Well not just yet, but the word from Comic Book Movie is that they are looking at possibles right now and interviewing. I have to say that the picture does lend a lot to the likeness of Gambit.
There’s talk that Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (TV’s Elvis) is being cast as Gambit in the upcoming X-Men 3.
It’s reported that X3 director Matthew Vaughn has been interviewing actors for the role of the Cajun mutant with a penchant for gambling and womanizing.
The article from AICN in the previous post about the Watchmen talks a little about the studios suggesting alternate casting choices to the team behind another Superhero movie because the Internet folks would slate them. Now I’m all for us making a positive impact, but that’s just it, a positive impact, not just slamming someone because they’re not exactly the part and we can’t understand that the magic of cinema can make them look better.
So let’s see if we can judge Rhys-Meyers on his past acting credentials and suitability, rather than if he was born in an X-Men suit and handling exploding cards. Now who’s seen him onscreen?
