X-Men Origins: Wolverine - First Look at Gambit

This weekend you can catch the very first full length trailer for the upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which will be showing before the sci-fi thriller The Day the Earth Stood Still. The Blot has no idea who will be featured in the film's upcoming trailer, but I am sure it will be action packed. In the meantime, here is your very first look at Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) as the Cajun mutant Gambit. Kitsch does a great job looking the part with Gambit’s trademark hair and purple wardrobe, but he is missing Remy LeBeau’s piercing red eyes. The Blot cannot wait to see how X-Men Origins: Wolverine pulls off Gambit’s exploding card trick.
