jukebox_csiWell, I'm very excited to read that Gambit has been cast for a role in the new Wolverine Origins movie.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6813
If that is the case, I'm gonna be one of the first in line to see it. Maybe even take a day off work...
I can only hope and pray that he'll have more than a quick cameo; that he'll have a substance role. And they better not take away his accent and the rogueish charm that makes him the loveable Cajun thief. Thank HEAVENS they aren't casting him with Rogue *hates on her* That can only mean that Marvel has no real input on this film, which is a very good thing! LOL
In honor of this possibility, I give you Gambit quotes and dialogue.
"After all dis time--an I still manage to impress myself."
-Gambit, Uncanny X-Men #312
"Alors! I thought I'd joined the X-Men, not the Brady Bunch! There are some things I prefer not to do in a group." (Gambit)
"For de first time since you dropped into dis century, you called me Remy. You tryin' to make me blush?"
-Gambit to Bishop, Uncanny X-Men #334
"So why's everybody callin' him 'Joseph'? What is dat all about? Maybe I should just start callin' myself somethin' different. James. "Gambit?" "No, I'm James." "
-Gambit, Uncanny X-Men #337
