Liev rocks him some mutton chops and a set of crazy nails!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. A relatively newer site by the name of flynetonline.com got their hands on some more Wolverine set pics including some good shots of Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth. Oh goodie! Check out three of the pics below and click on any of them to take you to see more!
Can't say he doesn't look better than Tyler Mane in X-MEN. And he's definitely a better actor (not to knock on Mane... he didn't have much to do in the first movie). I can't wait to see Wolvie and Sabretooth as played by Jackman and Schreiber tangle a bit. You?

It's the pot-bellied Sabertooth.
-
Fuck this site. Fuck me too.
-
Great casting. Good to see him in character. Although he does look a bit like Shaw here. I hope to hell this is good.
-
How come Jackman gets all the ladies?? Maybe this will help Schreiber find his motivation to hate Jackman's character. That and choking on an apple.
-
But he's just not Wolverine! He would make a perfect Alan Quarteramne or James Bond but even Bob Hoskins or Danny Devito would make a better Logan.
-
those pics are funny. jackman's like 'hey bitches touch me here, and here, and oooh yes you can touch me there' and liev is like 'i like jello!'
-
Liev doesn't resemble Sabretooth in the slightest... not to knock his acting skills. I understand that Jackman isn't EXACTLY Wolverine, either, but Sabretooth is supposed to be fucking huge. Not to mention breaking all sense of continuity with the first "X-Men." Perhaps some post-production after they undergo some Weapon X craziness? I'll withhold final judgment...
-
Less is more i guess. He just doesnt look as grand as a sabretooth with a long blonde mane. i want some curly looks. maybe a mullet, if there's an 80s, early 90s sequence!
-
Shit, couldn't they have put him on a Total Gym at least?
-
"curly LOCKS". Locks
-
Never really saw Liev as Sabretooth and these pics don't do much to change my mind. It's still way early and I'll at least wait till we see him in a trailer, but so far I'm still skeptical of this choice.
-
I like the guy as an actor, but Sabertooth is the type of character that should put the fear of god in someone by just looking at him. Liev doesn't have convincing body either. Bad choice in my opnion. I was incredibly foolish enough to doubt Mckellan before X-1, lets hope i'm making the same mistake again:)
-
I'm IN! That title REALLY sucks though. I mean I get it, they want to make sure people see that its tied to X-Men, but X-Men Origins? Seriously, that sounds ridiculous. It should just be Wolverine.
-
I do wish they had went with Sean Bean though. (Yeah, even with the accent.)
-
It never occurred to me before, but he's a dead ringer in some ways. Now, how to get someone to film a Fripp biopic...
-
Tyler had the appearance down anyway. This may suck.
-
If they had to use a pro wrestler, they should've got Sid Vicious, who not only looks the part, but has the voice as well. And if they had, it might've saved him from that nasty leg break he suffered in WCW. (Ouch.)
-
sabertooth looks like whatever artist draws him in whatever story. seems like this is a slightly more 'realistic take' like batman begins or something. but it is weird to have a spin-off movie that has the same actor play the lead, but a new actor play one of his nemesis..i mean, it's not like this is a reboot or alternate universe, it's a spinoff.so experts, what's the deal with the korean or ww2 looking uniforms, and sabertooth's bulletholes?i only know a bit about weapon X, were they also used as experimental manimal supersoldiers at some point?
-
YOU WANNA EAT OR WHAT, SCHREIBER?!?!
-
I'm not down on this movie at all, but in these backstage shots, it definitely looks like Randy Quaid's "Vacation" character got cast as Sabretooth. Still, I think it'll be a fun flick.
-
Jeez!
-
Liev looks like he's about to hurl. What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding half a worm. :)
-
Sid Vicious from WCW would have been perfect for Sabretooth but he's too old now...or in a mental hospital
-
And you're cookin' with gas. I love the look of that guy. I say it's damn good castin', sucka. Also: I seriously wish they'd just leave Jackman's hair alone like in those pics. All that grease and lame styling from the previous go-rounds makes me scared. I say keep it simple, man. Besides, what kind of animalistic, rampaging maniac running around in the trenches of WWII or climbing through snow-covered woods in Canada uses Vidal Sasoon mousse? Not me, bub.
