Official Gambit Casting/Speculation Thread [merged-6]

[BRUTAL]

Let's get a GOOD Gambit casting thread going here...

Let's hear some of your fav picks for the Ragin' Cajun and please let us know WHY you feel your pick could pull off the role as well as what he has to offer as a different character than Logan (from what I hear this IS and issue with the studio).

And a picture of your pick couldn't hurt either...

:unishr:

[Lisea]

You are aware that I was joking, right? :p :D

[BRUTAL]

Um.. apparently not. but hey I think this one is a little more eloquent then the others don't you? :D

:unishr:

[TNC9852002]

Yeah,..it's just that there has been a new Gambit casting thread like twice a week now, and everyone is getting a little tired of em..

Well, BRUTAL, I'm curious to who YOU had in mind.. ;)

-TNC

[BRUTAL]

I think Stephen Dorff is a sublime choice

He's got a great look for it, has the chops, and I believe he could really add a neww flavor to the story and not seem to much like Logan

Thats why I asked for this to be deleted, I dont really know how many times to apologize for starting this thread...

I haven't been around these parts that often because I got a little tired of all the Halle bashing...

-TNC

[BRUTAL]

Bashing?? I'd call it comparison. But there are a few places that do go overboard.

Eh.... I'm burnt out on Halle, thats why I post in the other threads

[TNC9852002]

HA...yeah right,..Oh, you haven't been here long enough to now about all the other crap,..but anyway, back to the topic:

The top picks for Gambit have been Dorff, Olvier Martinez, and Ian Somerhalder...They're all different, and they could pick either one of them..It all depends on where they wanna go with the character..age and look-wise, because each of them illustrate different physical and emotional aspects of the same character...

-TNC

[BRUTAL]

What kind of Gambit (if any) do you think we'll see in the film?

[TNC9852002]

I have NO idea..I mean, they don't even have a script yet..

They could have him as a student, a thief working for the government, they can have him as a grown man, a guy working for Magneto, he could even be just a small 4 minute cameo, who knows?,...He's a somewhat flexible character..whereas Beast would totally have to be someone who goes [back] to the mansion in aid (perhaps due to his transformation) and become the new doctor in place of Jean, if not, something very close to the lines of that..

-TNC

[kang604]

Oliver Martinez is the best choice but i doubt they'll get him nor will they make him that old

[Christonomy1]

If my dream scenario happens and Joss Whedon takes over, he could pull in James Marsters (aka Spike from Buffy/Angel), who I think would be an excellent choice. His hair is naturally dark, not blonde, and his British accent is fake (though dead on).

[cronosred]

I agree that Stephen Dorff would make a perfect Gambit. Also Gambit could add alot of drama between Wolverine, Rogue, and Iceman.

[Ions]

They won't cast another mature character. He'll be cast as a young teen-friendly early-mid 20 somethings. Close to the ages of Rogue and Iceman. This film is aimed at teenagers, they have enough old characters as it is. So Ian Somerhalder has a chance, the rest are getting on in there age. IMO anyway. :)

[Brian2887]

Norman Reedus.

i like the way you said this, and even though i think somerhalder would suck, i agree.
just because my perception of gambit is one way, a different person would see him differently.
it's a tricky thing, trying to please everyone.

[DACrowe]

I don't know who.

I think Magneto should get to Jean Grey first and brainwash her (just the Brotherhood let's leave the Hellfire Club they are too complicated) and Gambit is a thief who somehow gets involved and goes rogue again and holds the answers to where Jean is for the X-Men. He should be in his mid-20's older than Rogue, but not a lot so he can hit on her without going ewwww. He and Wolverine should despise eachother and Cyke should not like him either they don't trust him and while Wolverine is a loner, they don't trust Gambit who proves himself at the end but there should be some development to why he is a thief and his hatred of humans that Rogue softens, but he should remain a rebel and a mystery one that should not trusted.

Maybe he is in the Brotherhood but only to steal something and leaves but knows about Jean and though Magneto can block Xavier he knows Gambit knows and the X-Men go to fetch him.

In the meanwhile Magneto turns Pheonix (what Jean is calling herself in hallucinations) into Dark Pheonix. They fight for her she defeats her own commrads and can't kill Scott. She goes insane and looses all sanity and even sinks an aircraft carrier and the US Army considers her a terrorist and must be destroyed. They pose as the "Shi'Ar" empire. Xavier goes to war with her psychically (after she goes to her hometown and acts like a little girl and the movie gets real psychological) and wins and brings her back to normal with extreme power. But the military is still chasing her and threaten to disban the School of the Gifted and raid it again if the X-Men do not turn her over.

So she kisses Scott and fakes her own death in a flashy "battle." But it turns out Scott holds her life and she uses her powers to appear dead and comes back at the end. And she and Scott get engaged and Logan has had enough of this bull**** (Iceman is getting fed up with Gambit too because he is unoffically courting Rogue, showing how Gambit just pisses every male member of the X-Men but Professor X off) when the news hits the TV....

It was Magneto's plan to have that ship sink (maybe two different incidents?) and has captured on it 20 nuclear missiles and chemical weapons and has taken over the 3rd world dictatorship of Genosha that enslaves and murders mutants (and this could be a running theme on the news in this movie but no one stands up against this nation because afterall "it is only mutants") and has conquered all of their advanced weaponry which he controls with his mind. He will create a free state for all mutants to live but if one nation should even plot against the now "mutant only" (all humans executed) Genosha, he will reign Armageddon down upon the world, and start the end of the world in nuclear war, if not co-existance, no existance.

His philosophy creates civil unrest and sets up X4, the big finale where the X-Men have to stop Magneto....but perhaps just toy with the idea at the same time the US government sends in the new plastic "Sentinal" programs and machines to take out Genosha? The possibilities are quite interesting there.

