Gambit in "Wolverine: Origins"

A scooper on the SHH forum confirmed that Gambit will appear in the Wolverine film.

Scooper ‘Chaos Bringer’ has revealed on Superhero Hype!’s message
boards that “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.

I’m unfamilar with the actor, but at least Gambit is finally going to be in
an X-Men movie of sorts.

With the “three picture deal”, it looks like their going to do a franchise. Hope the description isn’t a bunch of fluff.
