Who would play Sabretooth? Keep Mane or get new blood? Triple H? No Wrestlers?

[Logan Howlett]

In the new upcoming Wolverine spin off, everyone knows that Sabretooth is a must. What is Wolvie without his sadistic arch nemisis? But who are they going to get to play the big ol' sack o' psycho?

Tyler Mane has been critisised time and again for his poor portrayle of such a pivitol character, but who do you feel? Should he return?

On that note, if he were replaced who would play him? Would they get another wrestler? Should they stay away from wrestlers and go with a profesional actor? Either way, who could pull it off?

Personaly, and don't stone me for saying this, I think that Triple H, who played a Vampire in Blade Trinity, could pull it off rather well. He has that sadistic attitude, and pulled off a similar role in Blade: Trinity. What do you think, is he acceptable?

[FaT_tONle]

U need someone big on top of a guy that can act... I don't want to see another Topher Grace type guy grabbing a Venom role... Sabertooth is a large man so I hope its Mane or triple H unless there are some bigger actors out there that can act

[Logan Howlett]

Basicaly my thoughts, though I like Grace as Brock, but its differnt here. At least with Venom they can use costuming and CG to make him bigger, but with Sabretooth they can't do that, he need to be naturaly big. He need muscel, and I don't wana see his character wasted.

[Cyclops]

Did Tyler Mane portray him poorly, or was there just nothing written for him? Because hey, looks-wise, combat-wise, Mane was a solid Sabretooth. And as a former pro wrestler, I'm certain that he knows how to be a trash-talker. He knows how to be loud, and obnoxious to boot. He'd have to, or he'd never have succeeded as a wrestler.

Give him a script with more Sabretooth-like material before we judge whether or not he was a failure.

[Logan Howlett]

Your right, I agree. However I think that the fight scene in X-Men was coriographed badly. Sabretooth is supposed to be an expertly trained fighter, martial arts and military combat style, and he is supposed to be much more limber than what was showed. So basicaly, better script, better direction, better choreography, and he COULD pull it off.

[FaT_tONle]

Plus I hate recasts... there are only two guys they need to bring back... Tyler and Kelly... I think they have to pull the trigger and resign them... I'm sure Tyler could pull it off even if it's cheezy

they just made him hell primative instead of the deadly intellgent sabertooth we all know just make him this way and he will be fine

[chaseter]

I think a recast is in order. Tyler obviously didn't fight to make Sabretooth who we wanted but I understand writing and directing dilemas. If Sabretooth is going to be a forefront villian...I would like to see an actor that can tap into that sick and saudistic side that is Sabretooth. But we do need a big bulky wrestler type guy. I do think Triple H could pull it off a lot better than Tyler.

[Gotendbz-2]

I dont think that Tyler Mane did that bad of a job, it was just that there was nothing for him to do in X1 :( . And if they did recast him (which there is no need for) I could see that Triple H guy as a pretty good Sabretooth.

[Flame on!]

I would actually get a smaller guy, a scrapper, someone who could knock you down just by looking at you. A tough as nails, no nonsense guy, but with a brain to match. I'm thinking someone like Sean Penn.

[Lactose]

I agree.

I met the fella once and he's got bags more personality than you'd think. I don't know what his range is like, but
he's life and soul and did a great 'growl' when you mentioned Wolverine. You can see him switch into WWF-mode. He was a charming pussy-cat otherwise ,and an absolute gentleman with the good lady wife.

He was doing a signing/appearing at a showing of X1 and the lady wife and I took him out for dinner. She worked for the chain of stores were he was doing the signings and we had to take him for dinner while the film was on. Chatting a bit over the meal I also got the impression he'd read a lot of Sabretooth stuff and totally loved getting the part.

I don't see why he couldn't do a lot more and couldn't carry the part further. As you say Cyc:

Give him a script with more Sabretooth-like material before we judge whether or not he was a failure.

An' hey, it's gotta be better acting than Vinnie Jones (not that I'd say that to his face)...

I know you did not just say you would have Sean Penn play Sabretooth?...........:eek: :eek: :mad: DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT SABRETOOTH LOOKS LIKE?!!!!! In the comics he is suposed to be somewhere between 6 foot 5 and 7 feet tall! He is hulking, TWICE the size of Wolverine! The personality my be acurate, but NO WAY would I watch any X-Men movie with Sean Penn as Sabretooth! Thats like saying, hey lets get Clay Akin to play Cyclops, or hey lets have Jason Mews play Wolverine! You must have been doing srugs during that post!

[Flame on!]

he is suposed to be somewhere between 6 foot 5 and 7 feet tall! He is hulking, TWICE the size of Wolverine!
A guy who is not correct in height playing a weapon x experiment in a Fox feature film? You're right, I must've gone mad.

[Logan Howlett]

Dude its not just a matter of height, but build, and over all look. Not to mention the fact that Tyler Mane has already established the basic overall look for Sabretooth, to completly change that would screw the film! Also in the case of Logan they were only a few inches off, and you try to find a 5 foot 5 actor with the skills and build for the part. you'll be fishing in one shallow pool! But Creed has a look that you just can't divert from!

[Flame on!]

Didn't you just champion Triple H to take over the role?
Also in the case of Logan they were only a few inches off
Over 12, to be exact.
But Creed has a look that you just can't divert from!
No he doesn't.

I think you're taking the Penn thing way to literally. I was basically saying that I would cast, oh I dunno, a good actor for a change. A concept that has become increasingly unpopular these days.

[Rac]

I'd keep Mane.

[Logan Howlett]

Hey a good actor I don't mind, just as long as he can maintain the image. And the height differnce on Wolverine all dpends on which comic you read, it has shifted from below 5 feet to 5 foot 5, and in ultimate he is just under 6 feet, maybe 5 foot 9. It has shifted alot over the years.

[Cyclops]

Wolverine's official height has always been 5'3". That hasn't changed. Ultimate Wolverine is 6'1", modeled more after Jackman, who is also 6'1".

[Mrh7448]

I posted in another thread that I think Trips would be good. I would give him a chance if he could do well in any audition. I've seen him in some comedy stuff outside of Blade and he comes of differently so I think he might be able to pull it off and he definitley looks the part.

If the company casts him they should release his audition tape to assuage any fears the fans might have that he's gonna be a crappy Sabretooth.