[Brian2887]

Indeed. Great idea and a hell of a set-up for X4.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

this is the stupidest thing ive ever said but i just watched fight club so ima say brad pitt. fit, tough, dark hair...... blah blah blah good actor..... im also on the Norman Reedus idea he kicked so much ass in boondock saints as murph but he also needs lighter hair. what about the guy who played conor in that movie he had lighter hair he could do it too....

[kent25]

how about Matthew Bomer? Also other actors that are up for the role as Superman in the new movie ...

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-115241

He was Luc on Tru Calling

[Acro]

I would cast someone who was in their midteens. It would be interessting to see Gambit portrayed as a hotshot young mutant who likes to show his powers off a little recklessly and who´s proud of being a mutant and wouldn´t think twice about using his powers in public among humans just for kicks.
He could be a runaway from his parents and the leader of a small gang of skaterkids who live on the streets and make their money by picking pockets and doing occasional burglary.

This way he would be alot different than Wolverine; he´d be young, reckless and, well, kinda "unsmart" when it comes to keeping a low profile whereas Wolverine is quite the opposite in the movies.

I don´t know who´d do this part real good but actors are a dime a dozen so I´m sure they could get someone looking for his break and not have to spend a ****load of cash on him as they would´ve had to if they used someone like Stephen Dorff as many suggests here on the boards.

What´dya think?

[BRUTAL]

SOOOOOO many ideas, so little time ok first... DACrowe, you are brilliant, FANTASTIC story love the depth. Best treatment for a film I've read in a long time! So many good ideas in such a small space BRA-F'ING-VO.

Next, Brad Pitt would make a great ANYTHING, but I doubt Fox would shell out the dough and I doubt he'd give the script a second look. But Pitt as LeBeau? F'ing awesome!

Next, Bomer is a dead ringer for Supes and was my top pick for a long time... until I saw him act. The guy who plays Gambit is going to need some talent to please the masses... nuff said.

Last, Acro... GREAT ideas. If I didnt know any better I would say thats a page from the Fox playbook. I have no doubt that if Remy makes the cut we will see something VERY close to that. VERY well done, great post. (Though I would still LOVE to see Dorff's LeBeau...)

[gridlock'd]

HARRY CONNNICK JR. Authentic cajun and suave lookin ladies man.

[BRUTAL]

Except for the fact that he's like 45 years old?

[Ideas]

I like the idea of James mAsters being added to the cast, not sure if he would be a great gambit, but if he was added in some fashion, it would be great. He probably would have been a good pyro.

[WEAPON-HEX]

yeah, he would have been a good Pyro.
For Gambit...Keanu would have been quite good, if he could act a bit.
Ryan Phillippe might be good...dunno who else, Olivier Martinez is the best suggestion so far.

[Master Kenobi]

Fox might cast an unknown actor.

I mean look at Hugh Jackman.

He was an unknown til X-men and now when we see him we automatically think 'hey he's Wolverine'.

Maybe they could pull it off again.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

there should be an irish actor playin gambit the accent would be easy to transfer. and i swear if gambit speaks that new weird ass ****ing louisiana redneck talk i will kill someone. seriously if he speaks red kneck hill billy jiberish i will kill them

[Big Dirty Ogre]

shut the **** up, you moron.
the cajun culture in an intricate, beautiful thing, with an amazing history.
i doubt you've ever heard a real cajun speak in your entire life.
i'm a creole/cajun, born and bred in the heart of acadiana, and i'm certainly not a "red kneck hill billy".

now that i live in another state, women swoon over my accent, in spite of my being only average(at best) in the looks department.

don't insult my culture and heritage, you racist fool.

an irish gambit? pffft.

[BRUTAL]

Ladies, I started a Gambit CASTING thread here, not a PISSING CONTEST thread.

[Big Dirty Ogre]

there's no pissing contest going on here, girlie.
he made a deragatory comment about my heritage, which is as offensive to me as when someone would refer to a black person as a n!gger.

[BRUTAL]

Dually noted, I'm just trying to get things back on track here.

No offence intended, personally I think the Cajun Heritage is pretty colorful and pretty interesting. Ignorance has no place in this thread and if I had known about that post and been able to do something about it I would have but... hindsight. So, who's your pick for Gamit?

[BRUTAL]

WHOOPS

[Big Dirty Ogre]

my top pick is olivier martinez, if he can alter his natural accent to make it sound like cajun french instead of regular french.

i'm just pretty much hoping they wont cast a 22 year old pretty boy in the role, who is apparently not cajun in the least.

his heritage is the most intruiging aspect of his character.

pretty boys are a dime a dozen, but gambit is a unique, original character with a sizeable following.

many people who are attempting to offer suggestions have obviously only seen him on the animated series.

there's a lot more to him than glowing eyes and playing cards.

[BRUTAL]

Martinez is a good pick. I agree with the whole pretty boy thing. I hope they don't crap out on Gambit's casting.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

who said i insulted your culture alls i said was that hed better not be speakin that redneck hill billy **** where theyre speakin like yabi dee bah doo hitty little missy inbidough and for your information i loive in mississippi and i go go louisiana once every six months so dont think ive never heard a "real cajun" speak

for the casual observer's consideration, the person who typed this jumbled mess of a paragraph is attempting to criticize the grammatical habits of the cajun people.

and "ninja gambit", i can't think of another state more synonomous with hillbilly jibberish than mississippi.

that's not by my estimation, either, but by the general public's estimation.

don't delude yourself into thinking that just because you've been to louisiana means you've heard a true cajun speak.

the culture is waning, and is only predominant in a few scant areas along the southern coast.

http://www.lded.state.la.us/images/la_parishes_AC.gif

i hail from vermilion parish, specifically the city of abbeville.

that area is about as cajun as it gets.

educate yourself before you insult a true american culture.

[BRUTAL]

Seriously, Ninja Gambit, this guy is obviously offended, can't you just be the bigger person and apologize?

Kind of would like to keep my thread about just the ONE subject.

