This is great news. I love Taylor Kitsch and not just because he is cute. He is a really great actor and him seem to be a good person. I am glad his career is taking off, but I hope we don't loose FNL.

Awesome news. Gambit is a pretty cool character, and Kitsch is great.

Gambit is my favorite X Man character but they should have gotten Josh Holloway from Lost.
