Hugh Jackman talks about Gambit and Deadpool characters in Wolverine spin-off
Jul 28, 08

ACTOR Hugh Jackman has revealed details of two of the new characters who will appear in next year's Wolverine spin-off from the X-Men movies.

Jackman, who plays the metal-clawed mutant Wolverine, spoke to Splash Page about two of the other characters to appear in the film - Gambit, who has the power to charge objects with explosive energy, and is played by Taylor Kitsch; and Deadpool, who has an artificial healing power derived from Wolverine's own similar ability, and is played by Ryan Reynolds.

The image above shows Reynolds and the Deadpool comicbook version - images in a teaser trailer show the 31-year-old actor dressed as the character, but without the mask.

Jackman said about Ryan's role as Deadpool: "We were so thrilled to get Ryan. He's the greatest guy. Incredibly funny. He plays Deadpool, the merc with a mouth. Not an easy guy to play. He's always jabbering. He's always going. Physically he's in unbelievable shape and yet he's also got that comedic ability. There are only a handful of actors that can do that."

And on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Jackman said: "I can say it. He's sexy, right? He's a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He's a little bit of a wise guy. He's an outsider. He's got some issues himself. He's mischievous. He's cheeky. He's a bit of a badass.

"We have a really great fight sequence. Physically that guy is an animal. He was chucking himself around on the concrete. He has that passion that I remember having when I first did Wolverine. There was no way a stunt double was doing anything for him."

An early teaser trailer for the movie, out next May, was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, and was the first sighting of the mutant Emma Frost, a telepath who can also transform her flesh into a super-hard diamond form.

How so? Just the outward characteristics of him in Blade Trinity? He was a different person altogether from Deadpool if we are getting specific. I think he can pull it off and do a fine job. Introducing Gambit in this movie doesn't make sense to me seeing as how this is an origin movie. Unless its going to be told through flashbacks (sorry if that was stated somewhere already I just recently started following Wolverine). How many of these Origins flick do you all expect to come out before we see an X-Men 4 hit screens?

Magneto is supposed to be the next one, that probably won't come til 2010-2011. By the time that's released who knows if any of the actors would even want to do X-Men 4. They might not have a choice but to do more origins and add new characters.

This is a prequel as is Magneto and apparently the third origins film is being rumored to be X-Men: First Class, focusing on the original five members (even though they clusterfucked that premise by making Angel a 20 year old douche in X-Men 3)

Magneto is supposed to be the next one but Goyer (The same guy who wrote the original treatments for BB and TDK) said he might put that project behind his Invisible Man remake not to mention he has been dicking around with The Flash for years...

It can't be considered a reboot even in that sense. Lauren Donner wants these all connected directly even saying that things that occurred in X-Men 1-3 might have their explanations and precursors here. I would look for it to be in the same vein as X-Men 2 most likely though in terms of what is on screen

It doesn't look great, which is weird, because Benioff is a great writer and Gavin Hood looks like a very strong film-maker.

Hopefully Reynolds wears the mask or gets burnt or something, he is way too pretty to be Wade Wilson.

Ummm...before he went into the Weapon X program, his face was fine. It was the processes that he went through at Weapon X, and how they reacted to his cancer that fucked his face up.

08-21-2008, 04:42 PM

Fucking Fox...

http://joblo.com/newsimages1/0820wolverine.jpgIt's a story that could have been written for the past two or three months - there's trouble on the set of X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE (http://joblo.com/upcomingmovies/movies.php?id=3007). It's something that hasn't been a well-kept secret as a lot of us in the web world have heard the rumors from down under. But now Hollywood Elsewhere is reporting on a specific instance to backup the rumors of Fox's unhappiness with the film. The report claims Fox head Tom Rothman is using his powers to override the word of director Gavin Hood. It seems Fox and Rothman aren't exactly happy with the WOLVERINE movie. While that might initially bum you out, their unhappiness with the film is a good thing. Fox has reportedly been very unhappy with the "dark" tone of the film and is actively working to try and make it more "family friendly." Right, because that worked so well with FANTASTIC FOUR...
Hollywood Elsewhere says that Hood left the set for a brief period of time only to return and see a large set for the film had been completely repainted to make it brighter and give it less of a dark and somber vibe. I would think that with the success of THE DARK KNIGHT and the Comic-Con footage (which featured Wolverine telling Sabretooth he was going to rip his "goddamn head" off), that they might opt for a darker feel. Now keep in mind that rumors of turmoil between Fox and Hood have been swirling for some time now and this is just one of the first leaked incidents to support those rumors. I'm sure as the project continues through editing and post-production we'll hear even more. Hopefully Fox will invite a few select journalists to some kind of pow-wow with Hood (perhaps in the edit bay) to help straighten all this out...

