    If not Josh then who?

    What do you think the plot of the show would revolve around?

    @luffyduzumaki:  Well Josh is a little old i think for Gambit on a tv show. He looks great yeah but I'd go with the younger equally good-looking Ben Barnes

    Nikki Reed as Rogue. I think Reed has the right attitude, and can definitely be a convincing sweet but bad-ass Southern Belle.

    Melissa George as Candra, this character should definitely be included on a Gambit show

    I think it should be a squad co-lead by Rogue and Gambit being sent from utopia to do missions pertinent to the mutant community and for the big bad it can be Candra or Nathaniel Essex/ Mister Sinister. It can play off of the unresolved sexual tension between rogue and gambit (i.e Castle or Bones) but instead of police they're superheroes. I think it should be set in as close to Marvel Universe continuity that can be accomplished on television. For the squad i would have:  
     
    Gambit: As the big gun of the group
    Rogue: As gambit's love interest/ co-leader of the group
    Trance: As somewhat of an apprentice to rogue 
    Cypher or Danger: As mission control 
    And Karima Shapandar a.k.a. Omega Sentinel: as a governmental liaison and to keep the group in check

    Josh is too old now, but 10 years ago hell yes
     
    Nothing was wrong with Taylor Kitsch except he could have developed his accent more, he probably didn't worry about too much being he was in the movie for like 10 mins.

    He was cools for a cameo or few second, but for the main character you need something else.
    He was a good Gambit, but there is other guys that could do better.
    Matthew Bommer from White Collar looks the type, but the main problem is that he is makinga gambit style character.

    Man.....in another place, in another time, we must of been brothers, because once again, I had that same thought when I watched that White Collar show years ago
     
    I believe that Josh Halloway was approached to be Gambit in X3, be he refused because his "sawyer" charcter on Lost was a similar character. Like Bommer might
     
    Taylor Kitsch could probably carry a movie, he's great on Friday Night Lights, and be honest if people like Owen Wilson and Ryan Reynolds can carry a movie, I'm sure he could

    Actually there is a small cameo from Gambit, sduring a Magneto scene you could see a guy with a Bo sStaff, it looks actuallyhe and Omega Red were part of the original plot, until they decide to change it.
    I am a Deadpool fan and i belive the movie will be carry by Deadpool, not by Ryan, i mean, since the GL thing, i notice the love for Ryan is not enough to carry a movie.
    Actually i think Kitsch could be a better Eric Draven The Crow that a Gambit.
    Also is amazing to see White Collar, since thats pretty much Gambit, just without powers.
