“Rogue mutant Gambit (Taylor Kitsch) goes all in.”

That’s the caption that will bring one of the most popular X-Men mutants to the big screen, as evidenced by Empire Magazine. Gambit, the Creole mutant who has the ability to to add an explosive charge to non-human objects (he chooses to use playing cards, so he can throw exploding Kings into everyone’s face), will be played by Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch in Gavin Hood’s upcoming X-Men Origins:  Wolverine.

Expect a Wolverine trailer with The Day The Earth Stood Still on December 12th.