[Big Dirty Ogre]

i don't need an apology, man.
it takes more than some little doofus who's pining for an irish gambit to truly bother me.
some jackass sees the waterboy, and thinks he knows something about louisiana.
i'll just be damned if i'm gonna let a stupid comment like that go unanswered.

[BRUTAL]

Fair enough, so the issue is over?

I wouldn't mind getting back to the thread...

[Big Dirty Ogre]

i'm done with it, and sorry if i detracted from your thread.
i just don't like people blindly insulting any culture, but especially my own.

[hyperion04]

Howbout Giovanni Ribisi. This guy could be cast for several different characters including Havok.

[BRUTAL]

GIOVANNI!! I never even thought of him!

He would be a cool Gambit! SOOOO talented!

If they have Havok though he's got to look a little like his brother, but there's no doubt in my mind that Giovanni could pull it off either way!

Great post!

I still can't believe I didn't think of it...

[Big Dirty Ogre]

i don't know, man.
i think he's very talented, but he doesn't strike me as Gambit in the least.
http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2126/Events/2126/GiovanniRi_Vespa_1452933_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Ribisi,%20Giovanni

[hyperion04]

Giovanni Ribisi if he can crack the cajun dialect

[Big Dirty Ogre]

i'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but he'd need to get in really good shape.
not to mention that he's only 5'7".
he is a good method actor, though, and i'd rather see the role go to him than some talentless twit with a six pack and capped teeth.

[BRUTAL]

Check this one out though... (http://imdb.com/gallery/ss/0187078/14?path=pgallery&path_key=Ribisi,%20Giovanni)

C'mon, look at him! Plus, the legit Cajun accent! So what if he's 40? The X-Men are supposed to be all types. Not just a bunch of kids.

They probably will cast some 20 year old with no attempt at an accent anyway. Like they did with Collossous.

[BRUTAL]

Still so far I like Dorff, Ribisi, that other guy iI posted pictures of.

In fact he is the only guy who is actually CREDITED as Gambit in the films.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

bet you feal smart now you can use big words! congradulations! any way james bamford is a stunt coordinater from xmen and other movies. and giovanni to me would make a good pyro he really looks alot like him. theyre should be another big name in the movie like how they have halle berry and fameke jenessen or how ever you spell it..... and hugh jack man (even though he wasnt very famous before x men) lets get like brad pitt if they have enough money hed be perfect

[Big Dirty Ogre]

Originally posted by NINJA GAMBIT

:rolleyes: sadly, you have yet to master the small ones.





anyway, james bamford has an interesting look, but i don't think he was ever really intended to play gambit.
i don't think they were going to show his face clearly in the little scenes they shot.


dorff might be okay, if he can get the accent down. he's got a decent look, and he's in good shape.

ribisi doesn't look at all like gambit to me, but he's a good enough actor for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.
gambit always seemed to me like the kind of guy women swoon over, and giovanni ribisi isn't really that great looking.
sure, he has his fans, but he's more of a quirky, charming type than a heartbreaker like gambit.


olivier martinez seems most capable of capturing gambit's personality to me.
he looks just like gambit, to boot.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

look dude im deeply sorry if i offended you in anyway. personally i actually like the cajun culture (especially the crawfish) when i said that i just ment i didnt want them to turn my favorite mutant into siome hill billy redneck thats cajun. any way again i apolagize if i offended you and you might wanna check on your own racisim pffting the irish. irish actors could make a great gambit.

[TNC9852002]

Oliver Martinez seems to be too old for the role, but we don't know what they'll do to the character..

-TNC

[BRUTAL]

http://www.cinetropic.com/olivier/hussard3.jpg
I have no doubt in my mind that Martinez could pull it off, but I haven't seen him in much and I don't think Fox will be able to get over his overall "look" which I am sad to say is probably a little more "ethnic-in-one-way" then they will be going for. I don't really know how to put that and I meant no offense. It's just that, despite his talents, I cant really see him in that role.

http://www.imnotbitter.net/fictionoasis/oli_guest.jpg
This picture is the only one I've been able to locate that would make me thing he'd be a believeable Gambit. I'm just a little on the fence about him in particular.

And about Ribisi not being "sexy". I whole-heartedly agree. He's not all that good looking in the traditional sense. So in that respect I can see where you're coming from but... him going all-out for that role would be something to see.

So far LOVE Dorff!!! If he can nail the accent he's got my vote through and through.

Check out this pic I found...

first off, i accept your apology, but you should start thinking before you talk.
gambit's accent has only come off as goofy in the animated series, and sometimes when written badly in the comics.

secondly, don't even try that racist **** with me, because the idea of an irish gambit is simply stupid.
you didn't hear me saying something like "I'm gonna kill somebody if they make Gambit sound like that dude on the lucky charms box, and have him swiggin' on a bottle of whiskey all day!!!"
Gambit is a cajun. He's not Irish.
if he's your favorite mutant, why do you want them to change him into an irish guy?
lemme guess, you want colin farrell to play him? blech.......

[BRUTAL]

I give up...

[Big Dirty Ogre]

aw, quit overreacting, dude.
no one can make a perfect thread.:D

anyway, i don't see dorff being cast, either.
i really don't think they'll cast a person we know, and i really don't think they'll nail the character, either.

beast is our best bet.

[NINJA GAMBIT]

you know what **** you dude you say im racist! look at the **** your shootin out! and you might wanna look back at what i said i said an irish actor should play him cause the accent would be easy to carry over you racist peice of ****!

[Metamorpho1977]

Olivier Martinez is my pick too, he's been in SWAT and Unfaithful, and you really need someone with "pretty-boy" looks for the part. I think he fits the bill to a T

[BRUTAL]

I dont know about "to a T" but so far he's a close second for me.

[Metamorpho1977]

Well, Gambit needs a person who's an equal mix of "Pretty Boy" and rugged outdoors guy, and from what I've seen of Olivier Martinez, he can do both of those. Hey, why not bringing in Diane Lane as Polaris.

