    Is it just me or was Sabretooth's costume designed by UGGs.
  • Rol
    why would they make Sabertooth wimpier looking than Logan?
    Bad facial hair doesn't make a Sabertooth...
  • The Jezzus
    WHAT

    THE

    F**K!

    That's it, doomed. Unless one of ST's is look cooler, I'm a have to give that costume a 2/10.

    X-Men was my favorite comic and they have REALLY let me down.
  • The Jezzus
    *one of ST's mutant powers*
  • he is not just big enough!!! hope they shoot him in the way the did Gandalf in LOTR
  • pat
    wow... (that's a bad wow) He is way too small and he doesn't look strong he just looks like a redneck with a big beer belly... When I see that I don't picture him throwing wolverine through a wall. I really hope these pictures are very raw and there will be a lot more work done to him...
  • I like that he looks the part of wolverines doppleganger. Hes bigger than Hugh Jackman but his arms could use some work, maybe they arent done laying on the effects he doesnt even have a claw on every finger. Im holding out that hes in mid transformation.
  • Trebek
    That really doesn't look like Sabertooth. I guess I should have expected as much. That's Hollywood for you. They know how to ruin things.
  • spidey
    Dude, I've been saying the same thing about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine since the first XMEN.

    BAD CASTING.

    - spidey
  • Matthew
    I'm very uneasy about this project.
  • will
    sigh.
  • Nevely
    It might be an early days shot, pre going mental and getting big....

    You can hope huh
  • fanboy d
    looks pre-make up to me. i mean, there's a grip or some kind of crew member in the background of the first photo, they're clearly no on set...mybe he gets longer hair and black contacts like singer's sabretooth.
  • A.J.
    How in the hell can they even think of having Sabretooth look like that after how they had him look in the first X-Men?

    Pitiful.
  • Trebek
    Yeah It most likely is pre-make up like some people were saying. But even so...I have a feeling they'll screw it up anyway.
  • Tk
    He is so small becuase Sabretooth wasn't big when he first became a mutant.. This is suppose to be him becoming Sabretooth as to the first X-men movie where he was tall and muscular
  • Ponyboy
    If you look at his hand in the first picture he doesn't even have a claw on one of his fingers. This shot has to be before make-up. Unless Sabretooth only has 4 claws on one hand. Please. This isn't even close to finished.
  • john
    yeah good caLL there.
  • jtv
    wtf is that. sabertooth is supose to be Bigger. I mean Ripped, and close to 8 or 9 feet tall, claws, fangs and a big main. He looks nothing like him. Hows he going to stand up to Wolverine? He cant even match up to the look. Sabertooth can lift tons. He doesnt even look like he can bench 250. I mean come on! This is such a disapiontment for true Marvel fans evrywhere. Well atleast the one in the first movie was ok. someting like that. But yonger and stronger looking. not this guy. Im sorry dude, but your not sabertooth.
  • Long time fan of ST, and I was glad to see him in the X movies.

    I was even happier to see that they were going to include him in the Wolv solo flick. From what I have read and from the mere pretense of the movie... I am glad to see they are going to actually dive into WHO ST is, not just let him toss Wolv around and get treated like a dog by Magneto (appropriate, lol).

    If I have done my math correctly, and a logical deduction... this is the portion of the film that is set in WW II, pre weapon X experiments, etc. Wolv and ST are the only members of the "mutant casting" that were involved with this portion of the filming. Storming the beach during WW II... one MIGHT assume this is when they are enlisted men, not full blown SAVE/DESTROY the world Mutants. Early stages of their mutant selves, most likely how they get ENLISTED into the whole weapon X thing...

    Wolv and ST are most likely BOTH sporting the old GI haircuts, with the exception of the out of control facial hair in order to fit the time period. Not too hard to fathom that 60 years later, and a lot of experiments/training... he would become the ST that we see in the other X films.

    Just my take on it... wont condone or condemn it... but at least it looks like they are going to build the character this time... be that good or bad, we will see.

