Thank God! I love Gambit, I’m just so happy to see him on film. I was kinda hoping Josh Holloway from Lost would play him, but I’ll take what I can get.
nooo it should have been josh holloway
YES! Love Gambit, Love Taylor Kitsch, Love FNL and Riggins. Josh Holloway refused the role because it’s too close to Sawyer in Lost.
This kid is so ******* hot. Should be illegal.
i had my mind set on holloway, but kitsch is just as good. and a lot younger.
dont know who he is…..
but damn looks hot!!!!!!
Josh Holloway didnt want the role…and it’s his loss because this is Taylor’s big chance…he’s going to be awesome!
yeah baby! i prefer kitsch to holloway! way younger ang hotter! in case FNL doesn’t come back, at least he has a new project. but here’s hoping NBC brings FNL back. I love Gambit! My favorite X-men character. Thank God I like the actor playing him.
I love Gambit!! He was one of my favorite X-Men characters as well, along with Rogue (however, I didn’t really like Anna Paquin’s portrayal of her. She was okay.) because of their crazy relationship with each other.
What does it mean by “three-picture deal?” Will there be an X-Men 4 where Rogue and Gambit meet? Cuz that would totally make my day.
Perfect
Looks like damn good casting as long as Kitsch can get the southern accent right.
I think that’s an old picture of him. He has gained weight and looks like “pretty boyish.” It’s clear why they chose him as Gambit if you see the recent pictures of him. He looks like him.

hmmm…. yummy :)
Yy so Gambit WILL be in a X-Men movie :D That makes me happy! I hope he fits the role, cuz he may have the looks but can he pull off the accent?
yeah! Gambit.. one of my fav char finally brought to life..
Hot!
Hugh, what are you doing to us. How much eye-candy can a girl stand! This is going to be one fine looking film. Can’t wait!
I love Friday Night Lights. Taylor is a good actor and can pull of the southern accent. I am glad he is getting his big break. His character is a younger version of Sawyer on Lost, in that they are both bad boys who are mainly alone, but Riggins (TK’s character) is not as jaded and much nicer.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHH….CANNOT WAIT!
That’s so great for him. I love him in ‘Friday Night Lights’ He’s going to make a sexy Gambit, that’s for sure..