[ICXCNIKA]

TRIPLE H!!! He's even got the mutton-chops, now! And he physically looks the part much more than Tyler Mane. Triple H IS Sabretooth!

And in Blade: Trinity, we've even seen him with fangs!

Oh, and Sabretooth should definitely NOT have those black eyes!:o After all, Wolverine wasn't given his sharp canine teeth, and his being a mutant was conveyed just fine.

[ICXCNIKA]

TRIPLE H FOR SABRETOOTH!!!

http://www.411images.com/images/movies/topstory/hhhblade032204.jpg

http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2004_Blade:_Trinity/2004_blade_trinity_510.jpg

Plus, he's already been in a Marvel film! So, his being cast is a real possibilty!:up:

[Nathan]

Tyler Mane should return. In my opinion he was the perfect Sabretooth. He needs only more dialogue and more to do.

[jim_root_rules]

agreed

[Warhammer]

I hate recasting, and Tyler didn't get s*** to do anyway in X-Men, so I say keep him.

...But if Tyler Mane can't play Sabertooth again, I like the idea of Triple H being Sabertooth. People can't say he can't act, because that's what his job is, and he is big enough to play him.

[chaseter]

No one will really notice or care, except a few hardcore fanboys, at a recast. The majority of the movie going X fans IMO wouldn't really care. Triple H is better anyways IMO. We didn't get to see Mane act as Sabretooth so I am kind of leary. I thought Triple H was good in Blade Trinity. I really don't care who the actor is but I do care how they portray him...so I really don't care but I go for H if push comes to shove.

[Kmack]

I say keep Tyler Mane, he was awesome imo:up:

[Sentinel X]

HHH doesnt seem too bad...Sabertooth doesnt require a four star actor to play him...its quite easy as long as they give him role so I go for the wrestler since he has the look down

I think you're taking the Penn thing way to literally. I was basically saying that I would cast, oh I dunno, a good actor for a change. A concept that has become increasingly unpopular these days.
But sabertooths charecter doesnt have much variations in terms of acting...back when I used to watch wrestling (many moons ago :o ) ...HHH seemed pretty sadistic, and in Blade he didnt do too bad so I wouldnt mind...I actually love the idea, since he looks the part :up:

[Logan Howlett]

Triple H, from what I have seen in both Blade Trinity and his performances in the WWF and now that its the WWE, he plays a psychotic personality well. That sadistic tone that has always been Sabretooth. I think I could easily see him trying to toment Wolverine and torture the poeple he loves. Its that dark humor that he can portray that I think Triple H could do perfectly, the way he can skin you and eat pop tarts at the same time. The way Sbaretooth has always come off is psychotic, dark, and animalistic, yet so poetic when he speaks of horrible things. Trip H could pull it off well IMO.

[Abe Rush]

I did not particularly like the "movie version" of Sabertooth.
They portrayed him as yet another pointless ( and mindless ) drone, which made me not really want to see more of the character after he was "defeated" in X-Men. The problem with the Wolverine movie is that it involves a lot of elements from the other X-Men movies ( namely the main actor ) and it would seem kind of weird to completely change what they went with in the first movie. Still, you can't have a Wolverine movie without at least mentionning Sabertooth and maybe since it's a prequel, there is a chance the character could end up being good.


Personnaly, for the Wolverine movie, I would try to distance myself as much as possible from the X-Men movies, thus creating a feeling of "other interpretation of..." for Logan, allowing for the presence of elements that may not "fit" with the other movies...

I agee with you, completely!:up: The Wolverine movie should have a very different feel than the X-Men films. And Sabretooth needs to be done differently, as well.

[xwolverine2]

i liked tyler mane:(

[Lone Wolf]

Wolverine's official height has always been 5'3". That hasn't changed. Ultimate Wolverine is 6'1", modeled more after Jackman, who is also 6'1".

Jackman's height is 6'2" and a half, while the Ultimate version of Wolverine stands at 5'9".

[Cyclops]

Ultimate Wolverine has SHRUNK?!

Because when the series started, he was officially, on the records, 6'1".

[ang_hulk]

Tyler mane was awesome,what did he do wrong with that role? also,hes a fan addict,I spoke with him for a good 15 minutes and so did the people in line behind me(we where first in line as wcc) and then when a dude in a wheel chair came up he talked to him for to the point of having others come up and join the convo as he signed autgraphs,he even signed the dueds chair for godsake.hes awesome and CARES about the role,he mentioned not having any issues with being life flighted due to his contacts because HE LEFTS THEM IN to get used to being the character and seeing like "a lion,which is how i wanted it"-direct quote from him to me-I think he was perfect and shouldent be recast but should be re conceptulized to be more scruffy.I want him coverd in animals furs and raggy clthing and hair from head to toe and since budjet will allow,some semi quadraped movement.Hes perfect and just the right face for the job.Against triple h,hes not an actor and his dialog left much to be desired(cuting away my inner ear for instace) and hes been to many places,tyler was new and is and always will be saber tooth,his lines,although short and minimal were well done "scream for me" was it right? well that was enough and he did it just fine.

edit-can somone ps a pic of mane with more hair and more dirt and grime?
edit-Hes signed for two more films by the way so i think hes expected to return.

[PROLIFIK1]

I agree, I've always seen Triple H as Sabertooth. Even before the X films, I always imagined him being Creed if there ever was a Xmen film. I wasn't quite disappointed with Mane being Sabertooth but I wouldn't have mind it being Triplle HHH. As far as acting is concerned, I'm not sure how it would of panned out.

[metalmikey]

i think first off that if they do bring back sabertooth in the wolverine move then they have too have the same guy play him. Tyler mane is almost 7 feet tall and if i know Sabertooth so is he. Jackman is 6'2 so they need someone that will tower over him...triple H wiould have been awesome playing Sabertooth but they already had Mane and need to keep it that way. Juts like evryoen else said Tyler mane played what they wrote for him to do, maybe this time he will get a bigger part in the movie and show how much he can actually act as Victor Creed.

[Infinity9999x]

Wolverine's official height has always been 5'3". That hasn't changed. Ultimate Wolverine is 6'1", modeled more after Jackman, who is also 6'1".

Well, they draw Wolverine more like a 5'7 to 5'8 kind of guy, that or most of the chicks he hangs out with are 5'2, because I've noticed lots of artists draw them shorter then him, but then again that may just be out of habit because girls are usually drawn shorter then the men.

