Re: X3

johnny depp?

Johnny Depp is an obvious amazing character actor but I'm not sure I would want to see him play Gambit, nor do I think he is a great fit for Gambit. I'm sure they could probally get a good no name actor to play him.

Re: X3

I didn't know it was an inside joke amonst big XMen fans. Care to explain?

Just type the line into Google and look at what comes up. Some people dubbed the X-Men cartoon with humorous lines. I can't link it though because there is too much profanity for this site.

Re: X3

You have got to be kidding me! That would ruin X-men and Gambit to cast one of the worst actors ever. Hope thats a joke.

Nah I know Diesel's a bad actor and all and I definately wouldn't want to see him in the X-Men....just saying thats kinda who I think of when I picture Gambit.

Re: X3

Sure you're thinking of the right guy, Rocky?



Doesn't remind me of:



But I guess everyone's opinion's are different.

Re: X3

Vin Diesel is the last guy I think of when I think of Gambit. But yep I suppose everyone has their own opinion.

I think Roy Dupuis of "La Femme Nikita" Fame should play Gambit

I'm not really basing it on looks as much as attitude. As far as I'm concerned, appearance is the LAST thing when casting a character off a comic or TV show(not the last thing but you get the point).

IMO, the number 1 thing that Gambit has as a character is the *coolness* factor. You need to get somebody to project that. I dont know, the characters yall listed are a bit too smug for me. Diesel probaly wouldnt be a great fit and you might want to keep him from the heavily dramatic scenes as much as possible, but I think he has the charisma to play Gambit.

Look at what happened to Cyclops....guy looked the part and had decent acting skills but he had ZERO charisma and that killed the character.

Re: X3

The movie was aight. I thought it would of been better.

Re: X3

It was a good action movie, but not a good X-men movie. Overall, I'm disappointed.

Re: X3

If there is a 4th and Gambit is in it the role will likely be filled by a no-name actor. The biggest obstacle facing the franchise is the fact that there are too many A-list actors involved with the franchise who command top dollar. Any new characters added will likely be small-time.

In hindsight, I have to disagree with your assessment Hellfish that this was not a good X-Men movie. I tend to think the opposite, that this was actually the best "X-Men" movie because, lets face it, the first two might as well have been called Wolverine 1 and Wolverine 2. This movie did the best job of spreading the camera time. Some people still got snubbed (Cyclops, Angel) but overall it was not as severe as the last two (Wolverine was in every major fight in the second movie, at least here he was not).

Re: X3

And Cyclops didn't really get "snubbed"

I just don't think they wanted to waste the time re-casting him, so they killed him off early and didn't worry about it