Every picture I've seen makes me think this might actually be good. Don't know what you're blabbering about.

I'm still worried the fan-boy in me might have problems with Sabertooth. He's supposed to be huge. Liev is a great actor, and I think will be great in the movie...but he isn't huge. But I have no problems with the Gambit shot, any exterior shot I've seen, or the fuzzy quick glimpse of Deadpool.

I saw this yesterday and I have issues with it. It starts in the eyes area and ends in the fact Gambit is not a part of Wolverine's back story.

Take the caption out of the picture and you would not have known it was supposed to be a picture of Gambit.

I can't wait until Marvel gets the X-Men back.

12-02-2008, 11:16 AM

Isn't the whole thing about being a mutant is trying to fit in? Not stand out?

Now the "Gambit not being in Logan's past" thing I agree with. But it's still photo of the dude playing cards. You can't really tell shit from it.

And his eyes...give me a break. They weren't going to make his eyes completely black with red centers. Ever. Maybe they do that when he starts to charge shit up in the movie?

Like I said...you really can't tell. Hopefully we will get a better look next week when the trailer hits.

And Mike, if nobody else can draw conclusions from that one picture of Gambit, then why are you jumping to the conclusion that everybody should get over it and that he "definitely" won't have the red eyes? They could easily add those in post, or he could get them at the end of the movie. Don't get all Fanboy PR until you actually see the film.

War and POW scenes should be pretty good. Thing is I'm just not that interested in the Weapon X area of Wolverine lore, I'd much rather see a Patch type storyline, but I guess it is an origin movie. But I'm in the same boat as everyone else with being pissed off about the mutants they're throwing in. I watched the first season of Friday Night Lights and the dude playing Gambit was actually pretty sweet, and could probably do the role really well in 5 years, but he just seems way too young right now. They have Emma Frost due for a role in the film which also makes no sense. The picture of Deadpool is just Ryan Reynolds with a red tank top on waving swords, he better get disfigured and wear the mask.

I've been let down by all of the X Men films so far aside from some really cool stuff in X2 so I can't get too excited about this.

12-02-2008, 01:19 PM

The eyes is part of his character and back story. He never had normal eyes. Did they make Logan have claws and smoke cigars? Did Storm have white hair? Did Rogue have a white streak in her hair?

Just saying if you are going to use a guy thats not even supposed to be there you might as well do it right.

I don't agree with you. If you enjoyed any of the X-Men movies you can obviously see they changed shit around a bunch.

Like Rouge not being able to fly or be super strong (granted they never brought up her sucking Ms. Marvel to death) Or Storm having an accent (she did in part one but by 2 & 3 it was gone) Or Nightcrawler being Mystiques son? When did Rogue ever really date Iceman? Angel wasn't one of the orignal X-Men? I could go on and on...

And the movies worked just fine.

So who really gives a shit about some eyes?

And you didn't bold the part that I said it really wouldn't surprise me to have his eyes glow while he is charging up or something. Kinda like what happened to Storm's eyes when she was doing the weather thing.

But they won't make his eyes all black with red pupils for the whole movie. It would look pretty fucking stupid. Even if they don't do it at all...it's eyes. Who fucking cares.

Rogue was more of an origin story. Halle Berry did have an accent like you said but she could not pull it off. X2 didn't have time to get into Nightcrawlers whole story.

I understand changing some things. Like leather instead of spandex. But Mystique and Nightcrawler had the correct eyes. Why not Gambit?

Why not just have Professor X walking around the whole time?

Fox doesnt learn its lessons, and doesnt look to make movies good per se, but rather 'good enough to earn a quick return for opening weekend and then as a future lazy sunday rental after the dvd release'.

Thats how they did xmen 3, its how they did the Fantastic Four movies, hell, its how they did the AVP movies. They dont give a shit about quality. If they did, they wouldnt have worked to bury movies like Fight Club and Idiocracy.

