That's the QB from Friday Night Lights I think. Make him a little scruffy and a bit dirty and he's Gambit. Good choice for the look. To bad his acting on FNLs was horrible, but then that whole show was. lol

Wolverine Movie Is Being Toyed With?
Article by Frank Movsesian 08.19.2008
Director Gavid Hood has a vision for the upcoming Wolverine movie. Apparently, FOX's head honcho feels that vision should be altered. According to Hollywood Elsewhere, Tom Rothman (FOX's big kahuna), has begun enforcing his own sense of creativity to the Wolverine movie that is slated to debut next year.
I can only imagine how Gavin must be feeling right now. To us fans, this seems like The Punisher chaos is happening all over again. Why do Hollywood big-wigs feel like they know what a movie should look like, if Directors have proven time and time again they are responsible for the success of a film in the long run. The person who's reaping all the benefits right now from TDK's success? Christopher Nolan. Not Bale. Not Ledger. Not the WB big-wigs. Its Christopher Nolan. I only have one question for you Tom: If you know what you're doing, why aren't you the Director?
Obviously this all probably sounds ignorant on my part, being the "journalist" in this situation. But let's think of it from the POV of the fans who want to see this movie. They have absolutely no idea who Tom Rothman is or what his connection to the Wolverine movie will be. But when the credits roll and they finally get to see the movie, they'll know who Gavid Hood is. These are the perspectives, Hollywood big-wigs seem to forget at times. It's frustrating and very ^^^^ing annoying.

well, I hope that either medicom or Hot Toys come out with a 1:6th scasle version of Gambit, before have to resort to trying to make one myself.
I was hoping they would cast someone that looked more like Jim Lee's Gambit.
Movie of 09' for me

I can't wait till this movie comes out. I hope they make it a PG-13 or rated R movie. I just want to see Wolverine kicks some serious butt in this movie.

this is based on the lousy X-Men movies, so i have really low expectations for it.
they should've just done a reboot like Marvel Studios have been making recently. (Incredible Hulk, Punisher War Zone, etc)
and why the hell is Blob in this?

Producer Lauren Shuler Donner Teases Wolverine... and Deadpool?
Source:Scott Huver
October 8, 2008
The secrets behind the origins of Marvel Comics' most popular mutant Wolverine remained murky and mysterious in the comic books for decades, and the filmmakers behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine have also been working furiously to keep the curtain drawn on Logan's cinematic beginnings before the movie bows next May.
But ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! had a red carpet encounter with the film's producer, Lauren Shuler Donner (who also oversaw the "X-Men" films as well as a diverse assortment of features, from Pretty in Pink to Free Willy to You've Got Mail to the upcoming The Secret Life of Bees), and with a minor pop of the claws in her direction she gave up a few details on Logan's first solo outing on the big screen – and a possible spin-off for the "Merc with a Mouth," Deadpool.
CS/SHH!: What's the latest you can tell us about "Wolverine"?
Lauren Schuler Donner: May 1st, 2009! I guess it's closer to the first "X-Men" in tone because it's a little darker, but there's a lot of action. It's his origin story. It's really good. I've been in the editing room the last couple of weeks and I think that it's good and that audiences are going to like it. But it's a little darker.
CS/SHH!: How is Hugh Jackman's interpretation of the character different or new, compared to what we've seen in the "X-Men" films?
Schuler Donner: Well, you haven't seen this side of him. It's darker and sadder and it's kick-ass. There's a ton of action. It's really kick-ass.
CS/SHH!: How was working with Gavin Hood as the director?
Schuler Donner: It was fun. It was good. I like taking someone out of the indie world and bringing someone into the action world because it grounds the movie. It gives it a reality. It gives it an emotional core, and then you can have as much fun and action in it as you want.
CS/SHH!: This was Gavin's first time playing with really big cinematic toys. Was there a learning curve on that for him?
Schuler Donner: Yeah. He had a learning curve, but the thing basically for the director, honestly, it's sort of like, "Here's what I want..." and then the visual FX guys create that. Then it's like, "No. I want it more like this or like that." A director doesn't have to know how to do it. They have to know about lighting and shooting someone against green screen and that sort of stuff, but in terms of actually creating it, we do that.
CS/SHH!: And Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool.
Schuler Donner: Yes. Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool... he plays Wade Wilson.
CS/SHH!: Is that in hopes of a "Deadpool" spin-off film?
Schuler Donner: I hope so. I really hope so. He's so good at it.
CS/SHH!: Are there any comic book storylines in particular that the movie is drawing from?
Schuler Donner: There's an "X-Men: Origins" that some of it is pulled from, and then it's sort of an amalgamation of some of them. But "X-Men: Origins" sort of goes back into his young, young past, and we started there. [Note: Schuler Donner is referring to the 2001 Origin miniseries by Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada, Paul Jenkins, Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove].
CS/SHH!: And is the Stan Lee cameo obligatory at this point, even though he didn't personally create Wolverine?
Schuler Donner: Well, we shot in Australia, and so we don't have a Stan.
CS/SHH!: Oh no... Maybe he can get placed in the background digitally?
Schuler Donner: Yeah, I know. Oh, you know what, we're doing some additional shooting in January and that's a good idea. I love Stan!
CS/SHH!: And on a personal note... you're about to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
Schuler Donner: Yes, I am. I'm so excited.
CS/SHH!: What's it like getting THAT phone call?
Schuler Donner: I was literally jumping up and down. I'm from Ohio and who gets a star, really?
CS/SHH!: You expect people in your movies to get them, but...
Schuler Donner: Oh, of course. I went to Halle Berry's and that was cool, but me? It's great. And my husband ["Superman" director Richard Donner] is getting one and they're going to be next to each other. It's so great. I'm so excited.

same.
i think i saw the same clip as the one you are talking about..yeah it was pretty bad
"There's a scene in the first X-Men movie," said Jackman, "where Wolverine's introduced in a bar, fighting in a cage, and you felt that he did this every night of his life. If this movie is successful, you should feel that this guy can walk straight off the end of this film and into that bar. "
