In an interview with Scifi.com Liev Schrieber talked about his role in the upcoming Xmen origins Wolverine. He of course plays Sabretooth in the film. In a quick sum up he said he was excited to work with Hugh and that it was a very intense and challenging experience. Also quite interesting he to is a comic book fan… or at least is saying he is one to suck up to us comic book fans;

“I found it to be really intense,” Schreiber said in a group interview on Dec. 7 in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting Defiance. “The character I play is incredibly brutal and feral and has a bloodlust unlike any other character I’ve ever played. This guy is a real killer.”

“Just to do [a] fight scene with Hugh was really terrific because as a dancer, he has that kind of discipline and choreography,” Schreiber said. “I always studied to be a fight choreographer and wanted to be a dancer, too, but didn’t quite have the feet for it. We have some remarkable fight scenes together, and I’m looking forward to people seeing those.”

As a fan of the comic books, Schreiber vouched for the upcoming film’s interpretation. “I was a fan of the comic books,” he said. “I just loved the character of Wolverine. I always have. That sort of deeply ironic and very urban sensibility on a superhero was something that I thought was really groundbreaking, the style of writing, particularly the very sort of editorial style. I just always loved it, and I think that we were able to capture some of that darkness in this movie, so I’m very proud.”

Dont forget the trailer for Wolverine will be attached with the upcoming release of Keanue Reeves The Day The Earth Stood Still. Below you can checkout a slew of photos for the film! More to come as always.
