It’s been 25 years since the release of one of the most iconic superhero films of all time.
To celebrate X-Men‘s milestone, I asked Tyler Mane if he would share his favorite memories and behind-the-scenes stories of the villainous Sabretooth.
1.
Filming Sabretooth’s first scene, where he attacks Wolverine in the snow, was absolutely freezing.
2.
Tyler’s background in wrestling allowed the part to come naturally to him.
3.
Sabretooth’s costume took hours to put on.
4.
Tyler had to go to the hospital after accidentally keeping the sclerals in his eyes for too long.
5.
The Statue of Liberty fight took place on a sound stage in Toronto.
6.
Sabretooth and Toad were originally supposed to appear in X2.
7.
In 2024, Tyler reunited with Hugh Jackman for Deadpool & Wolverine.
8.
X-Men’s story resonates with Tyler, and he had a great time working with the cast.
Thank you, Tyler, for sharing your incredible memories! Keep up with Tyler on Instagram, Facebook, and his official website. Make sure to check out The Last Spartan, available now. (I just started reading it, and I love the art style and character-building!)