For me though, I'd like to have my Wolverine at 5'7ish because 5'3 is a little too short for me. I don't know why, I just wouldn't like it as much.

[Fanticon]

I say give Mane another chance...but I also don't have a problem with them re-casting since its a prequel and they should make him look a little different...definitely no more wrestlers...there are other ways to get better actors to appear larger and taller than they really are...they just need to cast the part first and then figure out how to make it work later.

[Doomed Hero Rising]

I think that Tyler would do good he just didn't have a big part in X1. I was thinking about how someone said that he was primitive instead or intelligent. What if at the end of the wolverine movie we see Weapon X or Stryker or Magneto use that control serum like from X2 to get Sabretooth all primitive and obeying. I mean would sabretooth really have obeyed magneto in the comics? Plus if he's intelligent and all in the wolverine movie would the audiance wonder how he got this way?

[squeekness]

I liked Tyler Mane as Sabretooth as well. I thought he did just fine with what they gave him. He could have done more if the role had been better written. I liked very much how he spoke to Storm -- Scream for me. That was pure Victor Creed. I say bring him back.

[Majik1387]

Keep Mane. Forget Triple-H. No other wrestlers.

[Warhammer]

I wouldnt care.
Mane or Triple H would do great jobs.

Triple H isn't bad, at all.

[FYI CREW]

Tyler Mane claims to be 6'10". Though I saw him before and I would say 6'9".

HHH claims to be 6'4". I have seen him also and I am only 6'5" and he came to about my nose so I would say he is only 6'2" or so. Hardly bigger than Jackman. Plus, if you have seen his legs, they are really small (too many steroids).

Now, out of the two, Tyler would be my choice simply because he is a lot bigger than Jackman.

However, if we are going with wrestlers, my choice for Sabertooth would be THE BIGSHOW. 7' tall, 500 pounds. And has that monstrous voice to play the part. The problem is BIGSHOW isn't a fast guy but with FX they could make him look awesome.

-JASON

[x-fan]

keep tyler, releasing next year. at least that is one actor locked in :)

[jim_root_rules]

the big show.........are u mad lol :D tyler mane all the way!!!!!

[FireandIce213]

Yea I agree if they write his part better Mane would be great as Sabretooth.

[Asteroid-Man]

He cant not return. He is THE movie sabretooth. If you change him now, later on people will get angry that he is different. And non-fans will get confused, you hae to keep the same actors NO MATTER WHAT

[x-fan]

unfortunately that isn't always the way it works astroid man, how many times was kitty cast in x-men movies and jubes as well. there was no one saying ...huh i thought she was played by blah blah blah. it dont matter with mane as sabes no one but us well know it was a recast *shrug*

[Sentinel X]

-JASONfirst of all i think Triple H is huge...well the last time I saw him(Blade 3). Also height can easily be fixed...They made Mickey Rourke(sp) from Sin city a 7 foot monster when hes really like 5 foot something.


Also Tyler really looked bad as Saber...:(

[CatClaw92]

i love recasting :D

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think Mane should be kept, he showed a little bit in Troy that he can actually act, so give him more to do in Wolverine and i think he could handle it.

[Angel Of Dark]

they will keep Mane as Sabortooth, garanteed....... he was fine in X1...... my only concern is that they show both Wolverine and Sabortooth getting amnesia, that way we know why they both had no idea who each other was in X1........


also, i want a cameo of Ian in this film, show him finding sabortooth at the end

[LostSon88]

Tyler Mane should return. In my opinion he was the perfect Sabretooth. He needs only more dialogue and more to do.

Exactly...its all about consistiency peeps. :up:

Triple H wasn't that big in Blade 3. With Mickey Rourke they also used the green screen to make him look taller; It would be kind of different making someone taller with the rest of the cast in the same picture.

I didn't think Tyler looked bad, the comic costume really wouldn't work onscreen and I thought it was a good interpretation of what he would wear, but it's your opinion.

[EnSabahNur]

Mane

[ang_hulk]

as I mentioned,hes already signed for two more x-films,both he and wizard said this so his return is pretty set.

[tamron]

I definitely think they should keep Mane.

I just don't see how people think it's Mane's fault Sabes didn't do more in X-Men. I mean, the script gave him very little to do,and it's not like he's some Hollywood star, if he "fought" for the character, they might well have just replaced him on the spot.

What he did do I felt was good, the "scream for me" bits hinted at his sadistic side, and he has the right size for the role.

I think HHH still lookes more like sabertooth than mane...If they still get mane I wouldnt be too disappointed but Im still hoping they dont

[hutch007]

i didnt mine tyler mane. he did what he could with what he was dealt. but i really dont like the idea of triple h. sorry

[rnewbz]

I think Ron Pearlman could be a good sabertooth, he's used to wearing makeup and does great voice work.

[Fenriswolf]

Mane had what 3 lines in all of X1? Theres no way to really know how well he can act so I honestly cant say. I do know that he was horrible looking, yes hes big and hairy but he does look like a normal guy sans the teeth and claws. Id like to see something more along the lines of the Return of Weapon X look. While Wolverine would be content to wander the wilderness in skins Victor would stay where the "meat" is. As a serial killer he would have to dress normally and be rather good looking. For his "work" clothes he would look best as a sort of mercenary. Cloths he can move around in and not get his nice deerskin coat caught on things. :)

[ICXCNIKA]

TRIPLE H FOR SABRETOOTH!!! He NATURALLY looks like Sabretooth! Mane needs contacts and fake facial hair to look the part.:o

[ISHMAEL]

I think Ron Pearlman could be a good sabertooth, he's used to wearing makeup and does great voice work.

too bad he is already :hellboy:

yea it would be easier to get him than to recast

[ISHMAEL]

i love recasting :D

why ?? when your so use to the actor who already played him

[The_Guyver]

Hugh Jackman and Jean-Paul Lavesque aka HHH are BOTH 6'2". The guy originally considered for the Sabretooth role, but for some reason not offered it; Kevin Nash, can play sadistic BETTER than HHH and is 6'11", more athletic than Tyler Mane and has a more menacing voice & facial expressions than either man. You guys would've seen him as The Russian in The Punisher, but he usually has long hair and a beard. He's the closest in looks and character, as portrayed in his wrestling persona, to Sabretooth that I can think of, whereas The Big Show looks like Snarl.

