Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub from Collider recently caught up with Liev Schreiber during a press day for his new movie “Defiance” and got a good interview about his upcoming role as Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Below is an excerpt from the interview, but, I encourage you to visit the source and read the entire interview.
LS: I can take him. [Laughter] No I really can. In fact I do. But the reality is that he’s become - Hugh since I’ve known him, I’ve known him a long time - has become this colossus of a man. He’s like he’s huge and muscles everywhere and I have to play this guy who whoops his ass. So as soon as I was finished ‘Defiance’ I began this kind of four month training period, weight lifting period genocide of chickens phase of my life where I just got bigger and bigger and it was awful but amazing and fun. When I finally got there and I got to choreograph the fights with Hugh and get on the wire and do the work it was not just fun, I saw some footage it’s pretty cool.

Actress Lynn Collins recently told MTV News that playing Marvel mutant Silver Fox in the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” not only allowed her to embrace her Native American roots, but also brought her very close to star Hugh Jackman.
“We’re lovers,” said Collins of her character’s relationship to Wolverine.
In Marvel Comics history, Silver Fox was a former love of Wolverine, and the pair lived together in the Canadian wilderness during the late-1900s before a series of tragic events (and crossed paths with other Marvel mutants) pushed their lives in dramatically different directions. Thus far, “X-Men Origins” seems to be based closely on that chapter in the comics history of Marvel’s favorite Canucklehead, with many of the characters who play significant roles in the print series’ over-arching story already cast in the film.
As for how she prepared for the role of Silver Fox, Collins said her male counterparts had a far rougher time of it when it came to getting into character.
“They were all on super-buff diets, and I had pizza most of the time,” said Collins. “They were so jealous of me.”
“I didn’t have to beef up in this movie,” she added. “I just had to wear skimpy clothes.”

Aaron Jeffery, who stars in New Zealand’s ‘The Strip’ has confirmed his involvement in X-Men Origins: Wolverine through Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Jeffery brims with enthusiasm about his role in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, however he is loath to say too much about the film for fear of revealing the plot.
“I can’t say much, but it was a fantastic experience being part of the film … It was the biggest sandpit I’ve ever played in,” Jeffery says.
“It was a dream to work with the director, Gavin (Hood).”
