Oh yeah. Wish he was 20 years younger, then he'd be the perfect gambit: Jean Claude Van Damme. His accent would be 'perfect cajun'.

If they can afford Jason Statham (Transporter), cast him as Gambit.

Only 3 were cast well within this franchise...Stewart and the 2nd choice with Jackman; Raven Darkholme was good as well. Magneto....Ok, but the guy who's Adam and his twin on that All My Kiddies soap (I've got chatty relatives) would have been a good (and cheaper) choice. Rogue's actress was too young (she has grown a bit), and the others were salary caps. Halle, though beautiful, was miscast.

Director, script with the comic book as a true guide, and a better choice of cast members will aid to resurrect this. Otherwise, put it to bed and find other worthy Marvel comics. The Claremont stories were excellent....

Aarnold....as the king in new adventures. If they can bring Harrison Ford back for Indy; why not?

Reminds me of Kate B. of the Underworld franchise. Put the 2 of them in an action movie!
