Taylor Kitsch as Gambit -- FIRST PICTURE

Taylor Kitsch as Gambit -- FIRST PICTURE

GOING ALL-IN

Here is your first look at Friday Night Lights hunk Taylor Kitsch in his new role as card-throwing Remy LeBeau, aka Gambit, in the upcoming superhero flick, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the biggest reaction during the Wolverine teaser at the summer ComicCon convention wasn’t to Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) but the minor character Gambit.

“He raised the roof,” Hugh said. “I was a tad jealous!”

He’s gonna be great ! I saw the sneak peek footage on youtube, this pic does’nt do him justice though lol! But when I saw him flip through the air and use his bo staff I was sold, plus I think Taylor Kitsch has star quality, this film will make him a star like the wolverine role did Huge Jackman. I can’t wait for this film to come out.

Gambit was one the greatest characters in the X-men series and they make him a small role in the movies??? I don’t get it

He should a been in the Original series of X-men. Who needs a wolverine origins movie

Whatever. His name isn’t in the title. He’s just a 90′s wonder. Nice purrple silk shirt. I bet he wears silk underwear too.

Gambit is my favourite x-men. I still think Jared Leto should have been Gambit, but I’m also a Taylor Kitsch fan…

I’m putting high hopes into this guy to really bring Gambit to life. I hated that they didn’t include Gambit in the original X-men movies. He was always my favorite X-men. And, now, he has a minor role. What a shame..

I’m really looking forward to seeing this.

I love Taylor Kitsch. He is fantastic on Friday Night Lights. I am sure he is going to blow everyone’s minds as Gambit. He’ll probably be in a spin off of his own.

I think Robert Pattinson would have done a good job as Gambit. He expressed interest if he wasn’t so busy.

Could be great I’ll wait and see it not judge on one picture.

He doesn’t really look like Gambit, and the blurry Com footage could only show so much.

But I do hope he’ll have red-on-black eyes in the movie.
