Will Wolverine 3 Have Liev Schreiber as Old Man Sabretooth?

Back in July,Hugh Jackmanposted teaserartworkfor his highly-anticipated sequelWolverine 3, while asking fans what they would like to see in his finalWolverinemovie. During an interview last month, the actor revealed that several fans asked for the sequel to bring back Victor Creed, a.k.a. Sabretooth, who was most recently played byLiev Schreiberin 2009’sX-Men Origins: Wolverine.Liev Schreiberappeared on last night’s episode ofThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he revealed that he would like to come back forWolverine 3, possibly as “Old Man Sabretooth.”

“I don’t know if I’m invited, but what I heard was that the storyline isOld Man Logan. And when I heard that, I thought, ‘Well, you know… there’s Old Man Logan, there could be Old Man Sabretooth.'”

The Old Man Logancomic bookstory has been rumored as the basis forWolverine 3for quite some time, but an unconfirmed report from June claimed the sequel will not be based on that comic, which was created byMark Millar. The Old Man Logan adaptation would be difficult to pull off, since several characters in that story are controlled by Marvel Studios. The story follows Logan, who retires as a superhero and travels the country, where he runs into several different heroes and villains, such as Hulk, Red Skull and Hawkeye.

Liev Schriberhimself even fueled speculation that he will come back as Sabretooth, when he responded to a photoHugh Jackmanposted on his Twitter page, showcasing the muscular actor during one of his workout sessions. Many people assumed thatLiev Schreiber’s reply of “do I have to do that?” meant that he was askingHugh Jackmanif he had to undergo that kind of training to come back as Sabretooth. However,Liev Schreiberset the record straight onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing what he really meant.

“People have surmised that, from my tweet, but I was really just saying, ‘Is that something I have to do, as I get older?’ Do I approach middle age like that?'”

All that we know for sure aboutWolverine 3is thatHugh Jackmanis set to star, withJames Mangold(The Wolverine) set to direct from a script byMichael Green. Production is scheduled to to begin in early 2016, with 20th Century Fox setting a March 3, 2017release date. Do you thinkLiev Schreibershould come back as Sabretooth inWolverine 3?
