Who's In and Out in the X-Movie?

The gang's not all here, of course. (The ''X'' universe is immense, and this isn't a 12-hour miniseries.) Beloved, blue-furred Beast appeared in early scripts, but ultimately proved one blue mutant too many. With protean Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and teleporting Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) already needing four to five hours of makeup application and expensive computer assistance, the filmmakers decided a third visually complex character was just too extravagant. Similar concerns doomed Angel, a character with a 15-to-20-foot wingspan. But sharp-eyed fans may get a glimpse of plasma-zapping Jubilee and the card-carrying incendiary, Gambit.

More Movie Gambit

Fox has confirmed for us that stuntman James Bamford will be playing the role of Gambit in X2...more or less. While Bamford did supply a day's work of filming for the role, his appearance is merely a cameo, and Bamford's face will probably not even be shown on screen. Another note for Gambit fans: if Gambit were to reappear in a sequel, he would probably be recast. Thanks to Fox for this info! (From: Counting Down)
