Meet Gambit, and Deadpool..

Well, here is some new casting info for Wolverine. We will finally get Gambit who has been MIA in the X-Men movies from the beginning. We will also get Deadpool.

Taylor Kitsch(The Covenant, Friday Night Lights)Â   will be playing Gambit, and Ryan Reynolds bringing the reigns of Deadpool.

Here is the lowdown on Deadpool from wikipedia:

“Nicknamed the “Merc with a Mouth”, Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black humor, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men’s Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government’s paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative “healing factor” extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable.”

and if you dont already know, here is what Gambit is all about:

“A mutant, Gambit possesses the ability to manipulate kinetic energy as well as limited hypnosis.[citation needed] He is also skilled in card throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a BÃ… .

A professional thief, few X-Men trusted Gambit when he first joined the group, a source of stress between him and his longtime on and off again love interest Rogue. This was exacerbated when his connections to villain Mister Sinister were revealed, although some of his team members accept that Gambit honestly seeks redemption.”

i like these casting choices.