Genius

12-02-2008, 09:14 PM

If Fox wanted to make a good movie, they should just film a montage of Wolverine gutting Gambit 300 different times. I would pay to see that at least four times. And would support its Oscar nomination.

what are people saying about the little kid in the trailer who had claws? It was towards the end, he was in a mansion, and jumped at a guy with claws extended (couldn't tell if they were metal) and stabbed the guy. Is that supposed to be wolvie? You think he will have claws before getting the adamantium? I know marvel has had him with bone claws, but it was always retarded to me

I think Marvel's latest take on it is that the claws are part of his mutation and all that weapon X did was give him the adamantium.

Although now that I'm typing this and thinking about it, doesn't Stryker say that he gave him claws in the second x-men movie?

It's cool to see they put in so many mutant cameos (looks like little Storm in the trailer). I think a lot of fans expected more of that in the other movies but were a little disappointed.

Although now that I'm typing this and thinking about it, doesn't Stryker say that he gave him claws in the second x-men movie?He did say something to that effect, and it's odd it was in the movie seeing as how the "Origin" series wrapped prior to X2's release.

Just a continuity error. Just because the Origins series wrapped before X2 did doesn't mean they were using it as source material.

This is my problem with making movies like this "family-friendly." Any punk ass kid going to see this movie wasn't around when it was cool to trade marvel cards, watch the X-men tv show, or collect X-Men or Wolverine comic books. They'd rather watch whateverthefuck garbage is on Cartoon Network today...or whatever kids watch now. So, however they make this movie is what kids will identify with. For that reason, I say fuck the little kids.

I'm under the impression that the people who want to see this movie dark and close to the story line are aging dorks AND the target audience for the movie. (Or at least should be) I still think Wolvie is the most badass and gritty out of all comic book characters. (If not at least X-men) I hope they don't blow this. Then again, I'm just a whiny aging dork. Start milking the cash cow, Fox....

Thank Christopher Nolan for that... One director managed to do it correctly (batman begins), and now every studio thinks they can fucking do it for every character.. some characters can't have origins done properly..

Ive said this for years. Its because prequels fit some marketability equation production studios factor in when determining 'what will get more watchers, sequel, spinoff or prequel'.

I fucking hate prequels alltogether. Its the lazy way of not expanding a story out of fear of fucking the story up further (which doesnt work, as can be shown by the Star Wars prequels, or Star Trek Enterprise).

Hope you BSG fans loved your show, because its already in line for a prequel series.

Two questions:

1) The first link Will-Kill posted (the zshare.net one) is only 50 minutes long. Is that all the movie that they have out?

2) Celt...about Deadpool. Did they rape it because he doesn't act like Wad Wilson...or he doesn't act like "Deadpool"??? I read an interview with Ryan about how it's an origin, so the Deadpool in the movie isn't the Deadpool we all know and love.

I mean, we shouldn't be pissed since Deadpool is a secondary character in this movie, and they've been raping characters for a while now.

Also, no ass-to-ass with Gambit and Wolvie with Gambit's staff in the middle? That was disappointing.

It was not as bad as I expected, actually. Agree in the league of Spider-Man 3. Hope the re-shoots, completed effects, and score make it better.

However, there are some things that just have to be edited out completely to really improve it.

Don't want to spoil it for anyone but suffice to say the whole Wolverine girlfriend storyline needs work in my opinion. Especially some of the later stuff.

Also the boxing scene. Come fucking on.

I hope the extra 30 mins or so they shot goes straight into the start of the film, specifically more detail on strykers mutant squad.

As for the whole deadpool thing it didnt bother me. Then again all I know of X-Men is the cartoon series from the 90's. Is it as bad as they messed up Venom in Spidey 3?

They really didn't "mess up" Venom. The way he was portrayed was halfway accurate...they just didn't give him enough time.

In this movie, Deadpool has even less screentime than Venom. His origin is fucked up, his character is fucked up, then they go and fuck his character up so god damn bad that he will offically never be able to be on the big screen, unless they cast someone completely different and reboot it...which would suck because Reynolds really would be the perfect WW.

