CSI Files
Captain
Actor <font color=yellow>Liev Schreiber</font> joins the X-Men universe.
Schreiber starred as Mike Keppler in four episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation during <font color=yellow>William Petersen</font>'s mid-season hiatus in the show's seventh season. He has now been cast for an upcoming sequel to the X-Men movie series. The movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, will begin filming later this year.
Schreiber has been cast as a younger William Stryker. The character appeared in the movie X2, played by <font color=yellow>Brian Cox</font>. Schreiber will be playing opposite <font color=yellow>Hugh Jackman</font>, who is reprising his role as the mysterious mutant Wolverine.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine will, as the title suggests, explore the past of Jackman's character. Reportedly set seventeen years before X-Men, the movie will also delve into Wolverine's complex relationship with Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, who was portrayed by <font color=yellow>Tyler Mane</font> in the first X-Men movie. Stryker's association with the Weapon X program in X2 is a possible hint about the role Schreiber's character will have in Wolverine, which will show Wolverine's connection to the program.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine will film in Australia, New Zealand and New Orleans. The movie will feature a multitude of mutants, some from the previous movies and others that are new to the big screen. The movie is slated to open in theaters on May 1, 2009.
