may not have much of a choice, assuming he’s signed to a multi-picture contract (which is pretty standard for these genre movies at Fox Studios).
That being said, if he doesn’t want to come back, its doubtful his friend Hugh Jackman would force his return as a contractual obligation.
Continuing his thoughts on the Wolverine sequel, Schreiber said,
“As an audience member, I’d be really interested to see how you’d go from the Liev Schreiber Victor Creed to the Tyler Mane Victor Creed [from X-Men]. So I’d like to see that.”
Wouldn't we all want to see the chimps with typewriters at Fox come up with a story on that one!
I really hope Schreiber does decide to come back as Creed, if Jackman can do it, so can he!
