World Gambit

[heathm]

I want to start a thread on anything and everything gambit, images, who you think should be cast, history of him in the comics and cartoon series, how he should be portrayed in the movie, anything, especially some good images and manips.

 

[Arach Knight]

I'll contribute to ideas on who should play Gambit...

Jason Carter
Tom Cruise
Adrian Paul
Cherif Fortin

The last guy on the list or Jason Carter may probably kind of look the part the most.

arach- i dont know who some of those people are, do you think you could supply some pics?

 

[Arach Knight]

I'm not sure how to add images to this forum. I know the usual html tag, but a lot of boards differ on using < or [ for brackets. Anyways a google search should yield pictures. Most of these guys are models if I am not mistaken, so perhaps for acting quality, it was a bad choice.Tom Welling could make a good Gambit...he can act well.

Don't ever become a casting director. Ever.

 

[Arach Knight]

I don't know...Guy Pearce is a really good actor. He has shown his diversity by doing the lead role in movies like Memento and Count of Monte Cristo. He even looks the part of Gambit in some photographs

Cuz Ryan Reynolds, he's SOOOO much better...

I think an unknown actor would be best. I really don't like the way Fox is handling this Gambit situation though.

 

[aaron]

no-one does

guy pearce is too old. they need someone younger

 

[squeekness]

I don't know his name, but the French guy in Musketeer was pretty cool. He was jumping and leaping around on ladders and stuff. Very acrobatic like Gambit should be. The whole time I was watching that movie -- it came out just after the first X-men movie -- that that guy should be the one to get a phone call. You need a young, flexible guy. I love Guy peirce, but yeah, he is just a little too old.

Shane West...that's 'nuff said...

I don't know if this counts but I wrote a fanfiction with a lot of Gambit in it. It's at fanfiction.net at www.fanfiction.net/s/2486472/1/. if anyone is interested. There's a lot of good fanfiction on that site with a lot of good Gambit stories. Check it out.

I think Heath Ledger might make a good Gambit. Or maybe the producers should go down to the bayou and find some random cajun that looks enough like him.

Heath wpuld be good -- there were rumors waaay back that he had been looked at for Wolverine in X1 before Hugh was chosen. Problem is, Fox wouldn't want to pay Heath's bill. He's too popular right now. They'll cast someone they can get cheap. It might work out, I'd never heard of Hugh Jackman before X-men and he was quite good.

 

[ghost113]

i heard gambit isn't even going to be in X3. that totally sucks. but if he were they should have gotten someone unknown like they did for wolverine and rogue.

 

[ljr]

I still say wait and see,I don't completely believe he won't be in it.The xverse could be full of it or fox could just be playing one of their games.

 

[Roguex18]

IMO Sean William Scott would of made a good Gambit, He was Gambit-like in Bulletproof Monk

I read in Wizard Magazine that Gambit will play a minor role in the movie, but it's unknown if he'll be with Xavier or Magneto.

I read this too and then when I started coming here I heard he got dropped. It seems like there are people here with more up to date info, even a couple of guys who are actually in the movie in minor parts. I can't say now who's more reliable.