[terry78]

Gotta go with that James Bamford dude. He looks like the only one that could pull off saying "petit" with a straight face.

http://www.universohq.com/cinema/images/james_bamford.jpg

[WEAPON-HEX]

Nah, Martinez is surely the only person who could play Gambit, he looks like Gambit, he can act, he probably won't have trouble with the accent after a bit of couching. No ones come up with a better suggestion yet imo

[NINJA GAMBIT]

two words brad pitt

[DarkKnight101]

To me, Stephen Dorff matches Gambit's persona perfectly. They are both smooth, cocky, and charming at the same time.

Stephen's only problem is that he is 5'9". And Gambit is like 6'. I'm guessing they could fix that problem with platform shoes like they did in X-Men to make Cyclops taller than Wolverine.

Stephen Dorff is the type of actor you'd expect to see in an X-Men movie. Not an extremely well known actor, but not an unknown either.

[da creole kid]

Ryan Gosling- up and coming actor.... in the Notebook I believe he had a southern accent (A Cajun accent is nothing more than a southern drawl influenced by the modern French).... plays dark, deceptive characters very well

Brad Renfro- (Singer might be out of the boat but if he still able to do X3) worked with him and McKellen in Apt Pupil.... seems to play characters in flux which could work the Gambit role.... for (Rogue/Gambit fans) shares the same birthdate (or simply off by one day) with Anna Paquin if age difference is a concern

Jared Leto- from Louisiana.... plays the mysterious types....has a good Gambit-esque look.... the lady's love him

[Gambit_Fan]

Stephen Dorff all the way 4 me

[West]

Stephen Dorf is way too short. you guys are crazy.

Gambit is supposed to be tall. We need someone taller than Stephen Dwarf.

[PhoenixFire]

two words brad pitt
two words: too big

Did I mention Ian Sommerhalder yet?

He's 5'9", 25 years old, from Louisanna, a talented yet not "name" actor, and the most beautiful man on the planet.

There's no contest-just look at that smirk . . .

Gambit is supposed to be tall. We need someone taller than Stephen Dwarf. Wolverine is 5'4, if that, in the comics prior to the films, but that didn't mean Hugh Jackman was bad. Jean Grey was 5'6 and played beautifully by 5'11 Famke Janssen. Storm is 5'11 whereas Halle is maybe 5'5 or thereabouts. 6+ foot tall Cyclops was played by 5'8-5'9 James Marsden and it was fine. An actor not being tall enough is no reason to not cast them. You could get a tall sack of suck and it wouldn't be better than a short but believeable actor. Try to come up with better reasons to not want an actor in a part than height. It just seems so secondary and unimportant.

[amazinspiderman]

i like the jared leto idea, in my mind he is the most talented of the actors that most people have mentioned.

[DumbBrunette]

My top pick for Gambit is this guy right here.

Drew Fuller (http://www.drewfullerfan.com/images/charmed/615/gallery.php?image=103)
Drew with red eyes (http://www.drewfullerfan.com/images/charmed/618/gallery.php?image=139)
He's best known for his work on Charmed as Chris Halliwell. Not very well known, which is probably the best way to go. I think with a bit of training up as Gambit has a slightly rougher build, he'd be perfect.

The guy from Rules Of Attraction right? He looks too prettyboyish to me, but might work. That guy from Charmed seems alright an all. Martinez still my choice tho

I have seen him on charmed several times and I have to say that he cannot act. I tend to change the channel because of him.

Ian Somerhalder could work. He definitely has the smirk.

There's no contest-just look at that smirk . . .

And why would Gambit look like a Gay Porn Star?

Only kidding, that guy does look a little "wishy-washy" to though, theres no way he could ever pass on screen for rugged ragin Cajun.

[AgentGoodnight]

I think Ian Somerhalder will work. I mean look at this pic http://smashed-peaches.net/scans/iansomerhalder1.jpg

[BRUTAL]

Credible pic (though he does look a little like he has downs in it)

I still say, Hartnett or Dorff though because they both have the chops and there is such a thing as "too pretty"

[DumbBrunette]

Still not seeing it.
I have seen him on charmed several times and I have to say that he cannot act. I tend to change the channel because of him.
Have you seen the more recent episodes? Because he's improved. A lot.

[SPQR]

I really don't care who they pick....I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I can't stand Gambit. I always thought his power was weak, and his New Orleans accent was annoying.

But, if they do have him in it, I'd take that guy from SWAT, Olivier Martinez.

If you have such distaste for him why did you stumble into a thread titled "Your picks for GAMBIT????"

I know it wasn't a mistake because despite your hatred you even POSTED in that thread.

Anyone can go into a thread and post anything they want and then follow it up by throwing out a vote for popular opinion, I just hope next time you do it you realize how stupid you look.

[legolas2002]

I would suggest a young actor, in his early twenties, that is tall, very physically fit and can handle the accent. I don't have any thought out candidates, at the moment, but will think of some, just wait.

[BRUTAL]

Ok...

[ljr]

The actor has to pass for mid-twenties,as I can't see them bringing him into it if their not going to do the whole rogue/gambit attraction thing.Especially now that there will probably be a new director-their bound to have him interacting with rogue-I mean the whole wolverine-jean-cyclops triangle will kinda be on hold with her being the dark phoenix-so they'll what a new triangle to bring the sexiness and romance to x-3.

[Vicious]

Well I don't think that who ever they finally cast has to be previously famous. Just look at Hugh Jackman.

I'll just throw out my own personal choice. Jay Kenneth Johnson. He was on Days of Our Lives and is on that (ugh) Fox show NorthShore. But he has the look, size, and might be able to pull off the role.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/viciouslytaken/pictures-a/jkj-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/viciouslytaken/pictures-a/jkj-2.jpg

[DumbBrunette]

Sorry, but I'm not seeing it. He just doesn't look like Gambit to me.