[Majik1387]

i didnt mine tyler mane. he did what he could with what he was dealt. but i really dont like the idea of triple h. sorry

You're not alone.

[Lil_Flip246]

How did he do a bad job? He only had like two lines!! HE WAS AWESOME!!

[Sub-Zero]

nash is a terrible actor. if you're talking about his role in the punisher, well...he didn't have any speaking lines. he was terrible in grandma's boy too. tyler mane hasn't really had many lines in other movies either. i'm really against wrestlers making the leap to movies. they should just get a buffed up ACTOR and use cgi or whatever to make him look bigger than wolverine.

[Mdizzle]

Exactly...its all about consistiency peeps. :up:

Mane for sure. I don't think it would really do anything to get say HHH to reprise the role.

[Horrorfan]

He did a pretty good job in the game and did a good job with what he had in x1, so why not? it would be stupid to yank him out of the role, and someone like hhh just doesnt look threatening enough with his cartoon nose.

[Sub-Zero]

if mane does come back then i hope he doesn't look like he did in x-men.

[DOG LIPS]

I'd like to see Mane back, or get someone else. I have nothing against HHH, but I don't think he'd be a good Sabre, IMHO.

[Johnny Israel]

If were gunna keep throwing out wrestlers like Trips, Big show, and Nash for sabretooth, hell ill join in. Lets Get the Sandman, Creed should viciously cane wolverine while drinking beer. Maybe CM Punk, after all blood isnt a drug, so drink away! Stevie Richards for Victor Creed, cause hes just crazy.

In all seriousness and without any more ranting, I think Mane is fine and serviceable Sabretooth. I dont think HHH would have the time and desire to do the movie, plus i dont think fox is going out of their way for a new actor when they got the original under contract. :wolverine

[Asteroid-Man]

unfortunately that isn't always the way it works astroid man, how many times was kitty cast in x-men movies and jubes as well. there was no one saying ...huh i thought she was played by blah blah blah. it dont matter with mane as sabes no one but us well know it was a recast *shrug* Ok whatever, but if Wolverine was recast after X-men youu would be angry, Sabretooth was one of the big villains of X-Men the movie. Ktti had one line in films one and two, Jubilee had one line in the entire Trilogy! and they only had 2 seconds of screen time. There is a big difference

[ang_hulk]

nash is a terrible actor. if you're talking about his role in the punisher, well...he didn't have any speaking lines. he was terrible in grandma's boy too. tyler mane hasn't really had many lines in other movies either. i'm really against wrestlers making the leap to movies. they should just get a buffed up ACTOR and use cgi or whatever to make him look bigger than wolverine.


He sucked as super shredder to.

[Neto Magnus]

If Toothy is recast I'm gonna give up on X-Men entirely.

[Asteroid-Man]

Sadly I probably will too :(

[Marvel Man]

Id say go for new blood that isnt a wrestler because a person with not much acting creditability will be most looked upon with critiecs and otherwise. I want a built big actor, because i want this film to rock.

[01lduff]

bad news for some incase some of you have not heard it looks like tyler mane is staying on as sabertooth look

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0541932/

[tamron]

IMDb is not always reliable, but I hope they are in this case.

[Mdizzle]

If Toothy is recast I'm gonna give up on X-Men entirely.

Hhaha. I thought Mane was perfectly fine as Sabertooth, sooo wouldn't make sense for them to change him, unless he refused to reprise the roll or something.

[Sentinel X]

If Toothy is recast I'm gonna give up on X-Men entirely.LMAO @ your avatar :up:

I hope saber gets recast, I don't know why exactly. Maybe he has potential...he wasnt too bad in X1 I just dont want him in Wolverine

[Horrorfan]

I'm telling ya people who haven't played it, he was really good in the official game. He nails sabretooth perfectly (and he did do a good job with what little he had in x men).

Not using the same actor would definitly hurt the story in terms of continuity, and none of the other wrestler's ''performances'' in their respective movies come close to mane in xmen and x3 the game.

[N_z0]

I'm usually against recasting but I think with Sabretooth they can get away with it.

[TNC9852002]

Tyler Mane is "in talks". I think he could pull off "Creed". I mean, he doesn't need to be some Shakespearean actor or anything like that. I hope he takes it to keep the movies consistent, even between spinoffs.

-TNC

[ElectroFlare]

If recasting is needed, and they wanted a wrestler(keep in mind I haven't watched wrestling in years) but just by physical standpoint, The Undertaker has the hieght, but isn't fat like the Big Show(previously mentioned in this thread) and he can definately look intimidating. I don't know about pulling of Creed's evil, sadistic dark humor though.

Honestly though, I'd rather have Mane back...

[Destructicus]

What about Test from the new ECW. When he had hair his face did resemble a maybe young Sabretooth. Now hes all buffed up they can give him a wig or let his hair grow out and hed be perfect.

[Horrorfan]

dudes, i'll say it again:


IF YOU THINK HE NEEDS RECASTING, PLAY THE X3 GAME. BUY IT (OR IF YOU'RE CHEAP, RENT) AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE DOES A DAMN FINE JOB WHEN GIVEN GOOD MATERIAL (HE IS MORE PROMINANT HERE).

I put it in caps so those of you that missed it first time can process it easier.

[chaseter]

^Yea...his grunts, growls, and limited lines were great...(cough sarcasm).

And do not buy, rent, or borrow that game...it sucks big time.

[Horrorfan]

If all you heard was grunts and growls, you either

played the first level then gave the game in


ignored the cut scenes

or

are extremely deaf.

[XCharlieX]

I did hear Sabretooth will be in this prequel so id say Tyler Mane again... no point in recasting for the hell of it.

[hitpehoaos]

i dont really know any big guys that can act so lets stick to what we have got

[heypapajinx]

Triple H looks perfect. but so did Tyler Mane. wahhhh!! i don't know!!
*head explodes*
mmm, jello.

[Acro]

I think they should keep him, but make him have regular acting classes and be forced to read all the essential issues with Sabretooth in them. That way he might learn something about who Sabretooth is; other than this bland, growling, quiet and totally un-scary little furball.

Getting a new actor would just look stupid. As if they would have replaced Ralph Maccio in Karate Kid 2.