-
Please buy some. Thanks.
-
Schreiber would still be the better actor. Just fucking say it. What does Mane do besides play the huge villain?
-
From some carnies?
-
I mean he's not exactly looking either strong nor threatening, is he? Looks more like an extra on My Name Is Earl. He could have at least gotten into shape a little for Christ sakes...
-
you mean thats honestly his final look? it looks like some in between shots, i figured he wears some sorta wig or something but if not...wow..lets hope this is a young version or something cuz yeah....sabretooth isnt a wolverine clone is he? lol
-
Where's Deadpool?...
-
trailer
-
Trust me that, once the previews for this come out, and god forbid that they should suck, that I will be the first one in line ripping this flick but..............that hasn't happened yet.
As far as Liev Schreiber goes I like his casting as Sabretooth. He hasn't let me down as an actor yet in any of the performances that I've seen him in so I'm definitely gonna reserve judgement on this. Plus, he does have a menace about him that is usually understated in his performances that I hope will be brought fully into light here. -
Seriously?! I don't care how in character he gets, if the dude is mutant based on a giant cat, he should be muscled and sinewed at the very least. He looks awful. I don't give a crap about acting skills either. Was Sabertooth ever a character that did much more than act like the freaking cold-blooded killer a cat is anyway? Tell me they're going to CGI over him and that this is just performance CGI. Embarrasing...
-
Victor Creed is UNSTOPPABLE!!!
-
Wah! Wah! Wah! Organic Web Shooters suck! Wah! The Green Goblin suit doesn't look like the comic book one. Wah! They made the Kingpin black! Wah! Ian McKellan is too old to play Magneto. Wah! The Hulk looks too fake. Wah! The Thing should have been done in CGI. Wah! Jessica Alba's blue contacts look weird. Wah! Galactus was a cloud. Wah!
-
You are everything that's wrong with your generation and it's...*ahem* entertainers...
-
Liev looks mighty fuckin fine all hairy and rugged. I may have to actually sit thru one of these piece of shit geek-flicks now.
-
so chill out on Leiv
-
I've got bigger biceps than SABERTOOTH!
-
Liev did a stint on CSI playing a cop who has a problematic past at best and he is quite menacing and chilling. Check it out if you have a chance.
-
He looks like a cross between a bad ben stiller character and daniel stern on roids.
-
sure got a big belly for a superhero though...But he's the perfect actor for playing the vicious bigmouthed character of the comic.
-
because he knows it's not going to be any good anyway. He probably thinks of this as just a paycheck.
-
Who cares?
-
"I don't give a crap about acting skills either" - So in other words Fantastic 4 must have been the equivolent of The Godfather to you huh buddy? Sorry but if that were the case then what I'd do is just cast some no-name steroid freak from the WWE who sorta/kinda looks like Sabretooth and then cast him, then give him no lines to speak so that he couldn't embarass himself. Oh wait...........................
-
If every character in the film has facial hair as impressive as these two, then i'm sold.
-
I must've missed the news that Liev Schrieber was playing Sabertooth, because those pics were a minor shock to the system.
Maybe some of you folks more familiar with this chapter in the Wolverine "saga" can school me on this, but does that even look like Sabertooth ever has, in any comic?
First off, I dont have 26" pythons or anything, but it seems like he should be more bulked-up than that. Also, I don't know the individual actors' inseam-length exactly, but I'm questioning whether Liev will suitably tower over JackMan, w/o some Peter Jackson Hobbit tricks. -
I just read back over that and felt like maybe I was sounding shallow. He's a decent actor, and it will be interesting to see the character played by somebody who can do more than grunt and look menacing.
-
To spell his name right, though.
-
I'm not going to judge just yet though. I do agree with some of the other posters that Sabertooth should put the fear of god in you. If Wolverine is the best he is at what he does, Sabertooth should seem like a bona fide unstoppable force of nature - better than Wolverine in every way. Logan always managed to defeat Creed through heart and a bit of luck. I hope we see that in the movie - the one person who has a possibility of frightening Wolverine.
