Sequels The Gambit/Remy LeBeau Casting Thread

[Balian]

He's 34, and I think he passes for late twenties, which is the average people here want Gambit to be.

 

[Neptune]

I'd rather have a younger Gambit. About 23,24,25. That Rodriguez guy does look he could pull of Remy. I'm gonna have the biggest smile plasterd on my face for a month when i finally see Gambit on the silver screen. Move over Wolvie!

 

[Matt.S99]

I say a complete unknown.

tim deegan well thats my choice..and masterj

 

[darabka]

Zen Gesner in real life...

I know him too. The Sinbad Series was pretty cool (for a while at least) and he definetly has the look (he almost looks Identical to Gambit, drawn by Jim Lee in the "New X-men" Comics wow). Also I think he is an able enough actor to portray gambit. Also I like how you made his suite, not too little but not too much like his original suit. Another possebility would be to cast an unknown french (french-american) actor to portray gambit. Also shoul Gambits eyes be always black red (like in the comics) or only changin when he uses his powers? (like storm in the movie) I personally would like the first option, but they did change storms eyes (it was a compromise that I think worked).

Well, Storm's eyes, either in comics or movies or cartoon, only go white when she uses her powers. The only change they did was that in comics and cartoon she had blue eyes, and in the movies, black. So i think his eyes will eventually be red/black always, just like Mystique, Nightcrawler...

 

[Angamb]

cheking Rodrigo Santoro page, I think he has turly the look.

See by yourself:

didn't see yet any of his films... but I won't have any problem if he end being Gambit, at least in terms of look.

 

[Angamb]

First manip I try:

 

[body_crumbles]

That looks cool. Where's he from?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004993/

He's an indie actor, done a lot of horror films, but his most famous was probably Ghost Ship... He was also in Taken, We Were Soldiers, Joan of Arc and Riding in Cars with Boys

 

[Angamb]

new Rodrigo manip:

 

[squeekness]

I haven't posted here in a while, but I'd like to say Taylor Kitsch would make a very good Gambit. He played Pogue in the Covanent and played a guy who had a lot of Gambit traits.

 

[TKing]

Yeah I agree with you. He definitely looks the part.

 

[squeekness]

He was very decent in the movie. The whole time I was watching the movie, all I could think of was he would be perfect.

 

[Octoberist]

you were probably watching his ripped muscles and butt, you dirty minded person you!

 

[squeekness]

Of course I was! Yum!

 

[Angamb]

any cap of him from that film?

 

[squeekness]

He's the guy all the way to the left.

 

[Angamb]

don't see Gambit in him really...

 

[Neptune]

Me neither. He's to bulky if you ask me. He doesn't really have a Gambit face.

 

[Balian]

Yeah... I can see why his face isn't seen in that photoshoot, he's kind of ugly... well, too ugly for Gambit anyway.

 

[LadyVader]

Me neither. He's to bulky if you ask me. He doesn't really have a Gambit face.

If that guy is too bulky what does that make Josh Holloway!?

 

[Neptune]

If that guy is too bulky what does that make Josh Holloway!?

Just as bulky?

 

[Balian]

Well I've always seen Gambit as being athletic muscular, not bulky muscular.

 

[nachoman]

Zen Gesner looks the best as gambit.

 

[darkphoenixfire]

Oliver Goodwill (Evanescense video "Dont call me when youre sober") is the best option for Gambit. Go to Yahoo Music videos, see the video and tell me that I'm wrong. He's perfect!

 

[LadyVader]

you can hardly tell how good an actor is from a video.
