X-Men Origins: Wolverine had a lot of bad to it, but it had its good points too. I was split down the middle while most people dwell on the bad. One of those good things was Victor Creed played by Liev Schreiber. He was just awesome in the role. I had NO complaints at all about him as it redeemed the error made with that meatsicle from the first X-Men film that reduced the brilliance of Sabertooth to a hulking grunting mindless pet.
Well recently Liev commented that Hugh has read the first draft of the Wolverine sequel and it is still unclear if Creed will be making an appearance. Liev hopes so.
At a press conference for Repo Men in New York, Schreiber had the following to say about Wolverine’s Japan odyssey.
I just had dinner with [Hugh Jackman] last night and Hugh read the first draft of the script and I was really excited about it. It’s still not clear whether or not Victor will be present in the Japan storyline. In the Japan storyline as I remember it from the Wolverine comics, Victor wasn’t there. So I don’t know, of course I’ve got my fingers crossed because I love the character so much, to have the chance to do it again would be a lot of fun, but I’m not sure.
I am conflicted about this. I really loved Schreiber’s portrayal of Creed, and I would LOVE to see him return to the role, but at the same time with Wolverine 2 following Logan’s time in Japan I don’t know if I want Sabertooth involved.
I would really be looking forward to Silver Samurai (you know they have to) and the Hand.
Dammit! I want Sabertooth, but not yet.
