FIRST LOOK: Gambit from Wolverine Movie

I gotta say i loved gambit from the comic book series, but here he looks a bit...wasted.
This movie does look fantastic but i hope they don't change the look of the rest of the characters, or change him back...

GIVE HIM A SHAVE!!!

This guy looks like he'd make a good Gambit. I never read the comics growing up, and now i only stick to The Batman Family, but i have always watched the X-Men cartoon. So yeah, and Ryan Reynolds is deadpool? Seriously?

Wearing a purple shirt and playing cards... *yawn*

It's uninspiring to say the least but what can really brake it is what he sounds like when he opens his mouth.

Expect Deadpool to be maskless and void of hideous scars. They wouldn't cover up Reynolds face, Hollywood producers have this thing in which they think we are retarded and if we watch, say Spider-Man in full costume for more than ten minutes, our feeble walnut sized brains will forget that it's Toby under the costume. So they either hash out cheap ways to unmask the character or don't even bother with the mask. For Deadpool, they won't bother. From what I've seen he's just a dude in a red vest.

Which is a shame. But an expected disappointment and I won't be watching a Wolverine movie for these guys, as cool as they are. I'll be keeping my eye out for Wolverine and Sabretooth throwing down the way it was meant. Not like that painfully awkward tussle atop the Statue of Liberty in X-Men. Also, the old Weapon X team to an extent, like Maverick.

GAMBIT GAMBIT

Although i agree with you that he does need a shave, for a nitty gritty new age Gambit, a nice rugged beard would probably do the trick to give a dumb audience what they want. Only the true fans will be able to see this kind of thing. Like, i have actually talked to people who liked Spiderman 3 and X-Men 3. Those people arent fans like we are. They didnt know that Venom refers to himself in second person or that Spike was split into two different people...and Cyclops dying? They "Through the S" on that account. I love that saying btw Comicbookmovie.

Actually IMO the spiderman flix are the only amazing superhero movies around along with the new Batmans. I dont get why ppl diss SM3 but are psyched for watchmen, its like theyre trying to look smart. Sure SM2 was higher quality, but we are not talking about film on the level of Kurusawa or Bergman, theyre friggin SUPERHERO movies!!! remember our chances at getting a spiderman 15yrs ago? We probably wouldnt even get villains from the book. You complain about venom saying "I" instead of "we", but say nothing about how both villains were inspired by their classic Ditko/Mcfarlane designs, let alone humor. Comic-fan my ass.

And since WHEN was Gambit clean-shaven?!?! unbelievable.

i liked x3 and spidey 3 although they wernt a patch on the movies that came before...i guess im not a real fan! shame, ill have to burn my 3,000 comics

I guess he doesn't look bad but it really will come down to how he performs gambits manerism's, and the voice will be crucial... this guy better sound straight from louisiana or i will be pissed. All i can say is that i have waited through 3 other movies waiting for gambit so they better not mess this up

why are they just now introducing gambit... in the second movie when they did that computer list and i saw "Remy LeBeau" i was stoked for him to be in the next one but no they decided to make a crap movie where everyone dies.

hey, isnt gambit supposed to have black eyes with red pupils? maybe its just the picture but i dont see it.

ITS GONNA BE PG 13 PROBABLLY, THIS GUYS CAN PULL IT OFF, DOES HE HAVE THE ACCENT? ITS COOL IF HE HASNT SHAVED A BIT, HE'S A ROUGE BASTARD, THE PURPLE SHIRT? COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE CLOTHING, EXCEPT FOR THE TRENCHCOAT, I JUST WANNA SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH THE CHARACTER,HEATH LEDGER CAME OUT OF NO WHERE PLAYING A CHARACTER NOBODY THOUGHT THE GAY COWBOY FROM
BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN COULD OR SHOULD PLAY AND PULLED IT OFF BETTER THAN ANYONE EXPECTED AND IS REGARDED THE BEST PLAYED JOKER TO DATE, LETS SEE WHAT THIS DUDE CAN DO.

Aren't his eyes supposed to be all fuqed up? Like red pupils and stuff?

Can't really judge from the picture. If he's playing cards, he's just trying to fit in with normal people. Can't tell what he'll look like when he's fighting.

And as for the guy who said that if you do not like Spider-man 3 then your not a fan. If you liked that movie, you do not truely like Spider-man or Venom. I own every comic book that Venom was in between 1990 and 1994. Including his one-shots and guest appearances. They destroyed him. He was supposed to be Spider-man's strongest villian, but he was a little weakling who died too quickly. Sandman was perfect and cool and the only good part about that movie. Fans would also agree that Harry's outfit was awful. But what really "Threw the S" out of every bad moment about that movie was Peter dancing down the street with his emo hair. They needed to take that out and have one villian and introduce Venom at the end. I didn't like that Gwen Stacy was in it because of what I know of her story from the comics, but I don't want to nit pick. But as richunkleskeletun said, "i digress": majorly.

Wolverine is the best X-men character and deserves his own movie and Gambit is probably the next coolest, but FOX will find a way to mess it up. I'm excited, but I'm not holding my breath. Fingers crossed.

The word so delicately edited for content rhymes with prick.

I believe one of the reasons he has the unshaven look is because the I my thing people know him as is tim riggins from fnl... A high school kid... I'm sure they did that to make him appear older to those familiar with him... And at the same time I'm thinking there was a time when gambit was all scruffy and beastly looking, or am I wrong?

