AceShowbiz - It is obvious that "The Wolverine 3" will be the last film in which Hugh Jackman plays the clawed mutant. What remains unclear is whether Jackman will be joined by Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth. When stopping by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", Schreiber discussed the possibility of appearing in the next Wolverine movie.
The speculation on Sabretooth emerged when Jackman posted a photo on Twitter which features himself doing heavy exercise at the gym, seemingly to prepare for his last stint as Wolverine. Schreiber then responded to the photo by tweeting, "do I have to do that..." Unfortunately, the tweet was misinterpreted and fans assumed that it was a kind of confirmation from Schreiber that he would make appearance in the upcoming movie.
Although the tweet from Schreiber seemed to suggest that he would appear in the movie, it turned out to be a little bit different from the expectation. Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Schreiber clarified the matter, "People have surmised that from my tweet, but I wasn't. I was really just saying 'Is that something I have to do as I get older? Is that how I approach middle age?' Like that."
As the conversation went on, Fallon asked Schreiber if he would like to come back. "Well, what I heard was... I don't know if I'm invited. But I heard that the storyline is Old Man Logan," Schreiber said. If the movie adapts the whole things from the source material, people will be pretty sure that Sabreetooth will appear. "And when I heard that, I thought, 'Well, you know there's old man Logan, there could be old man Sabretooth.' The two of us like walkers," Schreiber pointed out.
James Mangold will direct with Lauren Shuler Donner tapped as producer. The mutant movie is slated for a release in the U.S. on March 3, 2017.
