I'm not pleased with their choice for Gambit. They've been promising Gambit for the last 2 movies, and now I finally get to see one of my favourite x-men on screen and it's not at all what I imagined. I'll wait to see his acting, and hear his accent (better have a damn accent) before I judge any further.

The Gambit guy looks ok, if not a little young for the role...I suppose it's an origin thing though.
Not sure how they'll tie it in.

I think Liev Schreiber is a great choice (victor creed, right?), he's bigger than Jackman and just looks...creepy enough...will probably have had to bulk up since last time I saw him though, a big guy he is, but not sabertooth big. Guys gotta be able to smack wolverine around a bit, that's his thing. The psycho looking factor will work.

I don't like Reynolds...although Smokin' Aces showed he can act when called upon.
Playing deadpool isn't that bad a choice, I mean who better to play the character that cant "turn it off"? At least I won't have to SEE him much.

Its Ryan Reynolds. Even though you aren't supposed to see his face, you can bet they wont let someone as quote-unquote "hot" as him keep a mask on for the whole movie.

Women love him...look what they did to Venom? If Topher Grace doesn't get to cover his face, there's no chance in hell Reynolds will be covered up.

Yeah, but past the "origin" event, I doubt we'll be seeing too much of his face...

I am also not pleased. Gambit was my favorite on the X-Men cartoon growing up and I used to think he was so hot. This guy looks like a total loser and is just not the sexy Cajun I remember. :mad:

I didnt like Reynolds at first - but i have to admit he's grown on me.

i went from hating Blade 3 because of him - to thinking he's the only good thing about Blade 3.


My kid is playing an xbox360 game - some kind of marvel allience thing ... and he keeps saying Deadpool is funny - always saying funny stuff (like a smart ass) sounds like Reynolds to me .. and the guy has a very athletic physique.

personally i have no idea who Deadpool is ... i stopped with the comics before he came into being.

Deadpool - Another memory impaired former mercenary/weapon x project (like wolverine), signed up 'cos he was dying of some kind've cancer or another, they ended up curing him, training him, giving him the ability to heal (maybe not quite as fast as wolverine, bit more skilled in weapons) but due to the fact his cellular structure is now constantly in flux, his "skin" basically looks fucked, hence the mask.
Started out as a kind've mislead villain in an x-men spinoff called x-force although I'm not sure if that was his first appearance...kind've gradually turned over a new leaf probably on account of being obsessed with one of the xf girls, and went from "bad guy" to "sometimes thorn in the side" to "neutral guy/freelance mercenary".
Oh, and he's fucked in the head, literally, didn't quite mentally get through the weapon x thing...

I wasn't too psyched about Taylor Kitsch as Gambit either... until I saw the first picture. He looks perfect. I'm cringing about the accent though. It's an accent the even the most skilled actors get wrong most of the time, so we'll just have to see.

Was psyched about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool as well (I must be the only person who actually likes the guy). He's got the body, the stupid humor and wisecracks that just never let up, the body, and even though he's a pretty boy, the question is moot, since, as cheeba pointed out, in the comics, Deadpool's face is horrifically scarred and all fucked up. I'm crossing my fingers the movie won't be though.

Blech... Topher Grace as Venom was a horrible choice from the get-go. Getting this scrawny kid to play the butch Eddie Brock (which in all fairness, we do see a bit of in the comics), was just a sacrilege. :mad:

Well, if his own origin story comes into it as well, he'll START looking pretty normal...but yeah, if they don't fuck up his face but good, it'll actually be a pretty big "nono" for his character.
