'Wolverine' Has Nothing For Gambit, Says Taylor Kitsch

Posted 10/5/11 11:42 am EST by in Marvel, News


If Taylor Kitsch is to be believed, it looks like the ship has sailed on his time with Gambit.

When MTV News caught up with Kitsch while he was promoting his latest action flick, "John Carter," he didn't seem too optimistic about Gambit, his "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" character, making a cameo in Hugh Jackman's big screen follow-up, "The Wolverine." That being said, he didn't seem too broken up about it either.

"That's up to Hugh, if he wanted it. We'll see. I don't think I'm in it, I haven't heard anything," Kitsch said. "I got my plate full, man. I'm pretty happy where I'm at."

Can Gambit And Rogue Connect After 'Wolverine'? Taylor Kitsch Talks Team-Up With Anna Paquin

Posted 5/4/09 10:13 am EST by in Marvel, News


GambitActor Taylor Kitsch thinks his "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" character Gambit would be prime fodder for a solo spin-off movie, even if the mutant isn't making a return for "X-Men: First Class." The "Friday Night Lights" star already shared his proposal for a darker take on Gambit, but he has a few thoughts on bringing the ragin' Cajun face to face with his comic book love interest Rogue, played in previous X-Men films by Anna Paquin.

"There are two things with that -- she's such a great actress and I'd love to work with her, and that would be cool to see Gambit and Rogue," Kitsch told MTV News. Read More...

Is Gambit The Most Anticipated Mutant To Debut In 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'?

Posted 4/30/09 4:04 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video


FROM MTV.COM: All week long, we've been chatting up the stars of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and getting the scoop on the razor-clawed old friends and sword-wielding cinematic rookies that fuel the flick. But there's only one name that fans have been shouting ever since the original "X-Men" film began its development: Gambit.

"I remember as a kid seeing him [in the comics]," 28-year-old "Friday Night Lights" actor Taylor Kitsch recalled, explaining his memories of the beloved mutant he finally puts on the silver screen on Friday. "I remember thinking, 'Man, this guy is cool!' and 'He really just doesn't give a sh-- about what other people think!'. And those are two pretty incredible things to play and bring to life."

Ever since the enigmatic Remy Etienne LeBeau was introduced in the pages of "Uncanny X-Men" in 1990, he has ranked among the most popular members of the mutant universe. Born in Louisiana and flavored by some early experiences as a professional thief, he came to be known as Gambit — a term that refers to his ability to maneuver into a position of advantage, both in battle and at games of chance.

'Wolverine' Star Gambit Keeps It Cool -- And Leaves Us Geeky

Posted 4/30/09 9:26 am EST by in Marvel, News, Video


Yesterday, I wrote a confessional blog entry talking about how guilty I feel for falling in love with Deadpool. But going into a recent screening of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” I was all about eyeballing one long-awaited character: Gambit.

Although he’s relatively young in the Marvel universe, the New Orleans-born card-shark has long been among my favorite “X-Men” characters. So maybe some fans will allow me one more completely embarrassing revelation: When I walked into a room to interview Taylor Kitsch this past weekend, I noticed that playing cards had been tossed all over the floor for ambiance.

And a chill went right up my geeky spine. Read More...

Posted 12/1/08 10:22 am EST by in Marvel, News


Hugh Jackman as WolverineThere was a lot for comics fans to give thanks for the last few days -- especially for anyone interested in movie news about Marvel's mutants. Last week we brought you the first word on a potential sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" straight from the mouth of Logan himself, Hugh Jackman, and now we have a few new images of Jackman getting his rage on and giving his claws some air.