[hitpehoaos]

Yeh but Ralph Maccio is a legend

[TRWalter Kovacs]

bring make mane, i hate recasting!

[Wolverines Bro]

i think triple h because he looks the part and the old sabertooth wasnt what i was looking for

[*xmenfan*]

Keep tyler mane he did a good job playing sabortooth in X1 he just needs more dialogue.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

In the new upcoming Wolverine spin off, everyone knows that Sabretooth is a must. What is Wolvie without his sadistic arch nemisis? But who are they going to get to play the big ol' sack o' psycho?

Tyler Mane has been critisised time and again for his poor portrayle of such a pivitol character, but who do you feel? Should he return?

On that note, if he were replaced who would play him? Would they get another wrestler? Should they stay away from wrestlers and go with a profesional actor? Either way, who could pull it off?

Personaly, and don't stone me for saying this, I think that Triple H, who played a Vampire in Blade Trinity, could pull it off rather well. He has that sadistic attitude, and pulled off a similar role in Blade: Trinity. What do you think, is he acceptable?

I thought Tyler Mane sucked as Sabretooth. I could welcome Triple H as Sabretooth. H least has some acting chops whether people agree wrestling is acting or not.

However if Sabretooth comes back he should look like Sabretooth, not some biker guy with fangs and a furcoat.

[r8hitman]

Tyler Mane should return. In my opinion he was the perfect Sabretooth. He needs only more dialogue and more to do.

I agree with this statement. Mane was the perfect choice for Sabretooth.

[Mal'Akai]

Keep Mane!! Let Triple H be Conan.

[Chris Wallace]

Tyler Mane should return. In my opinion he was the perfect Sabretooth. He needs only more dialogue and more to do.
Full agreement.

why change actors just give him something to do and cut his hair and trim those god aweful eyebrows and things will be fine

[Victor Creed]

So in other words make him look like Sabretooth rather than a sideshow idiot. Personally I think Mane has the height and such of Sabretooth, but I am unsure as to what presence he has since I have not seen him act or seen his wrestling persona. I am not familiar with wrestling that much, but I do know that Triple H portrays an ego that would fit Sabes and he also has more of a Sabretooth face.

If only you could combine the two it'd be perfect.

[x-fan]

we'll never know unless the give mane something more to do than stand around and a nd grunt ...thanks for that singer :(

His acting in "The Scorpion King" & "How To Make A Monster" suggests he can pull it off.

[r8hitman]

The only character I can see Triple H playing is Thor.

His "accent" and lines would probably be corny enough for him to pull it off...any other character would require too much acting talent (which I dont think Triple H has).

[Chris Wallace]

I like the idea of HHH as Thor; though it'll likely be the Ultimate version.

[Savage]

Keep Mane. Nothing's wrong with him at all. Just give the guy more to work with. I was giddy every time he was on screen. He has such a presence. Both him and Triple H are even choices but Tyler edges out in the height department so I give it to him.

[Stripesy Strip]

I don`t want just this big bruiser wrestler! Mane was ok as a stupid lackey in the first movie but to go toe-to-toe with Jackman in a long movie with dialogue, you need a good actor and Sabretooth has to be a smart cat that plays mind games with Wolverine.

My pick would be Josh Holloway, "Sawyer" from Lost. He would be the rascal that would be able to stick a knive(or claws) in someone`s back. Give him legs prostetics a la Frankenstein to make him a good 5 foot taller and it`s set.

[tamron]

Sabretooth is no 'rascal'. He's psychotic, but no rascal. And he is a big bruiser. Mane can deliver, he simply didn't have the material to do so in 'X-Men'.

I mean, with all the characterization issues the X-films had from page to screen, is it really that hard to believe that the writers simply didn't flesh Sabretooth out, rather than the performance being Mane's fault? Every X-film turned a noted villian into a one-note lacky.

[Pauluz]

I say keep Tyler Mane, he did a good job and prosthetics now a days can give his X1 suit with the aweful eyebrows and the obviously fake claws a whole new look. The guy has the height and the look. Triple H is too stocky and short for my taste.

[BMM]

Keep Mane. There's no need to recast Sabretooth. If Mane can say the words "runt" and "shrimp," while convincingly making the same generalized threats (Hope you like sreamin') as Sabretooth always does, then he should be fine.

You are an idiot. On a side note, all of you "Lost" fanboys should stop parading the cast for every hero/villain in threads like this. The only halfway decent thing I saw someone say a Lost cast member would be ok as is when they said that the same guy as you mentioned as Gambit. (I said it was ok, not great).

Besides, as it was just said Sabretooth isn't a rascal...a rascal ties your shoes together to make you trip, a rascal puts pubic hair in your food when you aren't looking, a rascal does not murder people and put out an heir of sadistic genius, lol.

The problem is that most people just want Sabretooth to remain a useless one dimensional character to make Logan seem much deeper. If the creators are going to make Logan the center of the X-Universe, the least they could do is actually make his most recognizable/associated nemesis have the same importance and character. I myself am not a fan of the comics in which Sabes is a dip**** goon, but rather prefer the ones in which he is exactly what he should be, a sort of mercenary with a sick sense of humor, doing what benefits him the most in everything.

Sounds to me like some of you just have a low opinion/understanding of what/who Sabretooth is. But then some of you seem to also be on the same page as me.

[Kevin Roegele]

As much as I despise the idea of wrestlers playing superheroes/villains just because they look like Rob Liefeld characters, it works sometimes. Tyler Mane was decent as Sabretooth, although he played him as a dumb heavy and not a sinister, vicious beast man. Vinnie Jones was appalling as Juggernaut - that was one instance where a wrestler SHOULD have been hired.

[Destructicus]

Mane just needs some better lines, thats all.

[nachoman]

Keep mane, drop the long hair and trenchcoat coat look though.

I like his hair similar to wolverines only a bit longer and blonde.

He should look really verocious and primal, like in the comics.

That is horrible and cheesy.

I would hate to see any X-Film you would make. The only way Sabretooth would work is to make him less gay and "primal." You can be Sabretooth and not be a dip****. In fact, most of the Sabretooth renditions are far from, I run around in tights and claw people. Given how the X-Men have all be done in the movies, they need to make him look more realistic than a hermit/trapper. He needs to be the merc style that he has been portrayed as for a while now.