[ljr]

He blondish so how good would he look with dark brown hair,probably not as nice.

[da creole kid]

Jay Kenneth Johnson is good, but he was born to play Havok.

[BRUTAL]

I'm not with the Havok theory because Havok is older then Scott and that guy look like a 6 year old altar boy... plus he'd make a much more convincing Angel (note: I said 'Angel' NOT 'Archangel')

[Ashlocke]

Yeah, he would make a better Angel.

[JackBauer]

Desmond Harrington for Gambit...

Jared Leto is 33. No thanks! I don't want a wrinkling Gambit in X-men 4.
Someone 24-27 in age would be perfect, I think is where we should be looking at. Just abit older than Anna Paquin, who is 22 atm.

[Gambit_Fan]

im a big Gambit fan n wud luv 2 c stephen dorff play the role but all these threads about it is stupid we only need 1 thread for casting gambit not 30

obviously you havent seen the guy without his shirt on :p

Besides, 33 isn't the age of old and wrinkling :rolleyes:

Anna Paquin was a total mistake to cast...she sucks and they really shouldn't have made her look like she's 12:mad:

[BRUTAL]

Leave it to you Jayne to bring Leto's body into it. LOL

I agree that 33 is far from "old" but as far as Paquin lookin' young...

I think the rest of the guys here would agree with me in that she's "nubile" and we should see her "blossom" in the next film.

And I mean "blossom" as far as acting prowess... get your minds out of the gutter...

Geez...

[Ions]

Originally posted by InsayneJayne

Besides, 33 isn't the age of old and wrinkling :rolleyes: Yeah but 34(for X-men3, if they film next year)-37(assuming another long wait for X-men 4). Sorry thats just way to old. And he'd look very out of place with Anna Paquin. All likelihood Gambit will have something to do with Rogue. And they'll cast a guy who looks good with her. Probably a young up and coming actor. Like how Aaron Stanford was cast for Pyro, and Shawn Ashmore was cast for Iceman. To help keep costs down by hiring these unknowns.

Bottom Line Olivier Martinez. That is it enough said, leave it alone. He is the best. Not Dorff, not, F!@# Letto, not anyone else. Its done. He can act. He looks just like Gambit and anyway Gambit wouldnt be applealing too you in his early 20s as a character. No depth would be there. We need a character with a story and a past.

[C-dubz]

I wonder if Johnny Depp could pull it off

although it would be kinda weird to have a rogue/iceman/gambit love triangle

And on a side note, I agree, James Marsters would make a good ArchAngel, not Gambit. As much as I would like to see Gambit, I think considering the Plot of X3 would revolve around Jean/Phoenix, I dont think Gambit would be of much use in the film

No James Marsters, Keanu Reeves, Ryan Phillippe or any teen bop teeny actor!

I like having the unknown, talented actors in good movies, not teeny flicks where fangirls get all gooshy and gooey.

Welcome to the Hype!

West actually seems like a good choice, but I'd still root for Sommerhalder over him.

[joker]

thanx for the welcome...Sommerhalder, i dont think ive heard of him, or atleast seen any movies with him, i have seen his pic though and i dunno...if its the guy your talking about but he looks too much of a kid...

[Liquid Ice]

I like west....he would probably be my next choice also. What does somerother look like again. Is there a pic of him here. Also has anyone seen AVP the Italian or so guy could also do a good job.

[the311saint]

I'll throw out a couple that I didn't see anywhere (I skimmed through, so forgive me if they were...)


http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/2077/JoshCharle_Grani_1329764_400.jpg
Josh Charles - He may be a bit old, but I like him, and JC is a great method actor, and can really pull off that whole "thief" feel I'm sure. Plus I'm still a fan of his from Sports Night...

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0139239/2
Timothy Olyphant - For if they wanted a younger (but still older than the "X-Kids") actor for him.

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0310910/Burns.jpg
Edward Burns - Again, big fan of his, as long as it's THIS look, not any of his others... He so impressed me in Confidence, that I think he's worth a look at casting if they want Gambit older...

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/1475/AndrewKeeg_Grani_557408_400.jpg
Andrew Keegan - I dunno, maybe... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I don't know too much about Gambit really (I'm sure it shows), I didn't read the comic too much or anything, but he was a favorite of mine, so I'd like to see someone good filling his shoes. Dorff and Michael Vartan are both good picks in my opinion, so if it's either of them... :D

[Jambalaya]

I've participated in Gambit threads before. Someone convinced me Dorff would be cool. I think that's a pretty cool idea.
But I'm still sticking to Christian Kane. Great at playing a bad ass, good shape and some great fighting scenes with Boreanaz on Angel. He plays Lindsey.
http://www.boomspeed.com/prophecyboy/Lindseytattoos.jpg
Looks like Remy to me.

[Liquid Ice]

Maybe??

[xclan]

Josh Harnett....
think about it....

[Liquid Ice]

thought about...... no!

[Liquid Ice]

Actually you have to give me a lil more reason why Josh Hartnett.

[Rafferty Rulz]

Drew Fuller. He has the looks. The athleticism. Very Charismatic. AND is one helluva actor. :D

im stickin wiv Stephen Dorff

stephen is all wrong. he just couldnt do a gambit. He doesnt have it.

[kingcat]

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/683/gambit2.jpg

[Liquid Ice]

kingcat lay off the crack. seriously.

[LadyVader]

That Drew Fuller guys actually looks good.
Kane is a bit too old and bulky.
Shane West just has the most annoying high voice, couple that with the cajun accent and my ears will start to bleed.

and actually, Dorff already played a thief and a bad ass. My love of him has drasticly decreased however since he appeared in that damn "Woe's me" Britney Spears video.

[BRUTAL]

Dorff tops my list right next to Hartnett

[The Senator]

I like Drew Fuller. I think they should go with someone relatively unknown. It seems to have worked well in the past, imo.

