Austin butler 


BashTheDj

Came here to say this! He would nail the accent and the swagger!


EmuIndependent8565

This right here.


[deleted]

Lol. He looks so fucking dopey. Like the MAD magazine guy.  Nobody ever accused Gambit of being too smart, but that guy looks like he wonders why his legs are wet and warm while pissing himself.


MrMeesesPieces

He does look like Alfred E. Neumann!


IllllIIllllIll

I don’t agree but the last part has me dying lmao


Administrative-Egg26

Have you seen him.act ? He's awesome.  


DrummerEmbarrassed21

Exactly, I don't get the hype for this guy.


MulberryEastern5010

YES!!!!!! Love him


Just-Journalist-678

Only because he looks exactly like he's a younger brother of Taylor Kitsch.


Administrative-Egg26

He doesn't at all... lol


Just-Journalist-678

Bro yes they do. [This Imgur post proves it perfectly ](https://imgur.com/gallery/g4S4tgx) (Austin on top and Taylor at the bottom)


Just-Journalist-678

Same nose. Same mouth. Same eyes. Same physique. Same dick. Just different ages


LastQueefofScotland

Hol' up


Just-Journalist-678

👀


Raisedbyweasels

Other than mouth which is similar, literally everything else you listed is different. They could perhaps portray brothers, but they do not look alike other than they're white men. You're blind.


FadeIntoTheM1st

Lol


WhatUDeserve

My only complaint is that's thinking in terms of the Fox X-Men where everyone is an adult. Ideally I'd like to follow a group of teens into adulthood. I personally think ~30+ aged mutants should be super rare and should have easily explained reasons for being unheard of previously. That doesn't rule out an adult Gambit, but I feel like it makes it a bit harder to pull off without just shoehorning him into a story like in Origins. The Fox X-Men movie franchise spans 2 decades and a reboot. Unless Marvel wants to deal with a reboot or otherwise just isn't interested in making as much money as possible for as long as possible, they should start young. Opposed to something like the Avengers, the X-Men are really an ever changing team, and Xaviers school is constantly getting new kids, I could see a young Gambit being a teen constantly in trouble with the law before being sent to the school, in like the 3rd movie.


Yellowpickle23

I so think Taylor got robbed. He has sooo much potential with the right production team.


ThePocketTaco2

Fingers crossed for Deadpool and Wolverine


StevieKix_

That would be so cool


altdultosaurs

Same. I’d like to still see him get a real try.


Unlucky_Decision4138

I really liked him from the Origins movie. He got screwed


AmbassadorProper1045

He deserved better for real.


Acall90

Ian Somerhalder, dude straight up looks the part and was born in Louisiana and is half Cajun


SpinX225

Too old, he’s like 45 now.


Enigma1885

He could play older gambit , after all we have Ryan being older Deadpool , and jackman still being wolverine .

>Avan Jogia no thanks, he already ruined one of my favorite characters (Leon Kennedy)


evil_DR_3037

Josh Holloway when he was in lost


Woburn2012

We were all robbed of this at the time. Such a waste of the perfect possible casting.


cnskatefool

It’s honestly him in gambit’s character. Southern accent, pet names, distrust. We didn’t get robbed, we got accidentally gifted a great gambit portrayal in live action.


Woburn2012

I prefer your perspective 🫡


LaylaLegion

Regé Jean-Page.

Austin Butler.

Austin Butler for sure!


desperado512

Austin Butler


Wolfheron325

After how he pulled off Elvis, I feel like he could pull off a Cajun accent.


unzercharlie

And then he'd just talk like that forever.


[deleted]

Taylor Kitsch still for me


joescott2176

Wallpaper went out in the 80s.


groundsgonesour

Since Norman Reedus is now too old, Austin Butler.


Acknowledge_Me_

Reedus would have been a cool casting in Logan as a surviving mutant

Tuloom

Rip Gaspard Ulliel because he would've been my choice, perfect eyes perfect accent


AmbassadorProper1045

He was my choice too! I had hoped for years he'd get the role. Then his unfortunate accident happened. So sad.


[deleted]

Michael Raymond-James, did a fantastic cajun accent in True Blood


comicsandpoppunk

True Blood started 16 years ago. The guy's 46 years old.


[deleted]

So what, Remy's combat skills are H2H, staff, and hurling exploding cards. Plus, what the hell is 46 compared to the ages of Denzel, Keanu, and Odinkirk, who were all badass action stars.


comicsandpoppunk

I'm not saying that 46 is too old to play an action role, but Denzel, Keanu and Odenkirk play appropriately aged characters. Gambit is canonically in his 20s, and the top choice for Rogue in this sub when that question was last asked was someone almost seventeen years his junior. Literally a child when True Blood started.