-
That would be great, in a weird trippy fucked up way. I always thought a Wolf-era Jack Nicholson would have been good, just makes sure he has a few lines as possible and someone piss him off every morning. Even when he was younger he gave off that 'old pissed off guy' vibe, which is perfect for Logan.Also in my alternate fantasy all-star X-Men universe, a Tombstone-era Val Kilmer as Gambit, Phylicia Rashad as an older more mature Storm, a younger/saner Tom Cruise as Cyclops, Anthony Hopkins as Magneto, and Michael Clarke Duncan as Apocalypse. Keep Grammer as Beast and Stewart as Prof X, can't really improve on that, just give them better dialog.
-
as long as Ratner doesn't touch this one, I'll see it...
-
Who the fuck wants to see this? I can't imagine any fan of Wolverine would want to see yet another shitty incarnation of the character. I certainly don't. And this is so far beneath Liev Schrieber it's not even funny. The man is an acting God on a Broadway stage, it's absolutely terrible he's never been able to translate it to the big screen in the same capacity. Hopefully some great director with a great script will wake up and give him that chance.
-
Liev was playing harvey dent in the dark knight... Oh well
-
Is it to late to put him in the dark knight???
-
THAT'S Sabretooth??? The killer who's terrorized, fought and hunted Wolverine and his friends for decades???He looks an out-of-shape ol' hound dog who's a few years short of "one last walk in the woods" with his owner.Where's the MAKEUP??? Those Lee Press-On Nails? Those half-assed mutton chops?? That's IT??? No long hair? No facial prosthetics to at least make him LOOK scary or imposing?? Didn't they at LEAST give him a TRAINER so he'd have some... I dunno... MUSCLES, so he'd at least LOOK as if he could last 5 seconds against Hugh Jackman in a fight??? It just looks like Liev Schreiber the morning after a weekend bender! >:OAt least Thomas Haden Church bulked up suitably in order to visually look like Sandman in Spider-Man 3 (even if the REST of the film was weak)!!!Between the endless stream of mutants showing up in this movie — who can't POSSIBLY be given any satisfactory screentime — and the now PATHETIC treatment and look given to Wolverine's most famous enemy, this film looks like the rightful successor to Jackman's Van Helsing movie... PURE CRAP!!!Can someone please tell me HOW Marvel can give us Iron Man and Spider-Man one second and then have the GALL to waste time and money on obvious garbage like Elektra and THIS FILM???
-
judging by some of the talkbacks on the DnD 4e reviews, only the lowest life forms play the game--so I guess Gary's passing is of insignificant importance to the powers that be. But if you want to discuss politics and "Super Tuesday II", look no further! I mean, for Christ's Sake, even National Review discussed Gary's passing.
-
Where is he? I couldn't spot him in the pix.

Forget Jackman, Hugh Laurie could beat up this Sabretooth...
by w3bzpinn3r
I'm hoping to god they are on a lunchbreak... and that Liev not only took off the wig, but also took off 40lbs of muscle... Otherwise who on god's green earth is gonna believe that stick is gonna hold his own against Hugh Jackman? This looks weak. They could have at least had Clemens give him some Human Growth Hormones to bulk up a bit... this is sad. Stallone is like 60+ and he is in better shape than Liev.
-
I really, REALLY hope those pics don't actually speak the VOLUMES they apear to be . . . dear lord. Lieve looks HORRIBLE for Sabretooth . . . main bad guy from Commando, anyone?Am I the only one who thinks Nathan Jones (last seen in The Protector and Condemned, I believe?) would have made a fucking FEROCIOUS Sabretooth? Cause HE would instantly look BAD ASS!!
-
sorry . . . spelling.
-
Oh well.
-
Beer gut? Lee Press Ons? Biceps that wouldn't intimidate a girl scout? Mix all that with the menacing voice of a guy who sounds like Dustin Hoffman going through puberty and all I can say is get him the hell off the set! He landed a cherry of a role and went and got fatter? No. Someone call up Clancy Brown, Ron Perlman or hell...I'd take Chevy Creatively Dead Inside Chase over this guy. But to be fair...he did grow some nice mutton chops. Nice job Liev, now pack up whatever you can fit in your pockets from the craft service table and step aside so this movie can be saved by someone who fits the part.

Hi, my name is Sabretooth and I'm here to tell y'all about FREED
by dmann
Seriously, he just needs the party in the back, and he goes from fighting wolverine, to doing the achey breakey.
