ambit's known for his sense of humor, and we wouldn't want the Gambit Group to be any different. Check back every two weeks for a different FUN STUFF section.

 

WHO D'YOU LOVE, CHERE?

Fox executives love to mess with fan's heads. First there was no plan to have Gambit in any of the three X-Men movies, then he was a shoo-in for X-2, the X-Men sequel, then Bryan Singer was struck a sharp blow to the head and said Gambit was too much like Wolverine to make his appearance in the movie practical. After the numerous death threats from fangirls around the globe, Singer recanted that statement, only to announce a few weeks later that they were dropping the Ragin' Cajun in favor of a certain fuzzy elf. As of now the Cajun's appearance remains a topic of debate and rumor, but we at Next X know you'll want to be ready to pick your actor, should Bryan and the fine people at Fox come down from whatever they're smoking. Below are the top thespians (fancy word for overpaid pretty boys) picked by the fans to portray Gambit. Scary, neh?

 

BRAD RENFRO	CHRIS POTTER	CHRISTIAN KANE	FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
Here's a Millennial Vision for you...Gambit as a baby-faced lad in a Members-Only jacket.	Give it up, people...he's the voice of Gambit. Too bad he seems to have stolen Rogue's hairdo.	Keep smiling, Christian. Hopefully you'll frighten away any casting directors who were considering you for the part.	Freddie reportedly turned down a part in X-2. We can all be thankful we won't be treated to another rendition of She's All Dat.

 

HARRY CONNICK JR.	HEATH LEDGER	JARED LETO	JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME
Listen up, y'all. Saying New Orleans native = Gambit is like saying Mel Gibson = real Australian.	Heath Ledger is reportedly blind and deaf people's top choice for Gambit.	Jared has it all: the hair, the eyes, the stubble...and Sarah Michelle Gellar's nose.	"Bonjour, my name is Cable...I mean Gambit...merde."

 

JOHNNY DEPP	KEANU REEVES	LASH LeROUX	SCOTT CAAN
If they gotta cast a known actor, here's Next X's choice. He's got the hair, the eyes, the face, and Johnny's a mean one on the accents.	He has the look...but unfortunately Gambit isn't a thirty-something stoner.	Mr. LeRoux is a pro wrestler, so at least he won't have a problem with wearing pink tights...	A few months ago, there was a rumor floating around the movie sites that our man Scott had been tapped to play Gambit. What were they smoking, and where can we get some?

 

ROY DUPUIS	?
Appearing tonight...Jay Leno as Gambit.	The everpopular unknown actor. It worked for Wolverine, and Next X's humble opinion is that Fox should get a clue and repeat their success.
