Deadpool and Wolverine recently brought back a plethora of Marvel characters that were previously licensed by 20th Century Fox. While those like Blade and X-23 played major supporting roles, others were only brought back for glorified cameos like Chris Evans’ Human Torch. Even Sabretooth was brought back, only it wasn’t quite the Sabretooth many were hoping to see. Tyler Mane, who played the character in the first X-Men film before Liev Schreiber took on the role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was the one to have his glorious reprisal. It was Schreiber, however, who played the version that many seem to remember more fondly; as even though his film received heavy-hitting bouts of negative criticism, his performance was considered to be one of its few redeeming qualities.Of course, Schreiber later returned to the realm of Marvel films, playing another villainous role as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, but he’s also been quite open about wanting to play Sabretooth again. However, given what Deadpool & Wolverine had in store for Mane, it’s probably for the best that he didn’t return for that specific film. Nevertheless, given just how good of a job he did in the role 15 years ago, and with the undeniable chemistry between him and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, should another opportunity come around, there’s no doubt that the fans would love to see it.In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sabretooth is not only given a detailed backstory, but also a legitimate personality and character arc, and having an actor of Liev Schreiber’s caliber certainly elevated him from the first film’s portrayal. In his performance, Schrieber played a version of Victor with far more dimension to him; rather than a silent and animalistic henchman, his version showed the intelligence and experience that lurked behind his brutality, as well as the sadistic pleasure he got from breaking people both physically and emotionally. As such, it made the fight scenes between him and Wolverine more interesting in context. While the film did re-write the canon of the original comics, turning him and Logan into half-brothers, it created a new and fresh dynamic between the two that made some of the more entertaining scenes in the film. According to an interview he had with GQ, Schrieber seemed to think the change made the rivalry between the two characters far more interesting.
