First look at Taylor Kitsch as Gambit

by Matt Holmes

One of the most memorable moments I have in my head from the leaked X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE footage from Comic-Con this year was when the crowd went fucking crazy for the first appearance of Gambit in this movie Universe. He is a character that many X-MEN fans, including myself, have for a long time hoped would appear in the series. The new issue of Empire Magazine this week gave us our first official look at Taylor Kitsch as Gambit... The new trailer for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE will be attached to prints of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL opening Dec. 12th. Don't judge Gambit's look from this image alone. Once he gets his trench coat on, he will look just like we envisioned. I hope! Thanks to Coming Soon for the image. Also, has anyone noticed that on IMDB, an actor by the name of Tom Pocock is listed as Scott Summer (aka Cyclops). What does that mean? Remember this is a prequel set many years before the events of the first X-MEN movie, are we going to see young Cyclops in this film? Discuss: What do you make of Gambit's look from this image? Are you worried there are too many new characters in Wolverine with Deadpool, Beak, Silver Fox, John Wraith, The Blob and Agent Zero all making an appearance?
