Gambit, Gambit, Gambit... and Wolverine

[fajrdrako]

I am in a state of fangirl glee: I just saw the trailer for the coming Wolverine movie. And it features Gambit. It hints at X-Men. We get Sabretooth, of course. It shows a number of people I ought to know or guess - but I can't tell which one is Deadpool. Who is the vampire at the end?

I'll have to see it to know, of course. But... Gambit and Wolverine! Even if the rest of the movie is terrible, we'll get Gambit at last. And Wolverine too.

I guess I should read Wolverine: Origins before seeing this.

Who is it that says, "Don't worry, we'll get him?" Is that Deadpool? Doesn't sound like Deadpool...

Hah! Go me! I thought "Storm?" when I saw the child - ok, white hair, not so difficult... *g* Who does the movie? It's not Bryan Singer, is it? But it looked really cool. Definitly a to-watch!

I thought "Storm?" when I saw the child - ok, white hair, not so difficult... *g*

Yup! She has a very distinctive look. (I.e., gorgeous.) When Storm met Gambit in X-Men #266, she was regressed to the age of a child - about 9 years old, I think. Gambit helped her out.

Who does the movie? It's not Bryan Singer, is it?

No, and I'm rather relieved. I liked Bryan Singer in principle but I didn't like the way he handled action or characterization, and he minimized the women.

The director is Gavin Hood, whose work I don't know at all. The closest I come to having seen one of his movies is that I wanted to see Tsotsi but didn't.

The writer is David Benioff, whose work I don't know, but - this is interesting! - he's the one who is adapting The Game of Thrones for television. Cool.