LOS ANGELES – "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" isn't due in theaters until next month, but the prequel has already hacked its way online.A high-quality, full-length work print of the 20th Century Fox film appeared online Tuesday evening. The studio said it had the file removed, but copies quickly propagated and continue to appear on several file-sharing Web sites.The movie focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman's clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine and is set for a May 1 release.Fox vowed in a statement Wednesday that the source of the "stolen, incomplete and early version" of the movie would be prosecuted and said the FBI and MPAA are investigating. The studio also insisted that the version of the film posted online was "was without many effects, had missing and unedited scenes and temporary sound and music."

Thank god I saw it for free and didn't waste my money on it. Even without the Deadpool fiasco, it was a shitty film. Also, I like my films free of Will.I.Am.

It isn't like half of the fucking world hasn't already seen an almost finished version anyways.

Apparently it WAS the finished (as in 99.8183% finished) version - FOX lied, I know I'm stunned too.

I think it'll still hit $80 million + opening weekend. Box Office is red hot right now and the general public isn't as aware of the leak/bad early word as the internet folk are.

Then again, I haven't seen a lot of hype for this movie in general.

Most major movies have a bazillion leaders and teases and trailers and previews and whatever else before the release. I know that I'm no TMJ, but the even existence of this movie in general almost snuck up on me.

Fans come out in droves for Harry Potter, or Iron Man, or Twilight or Spiderman... why? Because the movie is advertised. I haven't seen anything about this movie anywhere.

X-Men 2, X-Men 3, they were advertised all over the place. This? Nothing.

It's going to be a weak showing, and it damn well should be, and once Trek is released, it's only going to get worse.

You must be fucking blind as shit, dude. There's like two TV spots during every commercial break, Wolverine Got Milk ads plastered on every magazine out there, and I just got back from 7/11 where I could have purchased a Wolverine Slushie. They've been whoring the fuck out of this piece of shit.

There is a new Wolverine style/flavor slushie? I am both intrigued and repulsed by that. I love a cool refreshing slushie on a nice warm day but I always associate Wolverine as being a short extremely hairy killing machine. That is pretty savvy of the marketing team for Wolverine though. The slushie crowd is a powerful group and we are many.

I still dont get why people think Star Trek will open so big. Reboots make some money after opening weekend with good word of mouth. I can see Star Trek's opening weekend #'s making half of what Wolverine does. Batman Begins, Casino Royal, Superman Returns all had very sub par opening weekends when compared to summer blockbusters. Plus, it wasnt like previous Star Trek movies did amazing box office numbers.

ShitBreak

04-28-2009, 02:57 PM

I'm thinking Star Trek around 40-50 million...but may sustain a decent 2nd/3rd weekend if the word of mouth is good.

Just read a spoiler at nerdswithswag....it looks like its another X-men 3 shitfest. THey have fucked and cheesed the story of wolverine needlessly bad. Changed things that made more sense if they left it alone (deadpool specifically towards the end...wtf?).

I can only take 1 big summer disappointment a year, I WAS going to see this instead of JJ Abrams more-than-likely "LOST in space with Teenage Kirk", but now I think Ill tolerate Star Trek instead...while waiting for T:Salvation, which may be better termed "Summer 09 SciFI: Salvation".

I saw this yesterday. Taylor Kitsch does not make a good Gambit. He does not do a convincing Nawlins accent.

Ryan Reynolds works as Wade Wilson though. Deadpool was a little odd.

I didn't see the leaked version, I know people who did and they said it was generally the same.

Agreed, I like Kitsch from Friday Night Lights but he didn't sell me on Gambit, and they totally fucked up Deadpool. Reynolds was great, for the 10 minutes he was in it.

My wife and I saw it this afternoon. Was a fun time. Then I went to softball and fractured my wrist. So my opinion might be different now then it was then since I am enjoying the pain pills.

Overall I liked it. I love Gambit. But not this version. I was worried they'd fuck him up and I was right. I am pretty sure they used the 52 card pick up special move from X-Men Legends.

When the old lady got shot I laughed out loud in the cinema even though I knew it was coming from having seen the film online. No-one else seemed to find it funny though, there were even a few shocked gasps.

Am I alone in finding old women shot with high powered sniper rifles amusing?

You are certainly not alone good sir. I had the same experience during the sniper scene in Schindler’s List. People have no sense of humor sometimes.
