Liev Schreiber he made his debut as Victor Creed aka Sabretooth in the 2009 film The Origins of the X-Men: Wolverine. She was actually a great choice for that role! She made a Sabertooth badass and put in a solid performance. I actually liked how certain aspects of the story utilized the character and it would have been nice to see Schreiber play him again.
During a recent interview with GQ, the actor revealed why he didn’t return to the part for the 2017 film Logan. The actor simply wasn’t asked to return because the character wasn’t a part of the story, but Schreiber would have been happy to return if they wanted. He said:
“They didn’t ask me. No, I mean, I don’t think she was part of that story, you know? He wasn’t part of that story. I would have loved to bring Victor back, anytime, anywhere, but he wasn’t a part of that narrative. I wonder if I’m getting a little long in the tooth, so to speak, but probably not for Sabretooth.
I’d actually still love to see Schreiber play Sabertooth again, and it would be fun to see him appear in Deadpool 3but that probably won’t happen.
Schreiber’s portrayal of Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was considered one of the film’s highlights. Schreiber’s performance brought depth, poignancy and complexity to the character, elevating Sabertooth beyond just a one-dimensional villain.
One of the key things that made Schreiber great in the role was his physicality. Sabertooth is a ferocious and savage mutant with animalistic traits, and Schreiber has fully embraced this aspect, showcasing his commanding presence. His imposing stature and muscular build made Sabertooth physically formidable, and Schreiber’s performance captured Sabertooth’s predatory nature and animalistic instincts.
The actor also brought a sense of twisted morality and conflicting emotions to the character, giving him layers and effectively portrayed Sabertooth’s complex relationship with Wolverine, conveying a mix of underlying rivalry, camaraderie and brotherhood.
What do you think of Schreiber as Sabertooth? Would you like to see him play the character again?