    Marvel has some say so in this... I will be an optimist...

    man this will be worse than all the P.O.S. x men movies i mean COME ON! they butcherd bacically 18 years of comics in one movie totally screwed origins relationships conflicts and any notable (and awesome) plots marvel ever made. lady deathstrike was onscreen for what 7 minutes? and she was one of the leading charachters in wolverines life! its no suprise that theyd royally screw up sabertooth
    the guy who played him in the x men movies at least LOOKED like sabertooth i can get a good actor to play sabertooth but if hes all pudgy and soft looking then all the good acting in the world cant save sabertooth from looking like a fat guy in a fur coat. plus wolverine is like 5'9" and a mean looking S.O.B. not some 6'3" prettyboy who cant act mean to save his life and has as mutch personality as a pet rock i dunno maby i dont know anything about wolverine or sabertooth maby im just being an a$$hole but look at that pic and tell me that that guy would rape and kill for fun..............
  • crimson
    Agreed.They totally massacred Sabretooth.And Gambit also doesn't look cool from the trailer.His hair isn't that long and it's reddish,not brown!

    The people making The Wolverine:Origins film are total amateurs!
    Also Wolverine and the X-men sucks and the 1992 X-men animated series is a masterpiece!
  • Luke
    Yah have to remeber wolverine is SUPPOSED to me like 5'3 not the 6ft whatever he is in the film, for all this complaining has anyone here ever read up on the history of theses guys
  • Rick
    Liev Schreiber sucks as sabertooth. Last i checked Sabertooth was alot bigger than wolverine . Sheeshh what are they thinking.
  • Belial1125
    OMG PEOPLE ITS THE ORIGIN, this is pre experiments, pre the wolverine getting metal claws, pre sabertooth getting all uber buff, SO STOP BITCHING! fuck you guys give all comick guys a bad name, its fucking holly wood they butcher everything, if you dont like it dont watch it or make your own.
    and for the record I thought Jackman did a half decent job as wolverine even if he was kinda tall.
  • Matt
    Hey Belial1125!!!! You idiot! Yes this is the origin; however, both Wolverine and Sabertooth aren't freaking 25! These guys have already been around awhile and have seen action at this point. My little brother is more buff than this guy for crying out loud! And it's not like Hugh Jackman is a pansy. They had him working his ass off in the gym, so why couldn't they have done the same for this guy?! Although it might take place 40-50 years before X-Men, Sabertooth isn't 16 waiting for his growth spurt you freaking Moron! One of the many reasons why they were chosen as Weapon X potentials was their stamina, endurance, performance and abilities. All freaking physical aspects. They were physically Alpha-Males. So your not going to tell me that Weapon X experiments gave Sabertooth 2 extra feet in height and jipped Wolverine. They were freaking Government Soldiers/Muscle not Pre-Weapon X Larry the Cable Guy!!!
  • Sabrinteeth
    Hey Belial, you need to read up on Wolverine and Sabertooth from a while back. Creed has always been very tall, blond and mean. Don't forget he has no pupils in his very blue eyes.
    It's like casting Danny DeVito to play Hulk Hogan, ok?
    If Liev Shreiber growls in this movie I'll want to give him a saucer with milk, that is how bad it is from what I've seen.
    Matt is correct, Creed/Sabertooth and Logan/Wolverine were already grown ups and looked exactly the same as in the present time, except that Sabertooth has had enhancements done on him recently that were unrelated to the weaponX project.
  • Michael
    This was a good movie... I saw a critics release, and once you see sabertooth done by schreiber, there is no going back to X-men 1 sabertooth. Srieber looks much cooler, and his teeth are done better... overall i liked this film better that X1 and X2 put together
  • Aguy Datknowstings
    it's not sabertooth people....... this blog is total crap. He's Victor, Wolverine's (Logan) brother.
    NOT SaberTooth.

    Cheers.

    A guy that knows things.
  • Lauren
    I think that's a shot where he's actually doing training for the role, hence the get-up. There's no way they'd let him play Sabertooth looking like that.
  • Vegas John
    liev is awesome...and he will not let you down as sabertooth!
  • jaenette
    well i think his hotter than hugh jackman...my sabertooth!!!!!!!!lol
  • john
    irs amazing that schrieber trained for 4 months(or so he says) and ended up looking like he did in the movie. what a pathetic attempt from him and the creators of the movie. and schrieber is so defensive of his size in interviews, because he knows he was soft as fuck, and tried to push the fact that hes 6'3" tall. so what schrieber, ur fat.
  • Wasabie
    I think hez FN HoTTT!!! hez SeXXXy it aint matta if hez buff o not hez hottt...!
