      Yh Chris would have been perfect in the films when he was younger. He's ruggedly good looking and he was familiar with the character so he'd know the approach. Heck even at 60 he makes a much better Gambit then Taylor Kisch.

      If Gambit standalone movie ever revives, it'd be perfect idea to have Taylor Kitsch as current version of Gambit, and either have Chris Potter play as older version of Gambit (maybe for Age of Apocalypse era when Gambit go time travel) or play as Gambit's father. It'll not be a bad idea to have Mr. Sinister as a main villain to his movie.

As a fan of their romance, when they got to kiss w/o their powers, golden moment.

      This is why I laugh when people give credit to Ryan Reynolds for chasing down a role for 9 years. By all means, he got it and Im glad for him. However, it's definitely a Channing Tatum "Here, hold my gumbo" moment.
      Dude has been chasing Gambit since 2005, when he was originally cast as him for the third Xmen movie. Which is ironically, Gambit being cut from the movie for special effects budget, is how he was cast in She's the Man, with Amanda Bynes. As an apology from the producer.
      That being said, every time the movie is greenlit, he is cast (Save for W:O where Taylor Kitsch played his dream role, because I think he was filming GI Joe), yet only to go nowhere. Then... FINALLY, it was actually going to happen.
      Two years after the last time but it was coming togther with serious effort. With the success of Deadpool, it showed that you can have a successful "Xmen movie" without the Xmen... or Wolverine. Kind of like what Sony is doing with Morbius, Venom and Madame Web. So Fox was moving behind it to make it sort of in the same vein as Deadpool. Not the comedy, but that dark, Rated R action, like with New Mutants. Then Disney bought them.

    Being Canadian you would think Wolvie would be my favorite, but no, it's Gumbo all the way. Everyone is always all about his relationship with Rogue, but I love his relationship with Jubilee much more. "You miss me petite? I reckon so!" He is much more of a father and role model to her then all of them. I think he understands her more then anyone else , and is much more open with her despite all his trepidations with the rest. They tried to bring that same feeling into the first X-Men movie with the bond between Wolverine and Rogue. I was in my 20's when it came out, I am 48 now , I loved it then and I love it now, I will never be bored of it. Just one simple phrase " Previously On X-Men" And then that epic intro is all that is needed to have my full attention.

    Back in middle school (20 years ago), I started writing (admittedly, terrible) fanfiction where I was married to Gambit. At the time, I had been told by classmates that I would never get a date, that I would die alone, no one would ever want me, etc... At the time, I felt like I needed a hero in my life & one that it wouldn't be out of character to be in love. Gambit was always my favorite, and that's why I wrote Gambit as my significant other. (The year after I wrote the fanfics, I met my husband - been together for 19 years now. Still, got a super soft spot in my heart for Remy LeBeau.)

      Yes he did. Grew up watching him on TV. He was the cop “Peter” the son of David Carradine. I was so in love with him! One time in one episode someone asked him if he would’ve liked to be like Agent Mulder (he was playing a cop). It was sooooo funny, being a fan of the X-Files too at the same time. Man, nineties were SOMETHING else (of course along with the 80’s)

    While some interviewers get to ask Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, and George Buza of their input about their live action counterparts like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Anna Paquin as Rogue, and Kelsey Grammer/Nicholas Hoult as Beast, I'm always curious to know what would Chris Potter think of Taylor Kitsch, his live action counterpart Gambit, if he ever watches X-Men Origins Wolverine movie.
