Schreiber in talks for Wolverine

Liev Schreiber is in final talks to play a younger version of Wolverine's nemesis William Stryker in the upcoming Wolverine movie, which 20th Century Fox has just announced it will release on May 1, 2009. Brian Cox played Stryker in X2. Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as the title character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which director Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) begins shooting later this year. The movie will explore Wolverine's violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth, as well as his dealings with other mutants. The only other film currently set to open on May 1, 2009 is Disney's animated G-Force. The three previous X-Men movies have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide. Fox is pursuing another X-Men spin-off, based on the character Magneto, played by Ian McKellan in the original movies.

I know that I am not the only one excited about this.