[nachoman]

Just because i said sabertooth should look more primal and more like an animal, it doesn't mean I want him to be a big dumb freak who just kills for no reason. Obviously he should be a worthy nemisis for wolverine both physically and mentally.

I was only commenting on sabertooth's appearance. In the first x men movie sabertooth looked like he belonged in the hell's angels or on a park bench at night drinking booze out of a paper bag and asking passers by for spare change.

I agree that his look sucked in that movie, but the picture you provided was worse, and just reverted back to the old cliche spandex mexican wrestler look (minus the mask). I can't find the picture, but I prefer the newer version of that costume if need be, it was in the comic where Sabretooth was in a trenchcoat and the gang tried to screw with him and he ripped off the guy's arm. I'll see if i can find it anywhere.

[kakashi]

I say keep mane.

Definitely change the look. Sabretooth in the x-men movie looked like a rock troll with that overgrown brows....that thick overgrown brows would have made even Rock Lee cringe.

No costume and no furr coat either. He should look the way sbaretooth did in that mary Shelley overdrive miniseries in my opinion.

[WeaponXProject]

I agree with you 100%!:woot::up:




Me F***ing, too! Mane blows and so did his outfit!

[larryfilmmaker]

Did Tyler Mane portray him poorly, or was there just nothing written for him? Because hey, looks-wise, combat-wise, Mane was a solid Sabretooth. And as a former pro wrestler, I'm certain that he knows how to be a trash-talker. He knows how to be loud, and obnoxious to boot. He'd have to, or he'd never have succeeded as a wrestler.

Give him a script with more Sabretooth-like material before we judge whether or not he was a failure.

haha he DIDNT succeed as a wrestler. He was a nobody. If they had to replace him... I think the most sadistic looking, monstrous Sabretooth lookalike is Psycho Sid (Sid Viscious). I mean, his body, his face... everything is perfect and he's good at the whole crazy acting deal. Usually I hate the thought of a wrestler being in a movie but I think he's just too perfect not to.

[larryfilmmaker]

Keep Mane. There's no need to recast Sabretooth. If Mane can say the words "runt" and "shrimp," while convincingly making the same generalized threats (Hope you like sreamin') as Sabretooth always does, then he should be fine.

well who's he gonna call a "runt" or a "shrimp"? 6'3 Hugh Jackman?

[Spider-Fan83]

whatever happened to Kevin Sorbo, or is he to old by now,
back in the day he would of been perfect for the role
http://greetz.com/Xtreme/Celebrities/Sorbo/kevin9.jpg
(they should probably just get the guy they used in the first one)

[BMM]

well who's he gonna call a "runt" or a "shrimp"? 6'3 Hugh Jackman?

Sure. Mane is 6'10'' and he wore 4 inch lifts in 2000's X-Men, making him 7'2'' tall. At that height, he's almost a foot above Jackman . . . and Sabretooth is only a little over a foot taller than Wolverine according to Marvel.com.

. . . and yeah, Sabretooth should do more than make the same generalized threats if he is to be a key player in this movie.

[KingOfDreams]

It would be hard to find a non-wrestler who fit the body type but I'd like to have someone who could actually act.

[BMM]

Yeah, I'll be interested to see what route they take . . . in both casting and the direction of the character in the movie.

Your right his size was great but his general appearance and the role he was given, or made to play, as Sabertoothe was awful. I may give him a second chance but they, Marvel, should keep their options open for Sabertoothe. There may be better options...and there probably are. But your right about his height, he was tall enough but not frightening enough and he just didn't have that snarling look that Sabertoothe always has. He was more a big dumb brute in X1.

[Spider-Fan83]

Sound F/X don't make you scary, dude. He was dumb and Sabretooth is not dumb. IN the comics he looked sweet. He had the longer sharper nails and had a more sharp jaw and animalistic look to him. If by savage you mean the caveman, ok. By savage I mean evil. I want him to be Sabretooth not look like he just got done hunting a Sabretooth as prehistoric man.

[WeaponXProject]

Anybody hear of any other promising guys to play Sabretooth. One of the guys who was an Oricai, Im not saying that right but its the monsterous looking characters from Lord of the Rings. You know, all black and scary hatched from the ground guys. If one of those guys were huge and as scary looking as those things without the masks on they'd be a sweet Sabretooth. I'll go look for one....

Ah. Thought you were refering to his looks because in the comics he is nowhere near as beastial in appearance. Movie Sabretooth's freaking eyebrow's were down to his cheeks for christ's sake.

I look at my logs everyday and saw a few people visiting from here so I came to say hello.

I would love the chance to play in a well respected international movie (ie high paying).

I have been watching progress on a few other charcters - Thor is one I'd definitely be interested in and the new (one day) Conan movie of course.

Thanks for linking to my site, I did not know this forum existed, there is a ton of info on here - and some new targets for me to aim for.

Hopefully my next movie will shoot on schedule and I'll be in the USA in Feb, rattling some agents front doors off the hinges.

I've actually brought up this choice before but the fanboys went nuts about recasting. :confused: Anyway, yeah, I'd love to see Perlman as Sabretooth if they get a taller stunt double and pull a Lord of The Rings. I think they're either the same height (Perlman and Jackman) or Hugh is taller. Not sure. But they were able to make Perlman 6'6 in Hellboy so maybe they can add 4 inches.

For the character he'd be perfect though. Him and Michael Wincott (Top Dollar in The Crow).

[Horhey]

Jackman's height is 6'2" and a half, while the Ultimate version of Wolverine stands at 5'9".

Original Marvel's Wolverine is supposed to be 5'3 but he is always drawn like hes 5'8.

[WeaponXProject]

Original Marvel's Wolverine is supposed to be 5'3 but he is always drawn like hes 5'8.
I always thought of that too. Truthfully from most comic angles and drawings you can tell he's smaller but if he were only a few inches smaller it would not be noticed. I don't think the height in the movie is an issue. I would like Hugh to be smaller and Perlman to be 7 feet but oh well. I'm satisfied and pushing for Perlman.

I got to hand it to The Comedian he maybe new (just like me) but he was right on the money with that pick. Very well picked.:up:

This goes to prove that just cause your a "noob", and I've been called it a million times, doesn't mean people should discredit your point of view. Once again good find The Comedian.

ya, I guess a recast, or changing the character too much, wouldn't be that good of an idea
if Sabretooth is in the movie (I still have doubt he even will be in it) keep him the same (maybe some slight character improvements, and or development) but, have it consistent with the first movie, if this is suppose to be a semi prequel

[WeaponXProject]

But bringing in Ron Perlman is definitely an upgrade in acting ability and looks.

