Cannes 2009: Exclusive Taylor Kitsch Takes Gambit Forward for Wolverine 2
Summary
Taylor Kitsch sat down with RT today on the beach in Cannes to share details of his latest project, The Bang Bang Club, in which he plays a photojournalist in post-Apartheid South Africa alongside Ryan Phillippe and Malin Ackerman. While we talked, of course, we couldn't help but ask about his next steps with Gambit, who he played in this year's Wolverine: Origins. Fox wasted no time announcing a movie based on Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool character in the film, but Kitsch seemed unaware that a Wolverine sequel had been given the go-ahead too and he shared his excitement with RT.

on May 16 2009 08:03 AM I've never been a huge fan of the character, but Origins: Wolverine set up more Gambit action relatively well. I for one would be interested to see what they could do with him. (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 09:12 AM While a sequel to Wolverine doesn't sound super exciting, I'd definitely be interested if Gambit gets to play a bigger role. (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 10:19 AM He was good, in what little there was for him. But when did "Wolverine" take place? The 70's? I'm just wonderin. (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 01:25 PM In reply to this comment (#2479313) Supposed to have, but you can't really tell from the sets and costume design. Three Mile Island occurred in 1979. I don't think the "only sh--ty part about the character" is that we didn't get to see enough of him. Accent, anyone? (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 01:31 PM Taylor was great as gambit in wolverine---hope to see him in his own spinoff or the sequel. (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 03:15 PM I'd love a Gambit spin off. One thing I've always wanted is Gambit and Apocalypse on the big screen. (Reply to this) |

on May 16 2009 03:32 PM i hope he does get his own movie because he wasnt in the movie long enough for me. (Reply to this) |

on May 18 2009 10:18 AM In reply to this comment (#2479625) Accent..... or any of his patented lines, his demeanor, his character ....very disappointed. Other than his abilities and some of his background he wasn't gambit. (Reply to this) |
