Sabertooth Might Return In The Wolverine 3

Liev Schreiber gave some new hints at where the hard-R threequel to The Wolverine might go when it enters production. In a brief interview with MTV News on the red carpet of the Oscars, the actor admitted that he’s been in talks about the possibility of returning as Sabertooth. 

Schreiber said “he’s mentioned it to me,” referring to the fact that Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, has contacted his old clawed frenemy about the new film, currently dubbed The Wolverine 3. He said “We talked about it, I don’t know. He’s mentioned it to me. The Old Man Logan story that’s appealing. That’s something that I can do. Old, being the operative word.”

As these things go, it’s very far from a confirmation, but encouraging for fans of Schreiber’s depiction of the character in the otherwise universally awful X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It would be especially interesting to see the two characters come to blows in The Wolverine 3‘s very violent and R-rated world.