Triple H As Sabertooth Would Be Awesome. He's A Very Decent Actor. As For The Look I Think He Has It

[Sentry2k2]

I'm a huge HHH fan, and I think he'd be good for Sabretooth. But i dont see it happening for 2 reasons
1.) Mane is already under contract to appear as Sabretooth for at least another film
2.) I've heard they want to start filming around January. There is no way Vince McMahon is going to write one of his biggest stars out of storylines to do a movie around this time, because its the start of the build-up to Wrestlemania.

But otherwise, I'd rather have HHH be Sabretooth. That or maybe Test.

Triple H As Sabertooth Would Be Awesome. He's A Very Decent Actor. As For The Look I Think He Has It

I don't know about that but he does have the look.

[douche]

I know you guys said no wrestlers, but at least consider Kevin Nash. He was that big russian guy in that awful Punisher movie, and although that movie stunk his fight scene with Thomas Jane was the most entertaining part of that stinkfest. He was also the overly sensitive prison gaurd in The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler, he was hilarious in that movie. That experience with comedic acting should come in handy when portraying Sabretooth, he does have one twisted sense of humor. On top of everything else, Kevin Nash stands at roughly 7 ft and he's got plenty of girth, unlike the tall and lanky Sabretooth from X-1. I think choosing a bonified actor for the role is being a bit unrealistic. Sure Ron Perlman makes for a great character but he's gonna be doing Hellboy 2 he's not going to have the time.

[douche]

http://www.kevinnash.net/images2004/backstage/pics/bs0414u2.jpgFor future reference, this is Kevin Nash. The make-up people would save alot of time making him look like an imposing villain than they would on any other actor or for that matter any other wrestler.

[Savage]

Always wanted him for Sabretooth in the first place. Now both him and Rebecca can have something in common.

Tyler Mane definately was not lanky though.

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/warner_brothers/troy/tyler_mane/berzerker.jpg

Either one'll do fine for me really. Just give the character more dialogue.

Kevin Nash has my vote. He was also the Russian in the Punisher movie. Dont know if it would be a good idea to change actors though. Not like people wouldnt notice. Maybe Tyler Mane might actually be a decent actor.

[Savage]

Sid Vicious looks more like Sabretooth than Nash does.

Oh yeah, definately. In fact I think some artists took some liberties in the 90s to make him look more like Sid. Too bad about his bum leg and the whole old age thing.

I think Mane can pull it off too but Nash pretty much IS the character. He could have pulled off The Russian's lines too if they gave him any.

[Crazy Venom]

Lets see how Mane does in Halloween....

Im definitely not a fan of the Sid look, lol. Nash would be okay, but there is just something missing when I look at him that doesn't work for me, not sure what it is exactly though.

[Savage]

Fangs?

[Damiean Dark]

It has to be triple H.

[Leon the Professional]

Keep Mane, he is a great Sabretooth. His shortcomings in X1 were not Mane's fault, they were the fault of the characterization Singer chose for him. Singer got his sadistic side, but he made him growl too often and seem like a dumb brute instead of a cunning killer.

Just tone down his prosthetics so he doesn't look so much like a caveman, don't dress him up in dirty torn clothes so he doesn't look so much like a homeless person, and give him more dialogue than growling.

[Kangellove13]

In the new upcoming Wolverine spin off, everyone knows that Sabretooth is a must. What is Wolvie without his sadistic arch nemisis? But who are they going to get to play the big ol' sack o' psycho?

Tyler Mane has been critisised time and again for his poor portrayle of such a pivitol character, but who do you feel? Should he return?

On that note, if he were replaced who would play him? Would they get another wrestler? Should they stay away from wrestlers and go with a profesional actor? Either way, who could pull it off?

Personaly, and don't stone me for saying this, I think that Triple H, who played a Vampire in Blade Trinity, could pull it off rather well. He has that sadistic attitude, and pulled off a similar role in Blade: Trinity. What do you think, is he acceptable?

Triple H of course should play sabbertooth,no one else can.He fits the profile of big,ugly,and scary looking with a lot of hair on his face.

Word.

The 'dumb brute' angle always pissed me off.

Rather than get Sabertooth, we got 'when sadistic go moron'. :whatever:

[gamemiester]

tyler Mane was just given a poor role in which he didnt do much, i dont think it was his fault, they should put him in the film but give him a bigger role.

[cyke18]

Did Tyler Mane portray him poorly, or was there just nothing written for him? Because hey, looks-wise, combat-wise, Mane was a solid Sabretooth. And as a former pro wrestler, I'm certain that he knows how to be a trash-talker. He knows how to be loud, and obnoxious to boot. He'd have to, or he'd never have succeeded as a wrestler.

Give him a script with more Sabretooth-like material before we judge whether or not he was a failure.
yeah das true, bring Mane back even tho **** this movie they ruined cyclops and x3 ta make wolverine 3 so now we gettin a wolverin 4:whatever:

[K.B.]

I dont know if anyones said this yet but I always thought that the Undertaker would have made a perfect Sabertooth especially when he turned into the biker.

I dunno man dye the hair blond and cover up the tats and he'd be pretty good.

[Savage]

I always thought Taker would do a good job. Especially during his biker days. There are better people for the role though.

[K.B.]

Oh I'm not saying the Taker is the be all to end all just throwin my 2 cents in...I also would love to see either Nash or Sid do it. I didn't like Mane and the make up job was just god-awful. He looked more like a big dog than Sabertooth.
The problem with HHH doing it is he is 6'4 and jackmans 6 something and I think you should still have a height difference between Logan and Creed. With Nash, Sid or even the Taker the height factor is no problem at all.

[Leon the Professional]

Triple H of course should play sabbertooth,no one else can.He fits the profile of big,ugly,and scary looking with a lot of hair on his face.



So you want a guy who is at most an inch (if at all) taller than Jackman to play Sabretooth? I don't want to see a repeat of X3 where Juggernaut is barely taller than Wolverine, especially since we have Mane who is 7 inches taller than Jackman. He also has a much better look to him. His face looks more chiseled whereas HHH's looks chubbier.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

My vote would still go for Mane.

