Schreiber, however, threw himself into preparing to play Sabretooth, bulking up with an extra 40 pounds of muscle through an intensive diet and exercise regimen. Played By: Liev Schreiber, an American stage and screen actor who is not previously known for starring in action movies, preferring instead to focus on characters better known for being cerebral than brawny. This is, of course, to be expected, since the first three movies very much departed from the comics, de-aging characters like Angel and Iceman, and having Wolverine join the X-Men by himself, rather as a member of a completely new team (with Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, etc).
In the Movie: X-Men Origins: Wolverine borrows heavily from several of the comics that have dealt directly with Wolverine’s origin story, but reportedly also has some new or different elements, especially in the Weapon X era. The comics have also now depicted in many different ways Wolverine’s time as part of the Weapon X program, in which both he and Sabretooth were used as part of a military program to use mutants as super soldiers. As in the first three X-Men movies, readers were given bits of the puzzle over the years, but Wolverine’s true roots weren’t revealed until the 2001-2002 mini-series Origin, which detailed the events of Wolverine’s youth and young adulthood. In the Comics: For the first 25 years of Wolverine’s publication in Marvel Comics (first introduced in The Incredible Hulk #181, November 1974), Wolverine’s true origin story was one of comics’ greatest mysteries. Powers: Super healing, regeneration, super senses, adamantium-infused skeleton, adamantium-infused claws and a berserker battle fury. Noting that Wolverine’s personality had mellowed in X-Men: The Last Stand, Jackman has been quoted as being excited about playing Wolverine during his most feral days, comparing the performance to that of Robert De Niro’s in the Cape Fear remake. Played By: Hugh Jackman, the Australian actor/dancer/singer who rose to fame when he was cast as a then-unknown in 2000’s first X-Men film. That’s why we’ve put together this rundown of the major players you’re going to see in the upcoming installment of the X-Men saga. And although Sabertooth, Stryker, and Cyclops have been seen on the big screen already, there are new actors playing those roles this time around. By now, you should be pretty familiar with Wolverine and his super-powered teammates from the previous X-Men movies, but unless you’re a comics aficionado, you might not recognize some of Logan’s other compatriots, such as Wade Wilson, John Wraith, and Agent Zero. X-Men Origins: Wolverine marks the fourth film appearance for Marvel’s most popular mutant.