Abject-Star-4881

Alden Ehrenreich


Misty_Dawn20

Austin Butler


twpeak79

Taraji P Henson

I'd really wanted Betty White before her unfortunate passing but Henson is an absolutely inspired choice!

Austin Butler, if he can pull off the Elvis accent no doubt he can figure out Cajun

Dense_Marketing4593

LaKeith Stanfield


peanutsinspace82

Gene Hackman


wsc4string

Rather see him as Bishop


Dense_Marketing4593

Hmmmm. I see Bishop as a character that needs to be a bit wider build, maybe John Boyega or Jamie Foxx. I could even see Channing Tatum as a solid Bishop.


wsc4string

Jamie Foxx is a bit old, but those other 2 would be good


Dense_Marketing4593

Yea. That was the only thing going against Jamie for me. He’s only got a few years left until he casted as an Elder in stuff.


Decent-Membership669

The only real choice for Remy is Theo Von!!


Ozzdo

Glen Powell is so annoyingly attractive, he would make a great Gambit based on that alone.


flickfan45

i think he’s better suited for Cyclops for the X-men


Raisedbyweasels

He looks like every other typical jock douche.


Icaughtkillin

Taylor Kitsch. I don’t think he got a fair try as origins wolverines was horrendous


Muted-Friendship90

Taylor Kitsch is still the original for me

Austin Butler, liked him in Elvis despite the movie not being that good, and really like him in the new Masters of the Air show

Only Channing 😭


AmbassadorProper1045

I DO NOT want Channing Tatum to massacre my favorite X Man! It's nice he's a fan too, but he is simply too old, too bulky, round faced, and not a good enough actor. I can get behind Austin Butler and another Austin- Austin North, another choice for me would be Lucas Till they just need darker hair for the role.


Substantial-Range483

Josh Holloway or Joe Keery

Internal_Gur_4268

Corey Feldman


nerdlygames

Boyd Holbrook


rogerworkman623

He’s probably a bit older than what they’d want now, but Shane West is talented, a good looking guy, and he’s actually from Baton Rouge (and of Cajun descent). He still looks good too, I think he’d pull it off if they wanted a Gambit who’s closer to middle age. And I sort of feel like Gambit should be a bit older- he has a history before he joins the X-men as this master thief with contacts around the world. That doesn’t sound like a 20-something to me.

I just saw The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan and I completely agree with this!


Chemical_Gold6120

Keenu Reeves


EmuIndependent8565

Too old now.


Chemical_Gold6120

Didn’t look that old in John Wick 4


EmuIndependent8565

He is literally 1 year away from being 60 years old. The actor playing Gambit should be young and athletic.


Useful-Hat9880

He def looked too old to play Gambit.


micahclaw

Yeah he did


Aliteralhedgehog

I don't think he could do the accent but I'd be willing to see him try


Ok_Concentrate_75

If they want to do an older X men to pair with Hugh's wolvy, Harry Connick Jr might be cool considering he already has the accent and does jazz and could probably naturally pull off the card playing womanizer. or James Landry Hébert who played Wade from 1883. Younger , I'd say either Philip Daniel Bolden the kid from "Are we there yet?" Or David Lambert from the Fosters. I just personally don't want to hear a false Louisiana accent, I enjoy when they take the time to find authentic accents.

Having been forced to watch True Detective, and looking at pic #3, I don’t know why I can kind of see Matthew McConaughey pulling it off. Maybe not as young as they’d want, but.

\#1. Taylor Kitcsh, so he can be in an X-men movie that isn't atrocious. \#2. Skeet Ulrich. Ideally we'd get a time machine and grab him right after he does the first Scream movie. \#3. Austin Butler.

I know he is in his 40s, but I think Justin Hartley could have nailed it. Today, I’d go with a different but buzz worthy name… Glen Powell. https://preview.redd.it/bfqnuef6g6ic1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9d5d296c46c7bc3ef0e26c08f3b2f674923b857


ChartreuseF1re

Adam Sandler as the waterboy as Gambit


WhatUDeserve

With how they're slow-rolling the mutants, I think it's a good idea to look at the younger side of Hollywood. If Aramis Knight didn't already play Red Dagger in Ms Marvel I'd say him, but hey getting recast in the MCU isn't necessarily anything new.
