Have you not read the X-Men comic book?
Man, I've read the comics for sixteen years, watched both cartoons through their entirety and played just about every video game related. Suffice to say, I am a solid X-Men fan. Gambit has to be one of the worst characters the franchise has ever seen. He was originally supposed to be a double agent sent by Sinister, but then people responded well to him so editorial nixed it and made him a walking cliche. Bland fucking character.

i'm not the biggest fan of gambit, but i like any new character cameo (the more the merrier), love any comic book movie for that matter... even the bad ones... i somehow feel obligated to like em just to show the nerd support, even when they screw up the film translation of a comic.
i like hugh jackman for the most part but i woulda liked a more true to comic wolverine... shorter and scruffier, but short and scruffy wouldn't sell tickets outside the fanboy market so i understand why he's wolverine. when i turn off the fanboy in me, i buy it.
as for ryan reynolds, i am not a fan... not to say that i hate everything he's in he wasn't that bad in smoking aces, his first non-quipy role and the nines what kinda wierdly cool, but left a kind of "huh?" i just don't like his lack of range in his films, typical good looking witty dude who never loses... but deadpool is kinda arrogant and witty but definately not good looking... maybe i might like him more if his face is all messed up with the legacy virus, we'll see if they get the make-up right.
either way i'm excited for anything related to the marriage of comics and film. i'll be there opening weekend

F.Y.I., it was Maverick who got messed up from the Legacy Virus, not Deadpool. Deadpool's scarring and hideousness was the result of Weapon X experimentations with trying to reproduce Wolverine's healing factor mixed with skin cancer that Deadpool had developed before entering the program. The experiments left him with a healing factor possibly stronger than Wolverine's, but he was left hideously and permanently scarred and criminally insane.
Sox:
There's a theory that the man in X3 with the regenerating arms was Deadpool. Y'know, the one who had to be kicked in the nuts to be put down.

Seriously, fuck Gambit. What this franchise needs is Maggott.
