Logan: Jackman"˜s Ideas for a Sabretooth Cameo

No Comments

The Logan Blu-ray is set to arrive in just a couple of days, on the 23rd of May, so Collider sat down with Hugh Jackman to talk about the movie. The interviewer asked whether Jackman and James Mangold had thought about bringing Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth back in Logan. While it was already revealed that the Ray Donovan star was asked to return but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts, Jackman remembered that there was a scene featuring Sabretooth in the original script.

In the cameo, Sabretooth ran a major Vegas casino, keeping up appearances as a respectable businessman. However, the old villain was still there. This makes us wonder whether some major disagreement with Wolverine would have taken place.

Oh, no, there was a script stage. There was a story point where they go to Vegas, you know how they go to the Oklahoma casino? They go there, and at this point, Sabretooth is running like a major casino and really, really wealthy, and really kind of runs a town, and sort of respectable in a way, but is still himself. That idea was thrown around. I forgot about that.

In retrospect, such a cameo didn't really belong in Logan.

Jackman also said that he had presented another idea to James Mangold. He thought it would be fun to have Victor Creed pay an annual visit on Logan's birthday in order to give him a beating.

The other idea that I always loved was the idea in the comics that every year on Logan's birthday, his brother comes and beats the crap out of him. I just thought that was such a cool, very fun idea, and very in keeping with those characters. His birthday present was just a beating, and that's the only time he sees him (laughs). I kept saying, “Jim can we put that in?” And he goes, “Eh, this is not that movie.” But anyway.

If the Wolverine movies had taken a different path in the second installment, this fun cameo could have worked.
