Taylor Kitsch On Reprising GAMBIT & Channing Tatum's Interest In The Role

Hopefully he won't.

I personally would like to see him come back. Just for some kind of continuity. Also he does a good job in the Lone Survivor for the parts he is in there.

Love train, love train.

I'm not opposed to Tatum playing Gambit, but I don't want Kitsch back. He's never done anything to impress me.

The Cajun accent lasted for like 7 seconds and then was gone. What a let down.

Kitsch was okay. I'd be ecstatic to see him. However, [frick] Tatum. Tie his leg to the comedy movie realm and never let him loose. He does not belong anywhere else.

Kitsch was alright as Gambit.

Fix the accent, get a damn haircut, and bring him back.

Tatum is horrible.

No to both actors. An okay choice for Gambit leading a solo movie isn't good enough. The character deserves better than just an okay solo movie.

Matt Bomer is the perfect choice for Gambit. He has the looks, charm, and practically plays Remy on White Collar.

My man Channing would KILL it as Gambit!!!! DO IT FOX!!!!!!

Agree with Supercat on this one

ROFL @ Gusto

Between Kitsch and Tatum, I could go either way, but I'd give Kitsch the option. It wasn't his fault that Origins: Wolverine didn't work out (or John Carter).

Honestly, though, neither of them really fit my comics/animation-based image of Gambit. The Cajun accent angle is not the only thing that matters. Someone more catlike and lithe seems warranted, with more of a real vibe.

At least Tatum is white, so no one's head will explode.

definitively Kitsch! he was a cool gambit..tatum is good for plain wooden Gi Joe type characters..i find him too boring for gambit

People need to stop saying Channing is Cajun. He's so not, far from it. I could dig Taylor in the role again, but seeing another actor devoted to Gambit wouldn't hurt either.

The only problem with John Carter was promotion. That stupid C who chose to take out Mars from the title and try to attract more audience did everything wrong and less people watched it. It is bye not a flop, just as PacRim It didn't get a lot extra to make sequel and it is Damn Shame. It was good Sci-fi adventure and one of the last decent Disney films (Marvel not included).

John Carter was good!
He should keep play Gambit, but he was introduced at the wrong time but as a first class sequel he could work fine or someone younger not Tatum(even if I don't mind) or Taylor or younger guy. Chronos actually cries right now over Faqed continuity of X films!

You know, I actually LIKED Kitsch's portrayal of Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In fact, I loved a LOT of the actors they got for that movie. Liev Schrieber was an utterly FANTASTIC Sabertooth, and Ryan Reynolds is pretty much the only guy who could ever play Deadpool (yet another reason why I hope they get that stalled Deadpool movie off the ground a.s.a.p.)!

The problem with Origins wasn't the casting (in most cases... Will.i.am was pretty weak), it was the script and the director. The producers somehow turned the Weapon X story into an X-Men prequel by cramming every single major character we HADN'T seen in the first three movies into that one (even though most of them were basically glorified cameos), and the director had approximately ZERO skill with actors or special effects. Origins was basically the Batman & Robin of the X-Men films.

But the cool thing about Fox's decision NOT to just retcon the whole mess into oblivion and start the X-Men franchise from ground zero is that it affords the things that could have worked a chance to do so again. And while Days of Future Past is only set in the early seventies (after leaping forward from First Class's 1962 setting), X-Men: Apocalypse is supposedly going to make a similar jump forward in time... which, if it ends up any time after 1979 (the year of the Three Mile Island incident that Origins made into its climax), means that Gambit can show up in the next X-Men movie without screwing up the timelines.

And really, I want to see Gambit return to the X-Men movie universe. He had virtually nothing to do in his first appearance, but Gambit still managed to make SOME impression, and Kitsch gave him just enough of a hint of personality that I think they could develop him into a solid character in another film.

So yeah-- bring back Gambit! If X-Men Apocalypse features the First Class roster plus Gambit and NO Wolverine, then hell, it could really turn into something special!

We need Gambit to join the adult team! you know, Gambit belongs to the adult X-Men, Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Rogue! damm, fans have been waiting a whole decade for it! its too much time! no more excuses, Gambit and Rogue has to meet finally!