Origins Wolverine PG-13, no questions asked.
X3 = Awesome movie, and for those who say that those people didn't die...Do you read X-Men or are you just pretending to be a comic book fan? Because, to my recollection, Xavier has died multiple times, so has Jean. Do you see Scott die? NO, you just see him start to get his life sucked out, but he isn't necesarily dead.

Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds WILL HAVE SCARS. CGI folks, read some news. PLUS, Deadpool is a bizarre, comical assasin who breaks the fourth wall on a constant basis for comedic reasons. So, has anybody seen Amityville Horror? Seems like he did a pretty good job playing a deranged killer....Oh, and how about ...Waiting? Damn funny movie...So psycho comedic killer? Wow he's done both, so Deadpool isn't even REMOTELY a stretch for him.

As for the Heath Ledger comment...Let's see, BESIDES ripping on him for Brokeback Mountain, has anyone seen "Monster's Ball", "The Order", or "A Knight's Tale" because to my recollection those were all really good roles in which he did an amazing job. So for people to say that he wasn't going to do a good job as the Joker...HOGWASH!

Woah that's a baaaaaaddd picture! He looked a lot better in the trailer. Gambit is supposed to have a 3 day old unshaved fuzz on his face, not a pre-pubescent mustache that looks like a weak collection of pubes stuck to his face. But these are just details, he could still do a good job. We'll see i guess.

And have i ever said that Deadpool isn't funny??? Did i ever mention that? No. I said Deadpool IS funny but he is also a kickass assassin! Meaning that he doesn't ONLY shoot his mouth off, he is also supposed to shoot other people's heads off. Hannibal king was supposed to kick a bit more ass than what Goyer had Reynolds do. It just made him unbareable with no purpose what so ever in the movie. I just hope they don't do the same thing with Deadpool! It's bad enough if he doesn't have a scared face (unless what my friend ION says is true which i hope)! Which just means that if you look at the character in the movie, he's just the same as wolverine or sabertooth but instead of having adamantium claws or an animal instinct, he's got a funny bone... that's just lame! If you're gonna put Deadpool on the screen then damn it, DO HIM JUSTICE!!! I think Reynolds DOES have the talent to pull it off as long as he follows instructions.

And this movie is mostly a mix of the series ORIGIN and Weapon X. Now weapon x wasn't in the same era as WW2 was it? I don't recall. I know that Logan and Victor knew each other from that time which is the 1940s but the project itself i believe was some time after no? Which means that a "young" gambit isn't much of a stretch. In the first animated series, he was well in his thirties... Either way, for continuity's sake, it's either that the weapon x project was held in the late 70s or that they're just not gonna re-use Gambit in any other movie unless they make him out to be an old man. That sucks. And if he only makes it in Wolverine well... tough shit. It's like Venom in SP3, of course he got his ass handed to him at the end! What did you expect? A freakin 5-movie story arch??? And he was still decent, i mean it's not like they pulled a Mr.Freeze on him or anything. This wasn't a "venom" movie. Get real, he was the bad guy in the third one, he get's kicked at the end and we move on to another villain for the 4th. That's how it goes, Joker only made it to a second movie cause it was a reboot. And Ledger's performance was AS good as Nicholson's, not better. It was different and well executed but did not take anything away from Jack! Watch BATMAN again and notice how great Jack's performance still is. They were both amazing and neither should be forgotten.

I have a firm belief that Ryan Reynolds will do Deadpool justice. The Hannibal King thing, ALL in the writing...Which was craptastic.

Well, the Weapon Plus program started in 1945 using genetic research taken from Mr Sinister, with Project: Rebirth (Captain America/Weapon I) beginning well before that and being absorbed by Weapon Plus by The Professor (Thornton). 15 Years go by and they've done weapons II and III (animals) then IV V and VI were minorities and beginning with VII was the first mutant subjects. In the early 60's started the 10th incarnation (Weapon X, which became it's own operation fronted by Department H and K and jointly with the CIA)(which including various notable and recognizable characters that were all given false memeory implants and a healing factor derived from none other than, Wolverine) including Weapon X (Wolverine) Sabretooth, Kestrel, Silver Fox, Maverick, Mastodon and Nuke, then an unnamed Weapon XI (which will be in the final fight scene of the movie) then Weapon XII (The Huntsmen (Weapon XIII (Fantomex) Weapon XIV (Stepford Cuckoos) and Weapon XV (Ultimaton).

Then of course there were 22 failed attempts at cloning the only genetic sample they had of the Weapon X program (also wolverine) because the Y chromosome was damaged, so they created a female version and it was viable, then was dubbed X-23.

i have read a digital comics on marvel website..where a young gambit (lets say 10-15 yrs old) was ask to steal something from the weapon-x lab...

gambit was asked by mr. sinister but sinister was in disguise (i forgot who he was diguising)...while young gambit is inside the lab..he was caught by the guards stealing from a room...then suddenly the guards recieved a call calling all security to proceed in wolvie's lab... where wolverine started to rampage and wreck the whole facility after infusing adamantium...gambit saw wolverine that time and escaped with the thing he stole..but as i remember he didnt gave it ot sinister...

so, still gambit has no connection on wolvie's past they might crossed path but no relevant issue...

I agree there's no connection. They just wanna throw in some more characters. I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to work Nick Fury into this movie, judging by ironman/hulk.
