On Gambit:
In this movie Gambit plays the role a little bit like Wolverine did in the first X-Men. He’s not part of any group, he’s not on anybody’s side. Wolverine gets him because he needs the information off him, but Gambit’s not going to give it – not without a fight. And they get a fight, the two of them get a fight. I’m really, really happy with the dynamic between the two.Fight scene? Sounds good. I'd love to see Wolverine and Gambit going at it on the big screen.
What about his thoughts on Deadpool?
"I have to be very careful how I talk about Deadpool, because it’s something I’m really excited about in the movie, where it plays and how it plays. I just can’t think right now how I can tell you about it without giving away some really cool ideas!***The things I’m thinking about now I don’t want to tell you because the fans will go “Awwww, that’s cool”… Actually some fans might be pissed off but that’s ok. I think they’ll understand why we did it. We took some creative licenses with him.""Creative licenses"? Uh oh. Hopefully the Deadpool fans won't be too upset. You just have to keep in mind that some things may not translate well on the big screen. Which is why Wolverine will (hopefully) never run around in his yellow and blue costume.
Any more future Wolverine movies?
"I’ve always harboured the Japanese story [Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's version of Wolverine]. When I was doing X-Men I was obsessed with reading the Japanese story. It gave me a lot of great inspiration for the character and I’ve forever been banging onto people about that. It’s the coolest – and can you imagine visually? I can see the comedy of him training with the Samurai. I can just see it working."Wolverine in Japan would rock. Let's hope that Mr. Jackman takes good care of his skin and ages well so we can continue to see him play Wolverine.
And don't forget the new trailer comes out today in theatres.
