X-Men Origins: Deadpool & Gambit
MTV recently caught up with Hugh Jackman at San Diego Comic Con and was able to get the good-spirited actor to discuss two of the new characters shown in the footage: Deadpool (who you might notice is played by Ryan Reynolds) and Gambit.
Jackman on Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool: “We were so thrilled to get Ryan. He’s the greatest guy. Incredibly funny. He plays Deadpool, the merc with a mouth. Not an easy guy to play. He’s always jabbering. He’s always going. Physically he’s in unbelievable shape and yet he’s also got that comedic ability. There are only a handful of actors that can do that.”
Jackman on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit: “I can say it. He’s sexy, right? He’s a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He’s a little bit of a wise guy. He’s an outsider. He’s got some issues himself. He’s mischievous. He’s cheeky. He’s a bit of a badass. We have a really great fight sequence. Physically that guy is an animal. He was chucking himself around on the concrete. He has that passion that I remember having when I first did Wolverine. There was no way a stunt double was doing anything for him.”
Like what you hear? Then check out the entire report (and video) with Jackman at MTV.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens to theaters on May 1st.
