CHUD reports that Liev Schreiber (”The Sum of all Fears,” “The Manchurian Candidate”) will play Victor Creed - aka. Sabretooth - in the Gavin Hood-directed “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”.

Schreiber involvement was previously thought to be that of a young Stryker, the villain played by Brian Cox in “X2: X-Men United” who was responsible for Wolverine’s creation.

Instead “Six Feet Under” and “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall is in talks for the role of Stryker, whilst Michelle Monaghan is being sought for Silver Fox.