[soundtrack2]

i think that colin farrell could be a good gambit (only w/ a cajin accent of course). he reminds me alot of gambit: sexy, smooth, doesnt care what other people say, ruff around the edges, has the look, and did i meantion that hes damn hott/sexy?i would send a pic but i dont know how.

[BRUTAL]

Wow! Such an INSPIRED choice based wholly on ABILITY!!!

Colin Farrell now why didn't ANYONE ELSE think of that?!? Geez it's almost mindboggling how OBVIOUS it is! Why did I see it all along????

Oh wait, that's right, because it's a bad idea...

[X-Nemesis]

Well...here's my 2 cents but I think this guy would make a great gambit.

http://www.kartelle.com/actors/lafemmenikita/RoyDupuis/roydupuis-small.jpg

http://pages.globetrotter.net/mnonstby/Gemeaux3.jpg

[DarkKnight101]

My choice for Gambit is Eric Mabius. He has the look and he is one hell of an actor. He is like 33 although he looks like he is 25. He would bring great presence to the role of Gambit.

[TNC9852002]

http://www.kartelle.com/actors/lafemmenikita/RoyDupuis/roydupuis-small.jpg

Hmmm,..not bad,...Never seen him before

-TNC

[LadyVader]

Ohhh... the days when I used to watch Nikita... mmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhmmmmmm
Michael :)

He's a little old now but in his younger days he would've made a great Gambit. Even if in 5 seasons of Nikita I think I saw him smile maybe once or twice. :)

[ljr]

Eric Mabius was the lead in The Crow: Salvation and he played Matt in Resident Evil.

[ljr]

Cute,but to old looking.

[combocaz]

jake gyllenhaal will get the gambit role if he really wanted it.

[GoldGoblin]

Orlando Bloom.

[spideylover89]

No matter how old he is Johny Depp would make an awesome Gambit.
But if you must insist on a younger actor, I think Colin Farrell would be good too
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/spideylover89/colin_farrell004b.jpg

He has the attitude and the scruffy look, so I think he's perfect :D

[GoldGoblin]

Ryan Reynolds,would also be a cool choice.

[TNC9852002]

Colin Farrell is a B-list celebrity now...He's wayy too up the ladder to play a minor/supporting character like Gambit,..

-TNC

[Big Dirty Ogre]

besides, his american accent isn't exactly top notch. the odds of him pulling off a cajun accent are slim to none.

How about we cast Justin Timberlake as Gambit and then have Phoenix flay him in the first five minutes?

That way everyone will be happy.

[Needia]

Johnny Depp would be awesome, I don't care how old he is. :D

[Liquid Ice]

Ok maybe Jonny Depp that would and could be one of the only people, other than O.M. to carry xmen into the new era, but he probably wouldnt do a sequel.

[LadyVader]

people, you need to be realistic here.
Johnny Depp? The part is to small for Collin Farell, and you want Depp? who is among the biggest names in Hollywood? Why would he ever touch a role like this?

[spideylover89]

people, you need to be realistic here.
Johnny Depp? The part is to small for Collin Farell, and you want Depp? who is among the biggest names in Hollywood? Why would he ever touch a role like this?

Beacause Johnny wasn't a big time hollywood star until Pirates. Frankly I think has always been an amazing actor, I fell in love with when Edward Scissorhands came out. And I don't think he's the kind of actor who would care how big the part is. After all that never bugged him before. Also we don't really know how big Gambit's part would be. So it could happen.

[Liquid Ice]

Johnny has always been a huge star spideylover. He just doesnt choose the roles that throw him in. He is reserved for the wierder films.

[DumbBrunette]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Drew Fuller.

[Liam Goody UK]

I think he would be good for Gambit

((Goran Visnjic from ER ))

[spideylover89]

Johnny has always been a huge star spideylover. He just doesnt choose the roles that throw him in. He is reserved for the wierder films.

Don't get me wrong, I agree, I fell in love with him when I saw Edward Scissorhands. But he wasn't the poster boy for hollywood until Pirates which is why I think he wouldn't have a problem doing a small role. He even said he loves doing the weird stuff because it's something he will be remembered by.

[newwaveboy87]

i say Olivier Martinez

but that's just my opinion, if they wanted to go younger i have no idea on who

[TripXyDE]

who's like the top 5 leading possible actors to play Gambit? I always wanted James Marsters who plays Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to be Gambit

[Liquid Ice]

wow tripxyde lay off the x for real. Anyway yeah my fist person would be olivier martinez. But if johnny did it that would set it off. Only problem is he most likely wouldnt do a sequel.

[Liquid Ice]

who da hell is drew fuller anyway?

[DumbBrunette]

Ever hear of Charmed, Liquid Ice? He played a character, Chris, on the show last season.
There are photos on this very thread I believe. Somewhere...

[Comic nerd]

OH! I can see David whatever... who plays Angel to be Mr. LeBeau in X3. just give him black eyes with red pupils and a gruff goatee and we have a gambit!

[Equint77]

Hey I'd like to see someone around Rogue's age to compete with Iceman...

If you're gonna have Gambit you might as well tie him up with Rogue and go through that relationship.

[Liquid Ice]

That boy from Charmed. Oh my G@#. Never say him for Gambit again. Not even close. In that case Macy grey for storm. WTF

[ljr]

I think drew fuller could pull off a mid-twenties Gambit perfectly.

[LMason]

My pick is Seth Gabel, currently playing Famke Janssen's son on Nip/Tuck. On the show, he's a complete sociopath, but he has quite the innocent look to him. He has AMAZING range, as anyone who's been following the show can attest. If they are trying to keep him in Rogue's age range, this guy is perfect except for the height. He's shorter than Famke, which means shorter than Shawn Ashmore as well.

