Hugh Jackman Talks Gambit And Deadpool

Hugh Jackman recently presented the first look of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at Comic Con a few days ago, and now he has spoke to Splashpage about the new mutants that will be making an appearance.

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.”

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.”

He also said he was game for an Avengers cameo for when Marvel get round to making it.