The Taker... I dunno, his face just looks too... "sad" for the part. Or something.

And HHH and Nash, seems to me they'd have to force the proper facial expressions too often.

Oh well... *shrugs*

[Joker's Lackey]

I think Taker has the best voice for Sabes. And the eyes, the guy has scary eyes. Taker for Sabes.

[crazycuban]

Not too sure how familiar y'all are familiar with him but I think Nathan Jones would be a pretty decent Sabertooth...He's got the size and the scary look down pretty damn good. i recently saw the Protector (could have been a better flick, but ok none the less) and he makes a very good villain.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/

[Mr. Socko]

Nash...7 feet tall....good actor....good wrestler....perfect Sabretooth.

I'm only against Hunter because he's just 6'4 standing to a 6'2 Wolverine.

Full story:

Could Sabretooth be plotting to take another bite out of Hugh Jackman? According to massive actor/wrestler Tyler Mane, discussions are under way to have his evil mutant from the original "X-Men" movie return for the highly anticipated Wolverine spinoff flick. "We will see," an optimistic Mane revealed recently. "There is talk of a Wolverine-Sabretooth [plot], and we will see what happens with that." Mane might have some competition from Vinnie Jones, however, who has insisted in the past that his Juggernaut will be the target of those famed adamantium claws. Nevertheless, Mane's comments would seem to support fans who believe the prequel will have Logan seeking revenge against Victor Creed — who eventually became Sabretooth in the "X-Men" comic book series. "We will see," Mane said cryptically. "You never know." ...

Thanks for that - can never figure out why I can't get stories on that MTV site, either through IE or Firefox...

I think Vinnie Jones was just keep his name out there - doubt if Juggernaut is in this.

[broblacksteel]

Juggernaut is NOT in the script...and YES, SABERTOOTH and STRYKER are the main villians...

[Donnie Darko]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/

he is definitely huge and intimidating, but instead of Sabretooth, he would have made a better Juggernaut, or if he ever appears as some kind of side villain or something, Cyber

[Zombie_samurai]

Tyler mane should stay Sabretooth

[Bren]

Mane will stay as Sabretooth. But that Nathan Jones is a scary looking guy - I reckon yup. Can anyone remember the huge guy in Troy? Was it him, either way he also has the look...

[Conan Stevens]

Yep the big guy in Troy was Nathan, he also played as the strongman in Jet Li's Fearless (not sure of US title).

He is currently in Thailand with me shooting a new Thai film for International US release:

[Destiny Is Near]

i would love to see HHH as Sabretooth since im like one of the biggest Wrestling fans of all time, BUT i love Tylers size, he dwarfed Wolverine in the movie.

[Deep Thinkin'!]

HHH seems perfect. So does Nash.

We just need him bigger than BIG. Sabretooth is one big bad mofo, so we can't have some wimped out Sabre like we had in X1. Tyler looked way too tame, I was glad that they killed him off. There were several parts in which he just looked like a confused dog.

I won't be sad if he plays Sabre again, I'll just hope he acts meaner.

[bastard]

celene dion. seriously.

[iamlegend]

Wrestlers are horrendous actors, and Sabretooth (assuming he actually speaks a bit more this time) isn't a character that one of those muscleheads could portray accurately.

It'd be a bad parody of Blade 3. HHH did fine there because he was playing a dumb goon. But Sabes is supposed to be a horribly evil, horribly conniving, horribly... well, everything. He's dangerous AND smart, not some "I will crush you" goon.

[Sentinel X]

^^I disagree...Sabertooths charecter is awesome and I love him but there really isn't that much depth to him. Hes just really really evil...which is why I wouldn't care if a wrestler gets the part.

[xwolverine2]

mane leave him........

his acting is better than any other wrestler...lol

Halloween!

[Deep Thinkin'!]

^^I disagree...Sabertooths charecter is awesome and I love him but there really isn't that much depth to him. Hes just really really evil...which is why I wouldn't care if a wrestler gets the part.

Exactly.

He's just one really bad mofo. His anger is the only thing that makes him a big villian. Not his brains, no. He's an animal. Which means he's as smart as an animal.

[Sun_Down]

I liked Mane, I hope he returns. All the complaints about him not talking much in X-Men are ridiculous. He played the part perfectly considering how small it was.

[Roughneck]

I think they should bring back Mane.

[iamlegend]

Exactly.

He's just one really bad mofo. His anger is the only thing that makes him a big villian. Not his brains, no. He's an animal. Which means he's as smart as an animal.

If you mean an animal that's escaped prisons capable of holding super powered villains because of his intelligence, or an animal that has regularly accessed classified government files on regular computers... then I guess you're right. :whatever:

Sabretooth, while appearing very brutish, is just as dangerous with his mind as he is with his claws. He might be crazy, but he's not stupid.

No wrestly could portray that correctly. They'd just give us the "I MUST KILL!!!!" bull****.

But he's not a mastermind, which is really what I meant. Yes, he does have enough knowledge, but let's face it. He can't compare to Magneto.

[iamlegend]

But he's not a mastermind, which is really what I meant. Yes, he does have enough knowledge, but let's face it. He can't compare to Magneto.

But that doesn't put him on the animal level... I mean, very few Marvel characters have Magneto's strategic mindset.

Seriously... imagine a scene where Sabretooth (played by say, Triple H) hatches a plan. Without a decent actor it'd be like watching a bad WWE episode gone horribly wrong.

[Sentinel X]

No not really
What do you expect Sabertooth to do?...if he has a plan its not going to be neuroscience. Even the smart villains like Magneto, Dr.Doom, Lex Luthor, etc have failed to show great intelligence in their master plans (in movies). The only one I can say who has come close is Magneto in X1 and X2.
I think villains like Magneto and Dr.Doom need good actors to play them but Sabertooth really can be 2D even in comic books, so Im not salivating over an official actor. If the wrestler looks like Sabertooth and is decent in acting, I can live with it :up:

You all seem to be missing my point.

WRESTLERS ARE NOT good, decent, or even mediocre actors.Oh come on...some of them are decent...like the Rock, I dont classify him as a good actor but hes not bad either...Im pretty sure there is another wrestler with decent/good acting talent.

Either way I don't mind...wrestler or actor...as long as he makes the charecter awesome :word: :up:
