Riggins as Gambit?

by on February 20, 2008 in Movies, Television

I’m pretty excited that Taylor Kitsch is set to play Gambit for all three Wolverine movies.  Taylor plays my and Allison’s favorite character on Friday Night Lights: Riggins.  Josh Halloway of Lost was in talks to play Gambit, but he declined, saying it was too similar to Sawyer, his character on Lost.  Plus, I’m pretty sure he’s busy filming Lost.  Finally, Gambit is in an X-Men movie.

 

The best part of the article are all the comments at the bottom.  Comic book fans have some pretty strong feelings about who plays the characters they’ve grown up with.  The following made me laugh.  So, what are your thoughts?  Who’s your favorite X-Men character?

I’m sick of all the complaining where Gambit is going to fit in to this story. First, you all complain that Gambit isn’t in any of the movies. And now, he is in this movie, and you’re still complaining! You should be thankful he’s even in this film. You ever think the writer and director did this for you guys? It’s either this or no Gambit. So stop complaining and be thankful for this.

    “Who in the hell is Taylor Kitsch?” I’ll second that (FNL isn’t seen by many people–RIP), but it really doesn’t matter much with the debacle that was the 3rd X-Men movie. The killing Cyclops and Jean Grey has pretty much ruined the franchise for me.
