okay… juggernauts not a mutant, so leech’s power wouldnt have affected him in x3, but other than that yeah bullettooth was wellcasted, but they left a lot out of juggernauts story. beast in x3 wasnt true to the character, though very well acted by frasier, beast was part of the original team in the book, before he was blue when he joined the avengers after the xmen drafted a lot of the characters from the rest of the world in the 70s (storm/africa, colossus/russia, nightcrawler/germany, wolverine/canada, banshee/scotland, etc) it sounds like a lot of you are basing your opinions on the history you learned from the tv show. but yes, gambit doesnt make sense being in the ww2 era, he didnt even get to the books until the late 80s early 90s or something. its also recently come to light (correction, been theorized) that sinister and apocolypse helped to CREATE gambit using sinister genes among others, thus why both sinister and gambit have red eyes and are clever as hell. i dont know what to think about all the incongruence of these characters, but thats quite in parallel with the other xmen movies, which took general shells of the characters (pretty much their mutant powers, and hair colors, with the exception of wolverine) and made up their entire own story. they should have called it ultimate xmen 1-3 (if your not familiar with the ultimate marvel books they do the same thing where they recreate/alter back stories.) i hope the wolverine movie changes time periods and thats why they have all these other characters that shouldnt be around in the 30s/40s around (even though the only one people seem to be noticing as one of these is gambit.)
kyle: you said maverick is missing but he’s not, there just calling him agent zero, a name he went by before and after maverick.
‘marvel:’ gambit is your favorite xmen character, not the best.

ps endri your spelling makes my eye twitch, not limited to spelling remy lebeau ramy lebu

Steve-
No, it’s not a big deal. The only reason I keep harping on it is because he is a popular character left out of the X-men movies so it’s a chance to get more fans to see Wolverine.

I remember an episode of Attack of the Show (pop-culture news show on G4 for anyone who isn’t familiar) where they announced a laundry list of characters with cameos in the then upcoming X3, and that Gambit was removed. I think the quote was something like “they’re casting for a bunch of chareacters that no one cares about and purposefully leaving out the one that many people want to see? That’s smart.”

I’m not some marvel purist, if it works in the movie, it works.

Clarification – Gambit transfers energy through touch (ie. fingers), not his eyes.

Anyway, he is not known as a leader like Cyclops. I think he has more control over his power than, say, Cyclops or Rougue. Anyway, maybe he would fit in Wolverine as a young Weapon-X recruit training to control his powers in a short cameo.

Dude if you realy knew Gambit you would never say that.

I don’t know about you Jim, but Gambit’s description didn’t sound all that mind blowing. Basically another Cyclops.

And this character showing up in Wolverine is a major deal?

Cool! Thanks Panda!

Jim Carey -
Gambit has black and red eyes, and transmits energy through objects that basically makes them explode when thrown. He uses playing cards mostly. He’s known as a lady’s man and was Rogue’s love interest for a time. He is from Louisiana with a cajun accent.

I read a rumor that Singer considered having Gambit in X2 but decided not to since his power too similar to Cyclops(?)

If he’s in the movie, he’ll mostly likely have the black / red eyes and shuffle cards a lot. Probably won’t speak french though (based on how the movies have gone so far). His first appearance will probably be with some model-material under his arm.

Eh, I think I’ll just leave it as “Wolverine.” The title is a bit longish to put there and I think most people look for “Wolverine movie.”

And Steve, I just noticed this:

“Let’s hope they don’t violate Iron Man canon too much or I think this site will implode with all the posts.”

Hysterical.

Hey Vic, are you going to change the movie title (on the right side of the web page) to reflect the apparent name change?

By: Jim Carey

Jim Carey — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 04:38:29 +0000

Endri, thanks for the info about Yuriko and Sabretooth.

I stopped collecting X-Men a looong time ago, some time after the original (only) Starjammers story. Dave Cockrum is one of my all time favorite artists. I think John Byrne took over…I read some of his stories too. BUT, I know very little about Gambit. Without going all Wiki, would anyone like to give a thumbnail description for us laggers?

Thanks.

I suppose if I didn’t know soo much about Juggs, I would think he was cool as well. I still believe they missed a grand opportunity by not having Collosus fight Juggs.

Kyle, didn’t Maverick just oppose the agents of the Weapon X program? He would be a good addition to the movie.

So there’s Wolverine, Sabretooth, Silver Fox, John Wraith, and Deadpool in this movie. There’s only one major Weapon X guy missing: Maverick! I am hoping he’ll be in this. It was rumored someplace.

Panda, I consider my self an X-men fan.

Yet I’ve never heard of Gambit before…

I think you have to realise alot of us have no idea who your talking about.

Just fyi.

Um, I don’t think Exiles counts… but point taken: it’s a fictional universe and the creative forces can do whatever they want. I still believe that introducing Gambit smacks of effort to attract X-Men fans turned off by the last movie.

I just found out that Gambit was a part of Weapon X in the Exile series. If you go to thise place you wil see. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/Gambit023.jpg
