"Friday Night Lights" star Taylor Kitsch will play Gambit (AKA Remy LeBeau) in director Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Kitsch has signed a three-picture deal.
He'll be joining Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Danny Huston (William Stryker) and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox) in the 20th Century Fox release, opening May 1, 2009.
Leading up to the events of X-Men, "Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

meh Gambit is ok but his contant "cherie" phrasing became annoying ..kind of discouraging that they're skipping the whole Logan/Mariko thing and going for the far less complex and intellectually stimulating weapon X plot line
also not so sure about the director ..I mean he's made one hollywood film , which was released to mixed reviews and a film that wona an academy award for best foreign film ..seems to me he's his best when he has the creative reins ..since X-men is a franchise, I expect him to have little to no control
