X-Men Origins: Gambit - According to ecksmanfan

I know that most of us would love to see the "Ragin Cajun" hit the silver screen in his own movie, and this is who I'd like to see playing the parts.

Obviously, we need to take this down south to Louisiana, and include the Thieves and the Assassins Guilds. I only cast the major players here.

I think we need someone a bit older to play Gambit and my choice really is no surprise.
Josh Holloway as Gambit/Remy LeBeau



To play the love interest, Bella Donna, I selected Amy Smart.


To play the adoptive "brother" of Gambit, Jean-Luc LeBeau, here is Gerard Butler. Sorry, I could not find a character picture.


For the brother of Bella Donna, Julien, I give you Henry Cavill. Again, no character picture was available.


Heading into the Mutant Massacre, I chose some of the major players of the storyline. I'm sure a few others could be added. For the Marauders, let's start with the bad-ass himself, Mister Sinister. I know that most of you really want Keith David to play the part, but for some reason, I just don't see that. I narrowed it down to two, Gary Oldman or Michael Wincott. Wincott has got a creepy voice and could pull this one off I think. And let's face it, Gary Oldman is a God among men.


Nathan Jones as Blockbuster


Prism would be CGI with a voice over, not sure who though.


Justin Long as Riptide


Josh Brolin as Scalp Hunter


Rosario Dawson as Arclight


Eli Roth as Harpoon


Rose McGowan as Malice


Sienna Miller as Vertigo


As for the Morlocks, you can kind of add and take away whomever you like, I only selected two. With Callisto, I run into a continuity issue, due to her role in X-Men 3, but she plays an important part in the storyline so she needs to be here. I selected Kiera Knightly to play Callisto


And as Tommy, who inadvertently leads the Marauders to the Morlocks, I chose Reese Witherspoon


As for the X-Men, I think we can keep the crew from the first films. I included Cyclops, because dammit, he's still alive!




I think we need to replace a couple people here. First, I like Halle Berry, but just not as Storm. I lpve the idea of Gabrielle Union coming to kick some ass.


Also, to play the newer love interest for Gambit, Anna "Snaggle Tooth" Paquin needs to go. When I first heard this suggestion, I wasn't to fond of it, but it has grown on me and I love it! So whoever suggested this...you are a genious!
Michell Trachtenberg as Rogue

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

very good choices my friend, im especially impressed with your choice for Sinster, never thought of Gary Oldman, and you're right he IS a god amongst men

Yeah, I just didn't like Kitsch as Gambit. To be honest, Holloway is not my favorite either. With a character like Gambit, it's hard to find the perfect person that will appease everyone; we all have certain expectations we've set.

And you are right LEEE, he does make a better Green Arrow!

Interesting choices. The best one by far is Gary Oldman as Mr. Sinister.
The rest I could take or leave, especially the Rogue choice...not feeling Michelle as Rogue. She's a better fit for Shadowcat/Kitty...as someone else suggested in their fancast.

Rogue should be tough as hell, I could see Eliza Dushku in the role.

Ecksmanfan, I can get you some pictures of Henri Lebeau and Julienn Boudreaux. I know all there is to know about Gambit and his origins so drop me a line if you want some input. Your cast for Julien is good, but Butler is to old to play Henri. You also left out his sister, Mercy, and his cousin's, Etienne Marceaux and Emil Lapin. Additionally, there is one event in Gambit's pre-X-days that would be a MUST feature in a movie about his origins and it involves Sabertooth, Henri, and a woman named Genevive Darcineaux.

Yea, btw, Jean Luc is Remy's adoptive father, Henri is his brother.

Scalphunter aka John Greycrow cast = EPIC shit right there!!!
