'X-Men': Original Sabretooth on Hugh Jackman's Legacy and Why He Didn't Return to the Franchise, Hollywood Reporter, March 17, 2017 I’d love to get my claws back into that role. The storyline was them rising as brothers, and Liev and Hugh look a lot closer in that respect, so I understand. What exactly happened between X-Men and X-Men Origins: Wolverine that you did not reprise your role? When asked why he didn't reprise his role as Sabretooth for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Tyler Mane (who played Sabretooth in the first movie) replied to the Hollywood Reporter: The name Creed disappears in a later version of the script (February 1999). Creed cuts the meat with a forefinger claw. He puts a plate down in front of Sabretooth. SABRETOOTH: Actually, I been monogamous for a while now. LOGAN (sits, wary): How's the mercenary business these days, Creed? Assassinate any good foreign dignitaries lately? Logan reaches a table occupied by Sabretooth. One wall of the dining room is comprised of windows affording a spectacular view of the HORSESHOE FALLS at night. Just imagine, though: at some point, Wolverine was hired to bring back a rogue Sabretooth, and the two of them met and fight in a high-class restaurant. Then again, this June 1994 script differs greatly from the final result. It's worth underlining that in an earlier version of the script, Sabretooth was indeed referred to as Creed. Indeed, the later Origins movie started to take shape in 2004, way after X-Men 2 was written and released. While no other information is given, it's not that big of a stretch to think the writers only considered one Sabretooth in this universe, who would then be the Victor Creed in Stryker's files. The highlighted one reads "Creed, Victor".
When Mystique logs into Stryker's computer, you can see this mutants' list at 1'15: There might be a slight indication towards Sabretooth's civilian identity in X-Men 2, which obviously takes place in the same universe as the first movie. I'm leaving them in this answer as they are still of value. The following elements were less definite "hints" at Sabertooth being Victor Creed, written prior to my finding of above comic. Stryker is most likely to know his true identity for sure, as he experimented on him.
This is confirmed later in the issue when Stryker also refers to Sabretooth as "Creed". Sabretooth reveals he thinks his name is Victor Creed. While the two wrestle, Wolverine notices Sabretooth has got dog tags similar to his, so they go all buddy-buddy, and discuss their lost memories around a beer. In this comic tie-in to the movie, Wolverine travels to Alkali Lake and gets attacked by Sabretooth. He's not given a name in the credits either, though to be fair, only Logan/Wolverine is given both names in said credits.
