Wolverine: Origins Movie - Cajun is casted
BlindsideDork | 8:15 AM on 02.20.2008 18 comments


The Cajun? Yes, the infamous mutant from New Orleans has been casted for the Wolverine movie ran by Hugh Jackman *face palm*. But who is the cardslinger? Not who you are/were thinking! This one is probably right out of left field.

Who will be the guy to play as Remy LeBeau? Have you ever seen Friday Night Lights? Well maybe you should cause Taylor Kitsch will be playing Gambit.



I can dig it.

Apparently someone wanted Josh Holloway for the role but I guess they wanted a younger cat to match Rogue's age? Hopefully that is their angle.


And for laughs, someone did this mock up...



Oh those crazy fans...that is laughably great!

Ok, I can handle this dude being Gambit. I heard that Ryan Reynolds might be playing Deadpool. Since my only interaction with Deadpool was Ultimate Alliance I have no opinion on that.

Thats cool there going to have gambit in the movie.

It's going to be stupid though if this movie is just full of cameo's, and not an actual wolverine story.

I really hope the Punisher war zone movie turns out good, pretty lame they picked a new punisher though. But wayne knight playing micro is perfect, can't wait to see that.

But we all know, the dark knight will basiclly own all of these movies hands down.

I mean, its batman. BATMAN.

I have never seen the Friday Night Lights show but I do love Gamibt's character. and if LeBeau ruins the cajun I will make it my goal to ruin him.

Hooray Weapon X and Alpha Flight!

Uh...you mean Kitsch right? LeBeau is Gambit's real name.

Shoot, and here I thought Gambit was getting his own movie. Not sure how I feel about him just making a cameo appearance in the Wolverine movie. I just hope they go ahead and make it R rated so we can REALLY see Wolverine in action.

Don't hold your breath Popa...it will be PG-13 and full of suck. Thanks Jackman!

He looks ok for the part, but yes, this will probably be full of suck, as you put it. Think of it like this:

Hugh Jackman also considered hiring Brett Ratner to direct this. He was impressed with his work on Xmen 3. LoL! Impressed. lol.

Fail.

Funny mock up, although, I still think Gambit is a bitch character. Playing cards that explode? Please...

Yeah, but Sphinx, he can charge ANYTHING. He just chooses to use cards more often because of his days as a thief and gambler.

Also, I don't understand why they are bringing Gambit in now. This movie is supposed to be a prequel of sorts taking place years before Wolverine's interaction with the X-Men in those movies. Therefore, Gambit will be arguably way too young to ever show up in another X-Men movie, as he is supposed to be roughly the same age as the other X-Men when he is on the team.

That fact alone has me upset. Otherwise, I think the cast looks great. I love Ryan Reynolds.
