I’m still not crazy about the idea of Liev Shreiber playing Sabretooth (aka Victor Creed) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think of the actor as being more a white-collar kind of guy. And maybe a bit smarter. I know Sabretooth isn’t supposed to be nearly as dumb as he was portrayed (by Tyler Mane) in X-Men, but I think of him as being more animalistic than intelligent — I know it’s probably wrong to think that, and it’s been years since I last read an X-Men comic, but that’s what I’ve always thought. Meanwhile, I expect to see Schreiber wearing a suit and tie (or reciting Shakespeare, or both!). Hooray for typecasting!

Anyway, most of you have probably already seen these latest set photos courtesy of Just Jared, but I thought I’d showcase my favorites, which include that one above and this one and this one and this one. I’ll give it to the more knowledgeable fans who will point out that Creed has brains, but did he also have boobs? Surely they should have cast a more fit actor, or had Schreiber get in better shape. And I don’t just mean the obvious issues seen in these pics. Shouldn’t Sabretooth have gigantic shoulders, at least?

    Liev does not have moobs! His animosity was very hot and very convincing, and I would appreciate you not beseeching his good name. He is totally fit enough

    Liev was perfect as sabertooth exactly because he is smart. Its a different take on sabertooth. Way better then the way he is portrayed in comics. Lets face it. There needs to be a lot of improvement before the story can make a good film. Comic book writing is certainly not very good for the most part. Who the heck wants some tall idiot that roars? Is that even scary? Id die of laughter if I saw someone with Tyler manes eyebrows. And I think maybe its time that comic book nerd boys stoped putting up the same bad pic of Schrieber. if nothing else you are proving to the world that most of the pics of him are good if there is just one bad one every snarky page has to use.
