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

Huh. Could be, could be.... But in the glimpse we see she doesn't have that femme fatale aura that Emma Frost gives off so convincingly. Still. It would be really fun to see Emma in the movie.
Nice theory, anyway.

I don't know him; research is called for.
sn't wearing a mask or covered in scars so he's not actually very Deadpooly.
Well, no! And none of the dialogue had that outrageous Deadpool edge of inspired mania to it. Still, it's only a trailer - they couldn't show much of any of the characters.

That's better than nothing! The movies are... odd variations on the comic book story. Though I like Hugh Jackman, and I think he does Wolverine's character well, it still bothers me that he isn't ugly and short! Ah, well. You can't have everything.
I know that Gambit is a fan favourite
He's certainly my favourite! Interesting too that the movie seems to feature Storm as a child - which fits the comic book story well, because she was a child when she (and we) met Gambit for the first time.
Gambit is so cool: I hope they do justice to him. Looks as if they might. I feel opimistic!

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.

Ain't it the truth - ! Everybody's favourite Cajun at last. And those playing cards look damn good.
(Omigod: I just realized that Gambit has conditioned me to think that playing cards flying through the air is a really seriously sexy concept. He's given me a playing card kink, the fiend! Deserves thanks for that....)
Is Deadpool the guy with the swords? Minus scars and mask it's hard to tell.
Presumably Silver Fox is the one they're showing as Wolverine's dead wife. Cool.

Ugh. Remember pseudo-Rogue...? Sigh. Couldn't stand to see the same thing done to Gambit.
