i like meyers... he was scary as hell in match point (great movie btw), but i liked him alot in bend it like beckham... he was pretty hot actually...

 

[Angamb]

He truly has some of Gambit characteristics. But maybe hasn't the exact look.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

I'd accept him easily. He's a good actor, looks aren't as important as acting.

so,no one looks exactly like the character they are playing

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i felt Nightcrawler and Xavier were pretty dead on

 

[Matt.S99]

close,but not dead on,very close though

 

[emmymae]

There also people who are dead wrong for the part, and Mr. Rhys Meyers is one of them. The actors should have a good enough resemblance to the character and be able to do justice to their unique story and personality. I'm familiar with his acting and he is just not right for Gambit. He seems to always play angry, and lacks a lot of depth in his acting. Sorry Jonathon fans.

A great picture of what Gambit should look like is the cover of the TPB House of Cards of the most recent Gambit solo series. The cover on that is the cover of Gambit 3# (Fourth Series). I don't have a working scanner so I can't show you it, but you can find it on UncannyXmen.net or the French Quarter Website at www.geocities.com/thefrenchquarter03/thefrenchquarter03.

I saw the cover. Seems nice. And movie Gambit could perfectly use the exact same clothes. But, whoever plays Gambit, I'd like him to have this hairstyle:

Yep, that's Sawyer's hairstyle. I don't want Holloway for Gambit, but this hairstyle is kinda perfect.

 

[Matt.S99]

me too,i like the long haired gambit more than the short haired

 

[Angamb]

Oh, a new hair style discussion... interesting, hahahaha.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

This is not the Rogue thread, we hardly had any (please, tell me you won't fill this one with manips too )

 

[Matt.S99]

oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i think hair is angambs weird fetish lol

 

[Angamb]

hahahahahahhahahahaah. Guys, please, you sound.... whatever. I won't be doing Gambit hair manips, don't worry. I preffer working with the girls.

And yes, I like that style too for Gambit.

 

[Neptune]

I like the new hair as well the Jim Lee "short" hair. Although it's impossible for him to wear his hair like this in real life.

 

[Matt.S99]

i honestly doubt they will give him the mask thing

 

[flavio_lebeau]

yeah, they won't...I wouldn't complain if he at least had a headband.

 

[Karea07]

I like the shorter hair for Gambit.

 

[Neptune]

yeah, they won't...I wouldn't complain if he at least had a headband.

He should definitely have headband. His hair should be a little scruffy too.

 

[Matt.S99]

yeah, they won't...I wouldn't complain if he at least had a headband.

yeah same here,i just think its better if he doesnt have the mask thing,seriously,not alot(if any) of people walk around with a headband/mask like that

 

[flavio_lebeau]

I agree.

 

[Neptune]

I think it's obvious he won't have the mask in the movies. Although with him being a thief and all, he could wear one while he's out stealing something. But it's not a must.

 

[Angamb]

yes, that could be a possibility. I'd like to see it, at least in one or two scenes. They could do it. It's not so difficult.

 

[Matt.S99]

i think he could wear something like a ski mask or a domino mask,not that thing,honestly what does that cover?your ears?lol

 

[Spider-Fan83]

i think, maybe just a scene or 2, with him wearing a bandana (or do-rag as the say, these days lol) would be fine
or maybe the movie will be set in winter, and its cold, so, he wears one of these lol

 

[Angamb]

yes, something like that would be good.