-
another chunk of putrid fecal matter. Could someone at least point Saber to the fucking weight room so he can work off that ferocious down south beer gut he's packing around? He's looking like that Star Wars kid from a few years ago trying to pretend to be something cool. Cripes this is awful. I had such hopes for this, little did I know the stay puft marshmallow man showed up as a stand in. This is truly awful.
-
(Bay's comment on the pics)
-
...Marvel have only just started making their own films with their own production company. the X-Men films, Spider-Man films, Hulk, DareDevil and Elektra and the Fantastic Four movies were all licensed out to studios, with varying degrees of control/input from Marvel and varying degrees of success. If you want to see what Marvel do when they're in control (now that Marvel Studios is up and running) then just wait and see what Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are like this year.
-
Fuck You Uwe Boll
-
his work on hbo stuff is amazing...but as a physical actor he leaves much to be desired
-
Wonder if they'll start using that technology that makes people look younger - Jackman was all of 30 when he did the first X film, he's gotta be pushing 40 by now.
-
the one from the first film? Are they related somehow or are they actually the same character? Wolverine did lose his memory so he might not have recognized him.
-
My only problem with Liev as Sabertooth is that Sabertooth is supposed to be huge. Then again though, when Sabertooth was first introduced in Iron Fist way back in the day, he was pretty slender
-
in a Sydney paper today. He was spotted at a gym in Bondi. Because X-Men fans on forums were calling him a fatty. (Okay I made that last bit up).
-
Perhaps the Weapon X program changes Sabertooth into the nightmare he's supposed to be, but right now that sure don't look like him. He's supposed to be bigger, stronger, and faster than Wolvie.
-
fuck dude yer a little pudgy to be a super smooth mutant killing machine don't ya think? Maybe they can hire the spray-on abs guy from 300
-
Someone find Ryan Reynolds pics..
-
Sizemore-like face - check. Beer gut - check. Long prison bitch-nails - check.

Im assuming this is before he becomes full blown Sabretooth?
by rocklobster800
like he mutates more as the film goes on? cos if now then its pretty crap-but if its just the beginning of something bigger then, yeah its fine by me...
-
...And who cares about Tyler Mane's Sabretooth. Does anyone actually rewatch X1 after they saw X2? The only scenes worth a shit were the concentration camp and the Wolvie intro. Other than that, it looked made for Sci-Fi Channel. I don't know why my hopes are still up for Wolverine, it sounds like a mess but I'm holding out for a Batman Begins-like surprise.
-
In The Sum of All Fears. If anyone here would rather have a fucking wrestler who seemed to play Sabertooth like a mindless animal than an actual actor then seriously, fuck off and die.
-
than I thought it would.
-
It was late...I was ranting. My point is simply that the character of SabreTooth is pretty much a big cat in human form. Lions and Tigers are extremely muscled animals of grace and power. If that is Liev's finished look, it doesn't come across one iota as a big cat in human form. The other point is that the comics as I recall them (and I'm no SaberTooth historian) potray the character not as one of deep thought and wit, but as one of carnal aggression. Fantasic 4 was awful. They needed strong acting in those roles. I understand the need to have someone who can act (vs. Tyler Mane), but I wish they would have made the guy truly menancing through better makeup or use of CGI enhancements. Oh well...
-
Sabertooth is ultra aggressive. He is a killer, plain and simple. And while your argument of "fuck off and die" is oh-so-very-strong, I think it still falls short of convincing me that Liev should be the one playing Sabertooth, and not someone who conveys much more menace. And I am not saying Tyler should be that person, but there had to be someone else who would fit the bill.
-
guess who posted in the Last House on the Left Tb a few minutes ago? 2TRUE! I sent him our message of Warciples
-
Nuff said?
-
Dude seriously, I didn't expect Leiv to look like Gerad Butler a la 300, but c'mon! A few sits and push ups at least! H makes me feel in shape and I'm a 280lb ex high school football player!
-
Kloipy, he has heard our message!
-
And he should've had dogtags that said "Sabretooth" in the first movie. And they should hire me as a consultant.
