So while it was widely thought that Liev Screiber was going to be playing a young Stryker in
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, he is actually in fact going to be facing off directly with Wolverine as Sabretooth reports CHUD.
This is the real deal, received from multiple sources, none of whom have ever led me astray. On the one hand I do have to say that Liev is not terribly Cox-ian (Brian Cox originated the role), so I was always skeptical on him as Stryker, but on the other hand Creed has never been one of the more electrifying characters in comics. Beyond his ability to have fights with Wolverine wherein they would disembowel each other on the regular, that is (due to Creed also having a healing factor). But when you have a real director on the movie like Gavin Hood, and he casts a real actor like Liev Schreiber in the role... well, how can you not be at least intrigued?

The article goes on to mention some other hopefuls to fill in various other roles for the movie including Michael C. Hall as Stryker and Michelle Monaghan as Silver Fox. Liev Schreiber and Michael C. Hall are two of my favorite actors and I believe it is always a good thing when great actors get to hit the mainstream like this.
