Rumors are stirring that "Lost" star Josh Holloway has been approached for the role of Gambit for X-Men 4.
In an interview with TV Hits Magazine Holloway talked about being offered the role. "We had a meeting and they wanted me to play Gambit, the card dealer character, they thought I’d be perfect for the part. We’ll see."
Gambit is a mutant that uses kinetic energy to charge up objects and make them explode.
Holloway also said: “I would love to play a superhero. I’d love to wear a cape and tights!”
Not that I want a love story with Rogue, but at least one or two quick scenes of flirting is essential...and I don't see Josh and Anna. Maybe an actor in his late twenties or early thirties...
I am in total agreement that Josh is perfect for Gambit, although, I do agree with Flavio that he is way to old for anything to happen between him and Anna.
And wow, Syren, that Visual Guide is AWESOME!
Here are some images of Josh photoshopped to look like Gambit:

One of Rogue's little quirks is her attraction t younger men, so I don't see this guy's age as a major deterent.
There's always the option of going with a french actor though. i.e. Olivier Martinez. He's a little older, but has a stronger profile than our Mr. Halloway.
Rogue's longtime love from the comics has been Gambit. Pretty much scince forever. It's the whole 'I love you, but I can never have you, so you might as well look somewhere else/F_ it I don't care if banging you get's me dead' kind of thing.
The only other major affair she's had is Magneto. Unless things have changed recently, she's never had a thing with Iceman to my knowlege. That one was just for the kiddies.
Obviously they went with an age difference approaching great granpa with Mags, so that angle would have offended even me in the movies.

Exactly. They've taken a whole different route with Rogue's romances, so Holloway could come in as an older Gambit and maybe even have something going on with Storm.
Rogue and Gambit are a necessary combo, because they define sexual tension. Gambit is an extremely sensual character. S'why I don't like Halloway, he attractive, but Gambit is more than a good looking guy. He's dripping with distilled sex. The dark and sultry kind. The kind that slithers up your skirt with a twitch of his brow from across the room. The kind that stalks and creeps into the dark and sultry parts of you on the heels of the smooth velvet of his voice; cloves and chocolate with a little kick of cayenne. The kind that tickles your brain with that masculine scent that's his alone. Leather and whiskey, tobacco and swamp, the oh-so-faint tang of burnt plastic to remind you he's more than human, and maybe just a hint of some girl's perfume to remind he's not that much more. The kind that steals your breath as his mouth hovers near yours...No, not like that. Closer. You feel the heat of his lips, his flavor, coffee and zydeco skitters across your tongue...
But you can't taste him. Those hands, and they're good hands, can't roam where they want so his fingers dig into your spandex clad hips a little harder than he means to. And, even though he is what he is so completely that he would willingly give his life for that one kiss and be content in the knowledge that he would still be inside of you in some way, if not the best way, you have to step away. Because you're not willing to take something so beautiful from the world. Because you're not strong enough to be him while being without him. Because, stupid as it is, as long as it's been, you still have hope. Maybe someday. If I'm patient enough and good enough and need it enough... You still believe in a loving God even though it gets a little harder every day.
...Did I have a point? Oh yeah, Remy and Rogue are a nobrainer. They're epic. And Joshy boy just doesn't...slither for me.

Nah, I got a thing for Pete Wisdom. I like the hard-boiled detective type, and he's got a little of the mutt in him. Cops and strays two of my favorite things. And he's a brit to boot. Few things in this world sexier than that fusion of something so American with something so British...its almost Oedipal.

Wait a minute..marriage? did I just traumatize some little kid? I'm sorry. Women aren't that scarry, really. I just like words. See. words words words. Don't mean nothing.
I'm going to hell aren't I?
