Taylor Kitsch on the Future of Gambit

RottenTomatoes caught up with actor Taylor Kitsch, who played Gambit in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," to discuss the future of the character. Apparently Kitsch has not heard that a sequel has been greenlit, but is excited to reprise his role.

"I hadn't heard that was going to happen. You have my brain going now about what I'd love to do with Gambit," he said. "I'm just excited to go deeper into Gambit. It's a flattering thing when people say that the only sh*tty part about the character is we didn't see enough of him. If that's the case, bring it on. I want to go deep into Gambit."

He continued: "He has so many more colors to explore. I want to go dark with that cat. There are so many things I want people to see of him and he really is his own deal. In 'Wolverine' he was very much moving the story along. If I can have some moments where you go deeper into Gambit's back-story and why he was the way he was at that poker table - that's a fun thing to explore."

Currently, it looks like Gambit will not appear in the "Wolverine" sequel, since Hugh Jackman wants to focus on the character's time in Japan during World War II. However, 20th Century Fox has been planning for Gambit and Deadpool to get their own spin-offs, and a Deadpool movie has already been announced. So it's just a matter of time for Gambit.
