Taylor Kitsch as Gambit — FIRST PICTURE

GOING ALL-IN

Here is your first look at Friday Night Lights hunk Taylor Kitsch in his new role as card-throwing Remy LeBeau, aka Gambit, in the upcoming superhero flick, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the biggest reaction during the Wolverine teaser at the summer ComicCon convention wasn’t to Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) but the minor character Gambit.

“He raised the roof,” Hugh said. “I was a tad jealous!”

he does look like gambit only gambit is older in the comics, so that’s why he doesnt feel like THAT gambit, but he looks good, i just hope he can do the accent right! i love his cajun accent

wtf is with his eyes though? That’s the selling point of gambit’s persona! lol..

I won’t judge now though; the trailer looked flippin’ awesome however.

Believe It Or Not,Gambit And Edward Cullen Actually have a lot In Common than we might care to know!

For one thing,they can fight entire armies!

Second,they are MADE OF EPIC!

Third,They are potent Love interests for ladies who have the middle Name of Marie(i am Looking at you,Earth-616 Rogue,and At You,Bella Swan!)

There’s more,but i am not in the mood of listing them all!

Oh,and both of them COULD end up bringing up a Love-Triangle that could actually be helpful,If it’s done Right,anyway!

Do not get me started on Iceman,Because he and Jacob Black Have Some Common Grounds as Well!

They should fix his eyes.. otherwise I think he’s a good choice if he can pull off the accent.

when I was a kid, Gambit was my favorite character in the X-men series. But looking at the picture, why they got that motherfucka dressed up like willy Wonka. I hope this taylor guy does gambit some justice though.
