It was said that there were plans for Liev Schreiber to reprise his role as Sabretooth/Victor Creed in James Mangold’s Logan, but the reunion between brothers never ended up happening, and Schreiber’s only role in the X-films remains to be only in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. What’s interesting is, a rumor has come out that he could be reprising the role for an upcoming Marvel film—specifically the one with Hugh Jackman in it.
As per insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Schreiber is set to reprise the role of Wolverine’s estranged brother in Deadpool 3. Of course, nothing official has been confirmed, but with the movie said to be bringing back old versions of characters (like Jennifer Garner’s Elektra), a cameo from Schreiber would make a lot of sense.
Though fans were introduced to Sabretooth in Bryan Singer’s X-Men with a savage bruiser, Origins had rewritten the character to be Logan’s half-brother who had the same healing factor and feral attitude. Not only was Schreiber’s Sabretooth smarter, but he was also the one calling the shots between himself and Logan (then known as Jimmy Howlett).
Going back to Deadpool 3 though, fans consider this one final return for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, seeing that they didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to have him share a screen with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. Maybe an appearance from Sabretooth would be great—and while they’re at it, they should bring back some other favorites from that universe to make a cameo like James Marsden (Cyclops) or Anna Paquin (Rogue). I wouldn’t even mind Famke Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) making a return.
Deadpool 3 is set to release on May 3, 2024.
