Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber, known for their roles as Wolverine and Victor Creed/Sabretooth in the 2009 film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” are once again in the spotlight. The duo recently shared a “now and then” behind-the-scenes photo on social media, sparking excitement among fans eager to see them reunite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Jackman gets ready to play Wolverine again in the soon-to-start Deadpool and Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy. Their return together has made his return all the more exciting!
The movie owes a lot of that charm to the screenplay provided by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. It has already garnered quite a bit of attention for having been given an official R-rating by the MPAA. This rating is due to intense depictions of bloody violence, strong language, gore, and sexual references. This acknowledgement sees the importance of what the purpose of this film is. It hopes to maintain the hardcore vibe of the franchise that series fans cherish.
Fans have been clamoring for years to see Jackman and Schreiber reunite in another film as their characters, Logan and Victor Creed. Unfortunately, it looks like the actor is not going to be reprising his role as Sabretooth in the upcoming blockbuster. Excitement is still through the roof considering that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are returning as Wolverine and Deadpool, respectively, and everyone’s favorite characters.
In a recent blog post, Jackman expressed his enthusiasm to be working with Schreiber again. This time, instead of playing the same roles they normally do, they’ll play different roles.
“Now and then! Amazing to be back in a rehearsal studio again with @LievSchreiber. While we are in two distinctly different plays, most are back to back. When @SFP_London and I set out to create Together Productions, we made a list of actors we hoped to work with. Liev answered…” – Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman)
Jackman and Schreiber will collaborate on two upcoming plays that will showcase their talents in different roles, highlighting their versatility as actors. All the intricate details about these plays are still a closely guarded secret, but their collaborative involvement is creating a wildfire of excitement in theatrical circles.
The cast of “Deadpool and Wolverine” is exceptional. Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Rob Delaney, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna should all return to reprise their roles from the previous films. Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen are the thrilling new additions to Year 3’s starry ensemble. Corrin will star as a TV agent, while Macfadyen will play Cassandra Nova, Charles Xavier’s evil twin.
Schreiber has thusfar opted out of returning as Sabretooth. The impression he left in the past still casts a long shadow on fans. The dynamic between his character and Jackman’s Wolverine was pivotal in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” even if the film itself received mixed reviews.
So understandably, excitement is high for “Deadpool and Wolverine.” Jackman and Reynolds are going to bring some really special stuff for fans who really know their characters inside and out. The film looks to strike that blend of humor and heart-pumping action that defined the franchise’s signature style.