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/HH/0181787/sethniptuck2.jpg

[RogueyStars2004]

My choice for Gambit would be Kyle Lowder. I hope they cast the character in his early 20's that way they can hook him up with Rogue. If they did decide to go for an older casting then I would choose Daniel Goddard. They both would be perfect for the role. Also, I am new here and I was wondering how to put an avatar under my name? If you would like to see a picture of Kyle Lowder or one of him as Gambit, just let me know and I can hook you up with a link to see some photo manips my sister and I have done.

~RogueyStars2004~

[Grey Area]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/yarrum/josh35B15D.jpg

would make a good gambit...

[DumbBrunette]

I think drew fuller could pull off a mid-twenties Gambit perfectly.
So do I (well duh)

[RogueyStars2004]

I have only two picks for Gambit. One for if they make him younger to pair him up with Rogue and the other a little older, to be around the same age as Cyclops and Jean.

The first is Kyle Lowder. He is 24, 6'1", around 175lbs. Yes, he is a soap star, but I believe he is a very talented actor. I am not just saying that because I think he is hot. My sister and I have also made him over numerous times to be the Rajun Cajun cause he is our number one pick for the role. He is the guy in the first two pictures.

The other pick for the older Gambit is Daniel Goddard. He played Dar in Beastmaster the t.v. show. He is only 33, and 6'2". I am not sure of his weight, but he has the build. He is very good at working a staff cause he did it everyday playing the Beastmaster. He is also very good at action scenes, so he would be great in fight scenes. We haven't made him over yet, but we might. He is the guy in the last picture.

[PhoenixFire]

Roguey, I'd say that's another case of us needing better actors. In the case of Dar the Beastmaster much, much better actors. I can't really comment on the other fellow, but the fact that he's from a soap doesn't recommend him.

I remain fixed in saying that Ian Sommerhalder is the way to go.

Or possibly Shane West.

[RogueFox]

I do like the idea of Dorff, Marsden (Spike), how about colin farrell??? hayden christensen???? http://www.starwars.com/bio/haydenchristensen.html
heath ledger??? but brad pitt would make a wonderful gambit and we need to get some one a little more sassy and up beat than anna paquin as rogue in there! i can't stand her as rogue!

shane west, not a bad pick either based on his performance in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

-"I wouldn't know... is the vampiric sucking of someone's blood radical thinking to you?" Mina Harker

[DumbBrunette]

hayden christensen????
I could definitely see him as Angel. Gambit, not so much.

[Lucky]

Heyden christensen??? did you even see Star Wars episode two?
Hes a horrible actor...I mean...the worst I've seen so far...dont put him in anymore movies

[JerseyJoker]

Heyden wasnt bad in SW:episode 2, it was a good movie and light years better then episode 1.

He deff. is not Gambit material, but possibly Angel, i could maybe see him as an angel.

[MsNatchios]

Daniel Goddard is beautiful! Cast him and if he can't act, he can just wing it and play off on his looks! :D

[Psiren]

I could see Hayden Christenson as Chamber. He's got the brooding thing off to a fine art...and the bio blasts mean I wouldn't have to look at his face. Bonus!

Stephen Dorff has always been my interior-head Gambit...

[DumbBrunette]

Heyden wasnt bad in SW:episode 2
And he was great in Higher Ground.
(cancelled canadian show. Don't ask.)

[Sauron]

HARRY CONNNICK JR. Authentic cajun and suave lookin ladies man.
Kind of cool idea but, too old IMO. :)

[Venardhi]

Hayden isnt a bad actor, everyone is bad in the prequel trilogy. . . coughdirectorsfaultcough.

If you see him in his other works he is just as capable as most and moreso than many. . . but he isnt right for gambit.

[MsNatchios]

Hayden was awesome in Life As A House. Totally recommend it...great movie.

[Lucky]

sorry about my outburst, but maybe I'd be more open to the idea if I didnt hate him so much

[Kingfish]

Christian Kane for Gambit!

[jaguarr]

He's too old for the part, now, but Dennis Quaid has always sort of stuck in my head as Gambit. He nailed the Cajun spirit and accent in his role as Remy of all names in "The Big Easy". He's got that charm, looks and the trademark smirk down to a "T", in my mind. It's too bad he's not younger. At any rate, none of the suggestions thus far have really done it for me. Dorff could probably do it, but I still think there's someone out there who's probably better for the role, but who knows who that might be?

which one would YOU choose as GAMBIT out of the pictures posted...if you had to of course?

[Lucky]

that picture of Gyllenhaal looks good for gambit (though I wouldnt say he usually does look the part) and Leto looks good too, but I wouldint say perfect, all I see is X's for Dorff and Henderson


Edit: and Im claiming Hayden Christianson as my mortal enemy...I'll get you for this Hayden!!!!

[trinityx]

The pics of henderson and dorff are showing up for me...you could try copying and pasting the image link...

Stephen Dorff

Martin Henderson
http://www.britneysource.com/pictures/albums/Music%20Videos/Toxic/bscap1158.jpg

sorry if the pics still don't show up!

- although he doesn't normally look that way, if they can make gyllenhaal look gambit-like in a picture...then they can do it for the movie!! YUMMY!!

[DumbBrunette]

Wow Leto does look a lot like Gambit....But I'm going to have to keep my original choice, Drew Fuller.

[Lucky]

Im going to have to go with Dorff now that i've seen the picture, he looks perfect for Gambit to me

[Nightwing: Endgame]

Dorff All The Way!

[ljr]

Too old and too short,be a realistic Gambit.

[TNC9852002]

Hey guys!..Are you watching Lost on ABC?!..

Ian Somerhalder is starring in it...He's a pretty good actor..I bet he could pull off the Gambit persona..

I didn't even know he was on the series until I started watching it just now..

He is?
I saw a bit of it, but I didn't recognize him...Mostly because I was falling asleep from boredom ( :p ).

[ljr]

He's been suggested quite a few times,and I reckon he could be a great Gambit.

[RexxStone]

Does anyone know if Gambit is in the next movie?

