Spy photos from the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine are making their way to the Interwebs. JustJared.com has the first shots of Liev Schreiber as Wolverine's nemesis Victor Creed, a.k.a. Sabretooth.

If these photos are any indication, Lee Press-On Nails will be paying a hefty product placement fee.

In addition to to Schreiber, Hugh Jackman (Logan a.k.a. Wolverine) can also be seen on set in army fatigues. Presumably, this is part of the Weapon X story line from the comics. Sabretooth and Wolverine served together as supersoldiers.

The character of Sabretooth was played by Tyler Mane in the first X-Men movie.

Along for the ride in X-Men Origins: Wolverine reportedly are Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Kevin Durand (The Blob), Dominic Monaghan (Beak), Lynn Collins (Silver Fox), and Taylor Kitsch (Gambit). Yes, fan favorite Remy LeBeau, a.k.a. Gambit, will finally make his way into an X-Men movie. Gavin Hood (Tsotsi, Rendition) is directing.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be in theaters on May 1, 2009. I, for one, cannot wait.
