Aww, HELL YEAH!!!

Yeah, so despite all the papers and sh*t I have to do this weekend, Monday can't come fast enough.

For all you X-Men fans out there, check this out. 

(I guess they're really keeping our favorite fiery bird under (visual) wraps until next year...)

Also X-Men Related: Gambit Casting!!

Ok, so good ol' Superherohype.com put this lil gem of information online: 'Lost' star Josh Holloway was up for the role of Gambit. Had they actually had the time/space/cajones to put Gambit in there (which they HAD hinted at by showing his name on a computer screen in X2), this is what he might have looked like:  

 

Not too bad, I say. Photoshop some red eyes onto that beeotch (a task for another night, I feel) and by jove, that ain't bad.  Kinda reminds me of Viggo, actually (who, IMHO, wouldn't be such a bad Ragin' Cajun himself). 

Thoughts?  I say that this one is a tough one to cast.  You have to have equal parts nonchalance, badassity, grace, and southern style.  Gambits not a pussy like Scott but he's not feral like Wolvie: kinda like a civilized, too-husky-to-really-be-metrosexual-but-riding-the-ragged-edge-of-disaster-type.   I think this dude fits the bill.

P.S. Ignore the breasteses in the pic.  I'm sure they wouldnt look like that with his posh overcoat on...