[gap5ewl]

ok since ur new i wont yell at you, but dont be surprised if evryone else does. no one knows but there is a very high possibility he will be in it.

[gap5ewl]

HSATLOLREM X3

[RexxStone]

Thanks, but why would they yell at me?

[Kingfish]

you dont wanna know how many people put that question up over and over and over...

[Liquid Ice]

pitty the youth.

[Posting Madonna]

JR. Bourne should play Gambit in X3.

[Posting Madonna]

alright yall might think im crazy but give it some thought...Shane West...hes got that...look to him, kinda rugged ladys man bad ass kinda thing, hes also kinda young so yea im stickin with Shane
How about JR Bourne? Martouff on SG-1. What a great addition that would be.:)

[DIZZY MOONBEAM]

BWAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!


That just made my day.

[Numb]

:xmen: Colin Farrell...

[Kingfish]

colin farrell is bullseye
gambit should be christian kane

[ShadowBoxing]

someone said Havok is older than Scott...someone needs to stop reading alternate X-Men and Mutant X...Havok is Scotts younger brother. I'll stake my life on it

And Oliver Martinez all the way

[American_Idiot]

#1 Choice for Gambit = Skeet Ulrich

Now if someone who's good at manipulating pics, could take the picture from the link below, put a card in his hand, and give us a nice Gambit pic, that would be awesome!

http://firesanctuary.com/skeet/jp-skeet01.jpg

#2 choice, I have to agree with whoever said Oliver Martinez

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/twentieth_century_fox/unfaithful/olivier_martinez/unfaithful.jpg

[xclan]

Actually you have to give me a lil more reason why Josh Hartnett.
page 3 has the comparison. check it...

[LadyVader]

I saw Ian Somerholder in Rules of Attraction and the few times he was on Smallville. The character of Adam Knight reminded me of Gambit, until he went all psycho. *sigh*

[OnlyBlackCat]

to my mind, stephen dorff is the incarnation of Gambit and Dominic Purcell (John Doe in the tv show "John Doe" and Drake/Dracula in "Blade Trinity") is the best actor to play Beast. and Dominic is a friend of Hugh Jackman (the great Wolverine!)

[TNC9852002]

Egads Batman! :p :p

[Psiren]

Blimey, I've only been here a couple of weeks myself, and my tongue's bitten through as well! [agree about Stephen Dorff, though you didn't hear me say that]

[Obsidian]

1. Steve Bacic as Beast (for continuity's sake)

2. Dominic Purcell as Beast (cuz he rocks)

[Spectre722]

how about jude law? collin farrel? harry connick jr.'s a little out of left field but i can see it workin

[aosist]

Two people playing Beast .... different.

Stephen Dorff rocks! But as Gambit?

No.

[Acro]

Stephen Dorf doesn´t even look like Gambit. And he´s already played one Marvel character in Blade, remember? It would be like seeing Hugh Jackman play Kraven!!!

[ljr]

how about jude law? collin farrel? harry connick jr.'s a little out of left field but i can see it workin
In your head maybe,here in the real world NO!!! :eek: :)

[Xclaim]

Hey, If Rebecca Romijn Stamos can get away with it, so can Stephen Dorff. If he can do a decent Cajun accent, I think he'd be alright.

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I think Stephen Dorff is a sublime choice

He's got a great look for it, has the chops, and I believe he could really add a neww flavor to the story and not seem to much like Logan
i agree with you on Stephen Dorff. the other day i was reading through some of my old X-Men comics and i can really see the resemblence between Gambit and Dorff. and he's got the acting chops. just gotta see how his French accent will sound.

[DIZZY MOONBEAM]

CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, MUST RUN AWAY AND HIDE!!!!!!!!

Honestly I really hope that someone gets the role as Gambit, that way we can stop having these "Who should play Gambit threads"

[xclan]

I think Max Headroom would be a great Gambit....

[Nightwing: Endgame]

Dorff for an older gambit

Marsters for a younger gambit

[RogueyStars2004]

Dorff for an older gambit

Marsters for a younger gambit

:xmen: How can Marsters be a younger Gambit? He is 40 years old!!!!! That isn't young! Here is how it should be:

Kyle Lowder for younger Gambit and Daniel Goddard for an older Gambit.:xmen:

http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/xmenx.gif Hmm... who hasn't been mentioned yet? How about James Franco? I know he's already playing a Marvel Character in Spiderman, but I think he could really pull it off.

*shudders at thought of Orlando "no facial expressions"Bloom in the xmen franchise* yeauch
hmmm...gambit..poss. steven dorff...but need someone cheekier...someone dark with the overlying sense of devil-may-care wotsit...someone who looks good with auburn hair...Paul Bettany!!! :-P tee hee...don´t really think so...but still...

[LadyVader]

CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, MUST RUN AWAY AND HIDE!!!!!!!!

Honestly I really hope that someone gets the role as Gambit, that way we can stop having these "Who should play Gambit threads"

yeah but then we would get a gazillion "What I think about X playing Gambit" threads... and then there are the "I think Y would be a better Gambit then X" and that awsome oldie but goldie "The official X slurp thread"... and let's not forget the "X as Gambit manip" threads... and last but not least the "WOW! Golly-gee-wiz I just spoke with X" threads.

The sky's the limit my friend. :joker:

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I vote for Franco.

[ljr]

I like frano,but I can't see it happening,he's just to well known for being a spiderman character.

[blue_girl173]

i agree. i think he was good in spidey but i havent seen him in anything else so in my mind i would see him as goblin junior. also would he have enough time and/or patience to do two superhero movies at once? just wondering

because dork, that would really piss alot of people off having him in two marvel movies...... plus its really stupid.

[jdogg willie]

Anybody see the movie "Girl Next Door"?? The guy who plays Kelly, Timothy Olyphant, looks the part. He can act, he was in that TV series Deadwood, GND of course, and Scream 2 (I didn't know that one)
