Wolverine and Sabertooth, back together again!
Sixteen years after costarring in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber are collaborating again, this time on two plays that’ll be performed Off-Broadway in repertory.
The shows are being produced by premium audio storytelling brandi Audible, as well as TOGETHER — the new theatrical partnership led by Sonia Friedman and Jackman dedicated to creating live theater that is intimate and accessible. Performances kick off later this month at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City.
“Amazing to be back together in a rehearsal studio,” Jackman wrote on Instagram on Friday, April 11, sharing a photo of he and Schreiber, 57, as they stood next to one another, and another of them in the 2009 action flick. “While we’re working on two distinctly different plays – most performances are back to back.”
“When Sonia and I set out to create Together Productions, we made a list of actors who we’d love to join us. Liev answered the call,” Jackman added. “Can’t wait to get back on the stage. (My first time in an off Broadway production). And then to dream of what and who comes for the next round of plays. Excited and curious.”

Jackman, 56, will star in the New York premiere of Hannah Moscovitch’s Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, alongside Ella Beatty (daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty).
Per a release, the Australian actor plays Jon — an acclaimed novelist, charismatic university professor and middle-aged man who meets Beatty’s Annie, a 19-year-old star student and huge fan of Jon’s work. Soon, their “undeniable attraction draws them into dangerous territory” and “down the most slippery of slopes” that will have audiences questioning their perspective throughout.
Schreiber, meanwhile, will lead Jen Silverman’s new adaptation of August Strindberg’s Creditors, with Maggie Siff and Justice Smith.
That play, a psychological thriller, follows struggling painter Adi (Smith) who finds his creative spark reignited by Gustav (Schreiber), a magnetic stranger at an isolated seaside hotel. “Their connection is instant and intimate,” a release says, “but what seems like a chance encounter quickly twists into something far darker, as Gustav becomes intrigued by Adi’s wife, the dazzling Tekla (Siff). Talk into the night devolves into an intricate web of deception, seduction and revelation, where the lives of all involved may be destroyed or transformed.

Jackman and Schreiber first worked together in the 2001 romantic comedy Kate & Leopold, opposite Meg Ryan. They’ve remained friends since and have been photographed multiple times together over the years.
Both are veterans of the stage. Jackman made his Broadway debut in 2003’s The Boy From Oz, a role that earned him a Tony Award. He’s returned to the stage four times since, most recently as Harold Hill in 2002’s The Music Man.
On Broadway, Schreiber has had seven credits, nabbing his Tony in 2005’s revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. He was last on the boards in 2024’s revival of Doubt.
