According to ShowBizSpy.com, Josh Holloway, who lately has been playing the “kinder and gentler” conman Sawyer on ABC’s Lost has stated he’s been approached by Fox to play the part of Gambit in X-Men 4.
If this is in fact true, then it confirms that despite the studio announcing that they were done making X-Men movies (yeah, right) they are indeed going ahead with another sequel.

For fans of X-Men 3 this is good news, and it may even be good news for those of us who thought that movie was mediocre. A new movie means another turn at bat and there’s always that snowball’s chance in hell that if they make it, X-Men 4 could be better.
Holloway said:
“We had a meeting and they wanted me to play Gambit, the card dealer character, they thought I’d be perfect for the part. We’ll see.”
He went on to say that he’d love to play a superhero:
“l would love to play a superhero. I’d love to wear a cape and tights”
Last time I checked Gambit doesn’t have a cape, although he has worn a long trench coat and does wear tights.

bryce, my man, we did they same exact thing. my firned and i years ago, instantly chose pat stewart as prof x. we knew who he was because we would watch star trek the next generation. dolph lungren for colossus was chosen by my friend, while i said arnold swarzenneggar( i have no idea how he spells his last name so bear with me). grace jones…i understand that choice. and if iman ever refused the part, then i grace is right up there.
danzig could probably play lobo for dc. but still not a bad choice

It would be really if Josh Holloway plays the Gambit role…because they are both bad ass..
Rumors are telling that Prof. X is alive so as Cyclops..unbelievable from the plot they had at XMen 4…
I also heard that it was the writer of OC that would direct this sequel..i dunno, but i think the same director would do it..
I really can’t wait for it!!..arrgghhh…it’s on April 5 2009!…gosh!.
I hope more mutants will be featured at this one.
Wolverine, Storm and Gambit are my favorites!…and I also heard that Storm will die at this fiLm..
how sad!
man it is so cool that gambit is finly going to be in x-men4.the only bad thing is that thay are only going to it so that thay can try and save it’s idea.and by that i mean that x3 was a nife in the back. If you look at it real hard you find so meny things that are not right. People with powers that are not there powers,people shown female when in the x-men world there male, or the other way uround. tha had better do good job this time.
bryce hugh wolvy is one of only people thay casted right.well besides prof x. come on the guy thay have playing cyclops is a tool tom cruz should have played him. and the juggernot what was up with that.and thay killed sabertooth in first movie… lameooooooo
