More Gambit? Taylor Kitsch Thinks So

Big news today for fans of the Marvel Universe and comic book movies in general. Staff at Rotten Tomatoes sat down with Taylor Kitsch, who recently played Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, to discuss the possibility of Gambit's return. Apparently, Kitsch was unaware that Fox has greenlit a sequel and expressed genuine excitement about where he could take his popular character if cast in Wolverine 2.

In response to hearing about the sequel, Kitsch states, "I hadn't heard that was going to happen! You have my brain going now about what I'd love to do with Gambit! I have the tools now to do some larger fights and I'd be really excited to get a chance to do that, too. I have so many ideas in my mind right now!"

While Fox has confirmed a sequel to Wolverine, there has been no official word if Gambit will be included in the cast of characters. Since the plot will allegedly focus on Wolverine's sojourn in Japan, it is unclear how Gambit will fit in with the larger story. However, with the recently announced Deadpool spin-off, there is still the potential that Gambit will get his own vehicle as well. He is an incredibly popular character among fans of the comics, although the small glimpse viewers got of him in the recent movie might not have been enough to pique interest in a stand-alone film. I definitely hope to see more of Gambit though, even if he lost the Cajun accent for Wolverine. If there is any further news about Gambit, you can be sure I'll post it here.
