Excited Gambit Actor Speaks

Excited Gambit Actor Speaks

MTV talked to Taylor "Gambit" Kitsch, and found out about his enthusiasm for the character...

This from MTV.news...

When Logan asks Remy whether he’s Gambit, the character responds: “Do I owe you money?” When told he doesn’t, he adds: “Then Remy LeBeau I am!”

“Isn’t that just a huge piece of him? With that first line, without even making eye contact, having that hat low?” Kitsch beamed. “Even though he knows — and he f-ckin’ knows, man — that the stakes are through the roof. He’s still that cool and collected, and doesn’t even make eye contact [with Wolverine]. That was a fun thing to play.”

I don't know if Gambit has the clout to carry a full length motion picture by himself? If a Gambit movie were to happen I would want to see how Rogue and Gambit connect. But what else is there for Gambit to do? Don't get me wrong I was pissed when I found out Gambit was not going to be in the first X-Men movie, cause honestly that's were he belongs.

Taylor Kitsch did a hell of a job. From the accent to just the way he portrayed the character.

theres so much that could be done in his origin. You'd start off with his early life growing up in the Thieves Guild and his married to Bella Donna Boudreaux. Then you have him going to Mr.Sinister to help control his powers and finish it up with the Mutant Massacre leading him right into the X-Men.

still, if they do decide to re-launch the x-men franchise, Gambit as a character has now been introduced so it would give them an opportunity to bring him in. They wont be able to complain about people not getting him because if that were the case then he wouldn't have been in wolverine's movie. He will be back either on his own or figthing the cause with the x-men.

Ok he was cool enough in that scene..now ask him about the end of the movie when he drops his accent completely and doesnt bother to act either

Very true but there hasn't been much talk about an X-Men 4 just the X-men: First Class which will only include the first five Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast(before the hair), Angel and Iceman.

i don't think he belonged in the 1st x-men movie. the second one, yes, but not the 1st. could have set up a love triangle w/ ice and rogue.

I'm with the Irish cowboy on this. He only held the accent when he had time to think about it. Thought he was good though and if Gambit ever came to our screen again (whether main man or cameo) I'd like him to stay on.

YOU DONT WANT HIS ACCENT TOO STRONG ANYWAY..HE DID AN AWSOME JOB-THEY NEED TO REBOOT XMEN, KEEP THE ACTORS WE KNOW BUT HONESTLLY DO IT RIGHT..AND BRING APOCOLYPSE AND THE FOUR HORSEMEN..SINISTER..CABLE..THATS WHAT I WANNA SEE , NOT SOME XMEN FIRST CLASS-THE OC TV SHOW WITH POWERS-STUFF..

If Anyone Paid Attention in X-men 2 When Mystique Is Looking on the computer getting information abut where magneto is being Held There is A list of Mutants being held prisoner and on the computer screen if you pay close attention It says Remy Lebeau.
Just something to go back and look at.

Demonwolf - I LOVED that duck! As kids me and my sister would run into the video store and head straight for that film everytime! We only ever got a different film if that one was out!
Demonwolf
Demonwolf - 4/30/2009, 2:11 PM
Howlett04- I loved that movie too. My parents on the other hand...

lol great pic demonwolf

I haven't seen the movie so I wont' judge him until tomorrow night. I do want a Gambit solo movie though. The best voice for Gambit in my opinion was from the 90's cartoon...he did a great job and you all know it lol

I've seen the movie and WTF is wrong with GAMBIT???? I wont spoil it for you but lets just say he ain't got a french accent!!! He looks the part but no way in hell does he sound like GAMBIT!!!! Oh i wont even go there with DEADPOOL lol, ( I wont say nothing about it coz i don't wanna spoil it for you guys that ain't seen it yet, maybe in a few days lol), its alot worst than i thought!!! Lets just say if they don't go with the original DEADPOOL in the spin off FOX, don't bother!!! The ACTUAL WOLVERINE movie was quite entertaining, a few twists an turns but they could've done alot better, oh yeah and the whole movie seemed rushed!!! Why didn't they just call it WOLVERINE : WEAPON X ??? There wasn't alot about his Origin! ; ) p.s. i wont even go there at the end either, just watch it! I think the GAMBIT solo movie is doomed if the guy can't get the accent right! (He had the wrong accent). Maybe he'll hang out in FRANCE alot in the GAMBIT movie lol! : D

Demonwolf - 4/30/2009, 3:14 PM
Gambit is actually from New Orleans, not France so it should be a Cajun accent (mix between french and southern). But I do hear his accent is pretty bad.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/30/2009, 3:31 PM
Okay my bad!!! Lol, im just going by the cartoon years back heh! (Yes i do read X-MEN sometimes), but yeah the accent is well bad!!! I can't see how the guy can hold a movie on his own??? Still could be years sooo that's alot of acting classes! : D
Demonwolf
Demonwolf - 4/30/2009, 3:33 PM
LEEE777- We can always hope...maybe he should go live in New Orleans for a couple years (the French quarter)

As I said before, If any of you read or bothered to understand that a gambit movie is on its way in a couple of years for summer 2011 release.. research on it and you wont feel so stupid!..
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/30/2009, 3:47 PM
Lol yeah DEMONWOLF!!! Oui Oui! : D ... Um okay MINOTAURO lol!

dogchasingcars - 4/30/2009, 5:15 PM
ok guys let me get this straight grated he had an accent in the cartoons not everyone from down da bayou has that accent even in new orleans some people don't and i have personally have been known from time to time t sound like i have an cajun accent one min. and a normal accent the next it all depends on how you were either raised or e people you have been around .

cyclopstb - 4/30/2009, 11:55 PM
I agree. I want to see how Rogue and Gambit connect, too and see if they remebered each other in X4.

I heard an accent in the first couple lines, but after he threw his cards, I for the life of me couldn't hear any semblance of any kind of accent. And the dialogue, no "mon ami" (and yes i didn't even bother looking up how to spell it), no "cher" or "petite". Maybe it's just because I was raised on the cartoon, but I was very dissapointed with Gambit.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 5/1/2009, 4:01 AM
Thats what im saying, if he was going to do the accent then do it, if he wasnt then dont..but he did it for his first scene then lost it! Thats beyond retarded

Hey,,, when are we gonna be getting HOWARD THE DUCK 2 ??? Come on lol, how long have we been waiting!!! Heh heh, actually i got the movie on VHS! : D
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/1/2009, 10:37 AM
Okay lets forget the accent, the main problem with WOLVERINE was DEADPOOL!!! Lets just hope we don't get that DEADPOOL in the spin off and get the red spandex too!!! (With the mouth). I can't say much about DEADPOOL coz ppl ain't seen it yet but all i can say is DEADPOOL's lamer than you think he is! ; )

LEEE777, if they did another Howard the Duck movie, it should be a rated R, full length, animated film based off of the Marvel MAX story arc. Or maybe they should title it Leonard the Duck, to make sure Gerber gets paid...
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 5/2/2009, 8:40 AM
theprogram i think you must be hearing things. He clearly has the accent at the poker table.."Do ah owe you money?..den Remy Lebeau ah am"...every scene after he uses his own American accent, just like he sounds in Friday Night Lights
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/2/2009, 2:31 PM
Lol yeah @ COATS @ Infact your right if they did a animated or CGI HOWARD THE DUCK like the MAX series it would be Frakking excellent! ; ) p.s. Who thinks if MARVEL did their animated movies CGI??? I reckon they would look sooooooo much better! ; ) @ PROGRAM @ I was gonna ask you this a while ago but forgot,,,,, What is that in the PIC??? lol.