-
I wouldn't say that at all. From the pictures, he actually looks fairly fit or at least average. He's just not muscled in any way. There's a difference but fat he is not. Now the dude from Lost (Hugo) playing SaberTooth...that's fat.
-
tits.
-
Why are you blaming him for making Sabretooth "stupid"? It was that Bryan Singer who did that. Tyler was playing the part as written. I've met Tyler in person and he's actually a very intelligent guy.
That's like saying Jerry Lewis or Dustin Hoffman are mentally retarded or something, just because they were in a movie. Anyone here think Robert DeNiro is really a mob boss? -
to pull this off. Those pics don't look too disimilar to the Victor Creed drawn by Jim Lee in the Team X flashbacks in X-Men issues 3-5 where he had short cropped hair. I think personality-wise they Liev will nail Sabretooth. I'm hoping make-up and CGI does the rest.
-
That's where Creed and Logan first come to the attention of Stryker. Remember's Stryker's line in X2 "I was flying choppers in Nam while you were still suckin on your momma's titty" or something along those lines? Benioff made a note of this and has created a backstory where Stryker discovers Creed and Logan are mutants and decides to use them in his experiments years later
-
I bet Creed did a lot of unauthorised killing and raping in Nam and Logan tried to stop him. Maybe that's why Creed ices Silverfox years later...just a thought
-
Granted, the fact that these are *spy* pics adds to the awfulness... But I'd bet it will looks terrible on screen anyway. Methinks the first decision the next president should take as soon as he's elected is to forbid the 20th Century Fox to make any more comics adaptations.
-

Given the subtlety of Stiller's writing, I'm expecting riots with that one. -
X-Men movies biggest issue was minimizing all of their villains and only using Magneto in all 3 movies.
-
seriously. that dude looks bad. not cool bad. just flab bad. if i was cast as sabretooth, i'd hit the gym pretty hard. i'm sure the studio would hire you a trainer. damn.

He actually looks like Sabretooth circa the Weapon X series
by reel american hero
http://x-worldcomics.com/YourVirtualStore/images/content/WEAPONX1.JPG (take out the spaces, obviously) Not quite as buff as the comics, but they've got the physical look down right at least.
I'm not really one to complain about actor continuity in the movie versions of things as long as talented people play the characters. Look at it like this, artist change on the comics all the time, each one bringing their own look to the characters. So in a comic film franchise you don't necessarily need to have the same actors in every film. As long as the talent level stays, change the actors if you need to. -
That's my guy. He's the best.
-
Mar 05, 2008 11:43:11 AM CST
looks decent...it will work in the movie. remember though; will.
by the_one_man_gang
i dont understand why fox doesnt take this shit seriously though...it is weird. this movie is so easy to make, but fox is obviously run by RETARDS.
-
For now, I'll remain hesitant, but goofy name aside, he could have some acting chops for all I know, so I'll wait until I see some footage first before I throw up the bullshit card based on the fact that he's a rapper. -
And I don't qualify as buff at all!
-
I've said it for years...
Err, no, wait... another shitty stunt casting decision. Ghostface Killah was bad enough in Iron Man, but at least it's only a cameo. While Wraith is a full fledged character. What's next? Alicia Keys as Storm? J-Lo as Jean Grey? -
bitching aside, it may be a fun cameo.
But please, no more rappers in those movies. Some of them are actually decent actors, but 8 times out of 10 it's just a cheap nod to the urban audience and a way to sell more bullshit soundtracks. -
A 5'2 or 4'11 Logan would look FUCKING STUPID on screen. Singer was SMART to ignore the height and focus on the 'personality' of the character.
Jackman IS Wolverine, and always will be. Logan looks retarded short now---that's how convincing Jackman was for me. -
NORM!!
-
Too much o' dat mutton (chops, that is).
-
This looks like a flashback. Like someone said before, maybe Nam. It's still funny to me seeing the knee-jerk reactions like clockwork. Surprised nobody has talked about how wrong the "costumes" are. I do like Sabretooth's Cornchip nailclips though.
-
I've always thought the wrestler Sid Viscious would make a great Sabretooth too, so I liked seeing his name in this talkback. Sounds a lot like the cartoon version. "Wolveriiiiiiiiiiiine!"
-
Why Sabretooth so scrawny?
