SabretoothFROM SPLASH PAGE: With so much attention being paid to the debuts of Deadpool and Gambit in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," it's easy to overlook the impressive performance of Liev Schreiber as one of the franchise's returning characters, Sabretooth. Along with bringing one of Logan's most popular nemesis to life, Schreiber added significant depth to a character whose appearances had previously been limited to grunts and the occasional growl.

While the ending of "Wolverine" certainly leaves the door open for Schreiber to return to the character, Logan's impending journey to Japan might complicate a cameo from Sabretooth. When we had a chance to chat with the actor during a press event for his upcoming film "Taking Woodstock," we had to ask him whether we'd see his take on Victor Creed in the next X-Men movie.

Hugh Jackman may be a huge Hollywood star, but don't let that fool you into believing he's not a bonafide comic book fanboy. Thus, it was with great pleasure that he re-entered the role of Wolverine for "X-Men Origins," out this Friday. The standalone film allowed Jackman to delve into the early "X-Men" comics to extract what makes Wolverine, Wolverine.

With that in mind, in the video below, Jackman talks about the specific comic books that influenced the movie and how they were depicted on film. When you're through with that, click here to watch the rest of our "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" interviews.

Channing TatumFROM SPLASH PAGE: Though he's all over the map this summer with April's "Fighting," July's "Public Enemies" and August's "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," actor Channing Tatum's biggest regret is missing the chance to play Cajun card player Gambit in May's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".

Tatum, a self-professed comic book fan, holds the trench-coated mutant near and dear to his heart. According to Tatum, Gambit has always been his number-one superhero and one to which he feels a personal connection.

"Man, I was dying to play [Gambit]," Tatum told MTV News. "My dad's from Louisiana and I think I've always just gravitated towards Gambit in general. He's just cooler than anything to me."

'Wolverine'FROM SPLASH PAGE: It's no secret that "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman can carry a tune, but when 2008's "sexiest man alive" puts his pipes to the test against up-and-coming "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, is he the best there is at what he does?

According to E Online, Jackman and Pattinson recently ended up in the same Tokyo bar after finishing up with promotional events for "Australia" and "Twilight," respectively. As any comics fan knows, this type of crossover event should result in Logan and Edward pitting claws against fangs in a wild brawl... until they both realize they're the good guys and learn a valuable lesson about communication. However, instead of a fight breaking out, the two superpower-savvy stars teamed-up for a song.

Ryan ReynoldsFROM SPLASH PAGE: When I spoke to former 20th Century Fox exec (and regular comics writer) Jeff Katz last month about his experience on the set of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," he had a lot to say about Hugh Jackman's "bad-ass" performance as Wolverine. But Jackman wasn't the only "Wolverine" star Katz raved about during our conversation.

The comics-savvy Katz gushed about Ryan Reynolds' portrayal of the "Merc with a Mouth," Deadpool, as well as Taylor Kitsch's performance as the card-tossing Cajun mutant, Gambit -- and offered up a unique insider's perspective on what it took to bring both of these fan-favorite characters to the big screen.
