I remember being bummed that my 2nd favorite X-Man (Remy LeBeau aka Gambit) is left out of the movies. (FYI, my 1st is Rogue.) Well, imagine how much I wanted to dance when I found out that he will be in the next movie (X-Men Origins: Wolverine). And imagine my inner explosion when I found out who will be playing him!!

Gambit - Taylor Kitsch

 

Pardon the crappy graphic, I just got that from the article here. He could *totally* play Gambit. I know most people are disappointed because they thought Josh Holloway (or whoever) from Lost will play Gambit, but I think Taylor Kitsch is a better choice, he even sounds like Gambit (at least the Gambit in my head). Not just cos I’m addicted to him right now. That Lost dude is too old to play Gambit especially since the movie will take place in Wolverine’s past.

Tell me he can’t play Gambit! C’mon! The hair, the scowl, the scruff. He even has the abs down pat! Why won’t 2009 come yeeeet?!
