Lost Star for X Men role?

Josh Holloway, one of the favourites with the ladies, was set to star in X Men: The Last Stand as favourite Gambit. This never happened because of TV commitments. Probably meaning he was due to run around not knowing what the hell was going on, aimlessly, in the jungle for a while longer *cough*Lost*cough. The next movie however, will feature the blondie southern drawling owen wilson lookalike as, yep, Gambit.

It'll come as no surprise I'm sure, that Gambit is a bit of a ladies mutant. He's the dark brooding type, with a big thing for Rogue. Another love itnerest for her?

Few of the XMen Trust Gambit when he first arrived, mainly because he was formerly a professional thief. But after time, they figure out that his use of the Bo Staff, his ability to make playing cards explode, and his breaking and entering skills could be used to their advantage.
I have no idea as of yet how much or little they will reinterpret the character to fit in the with melee of misfit mutants we currently have in the next movie, but no doubt, the fans will welcome the introduction of such a well liked character in the series.

Incidentally, next time round, no wolverine, and no Magneto (each have prior engagements making their respective on screen hero/villain flicks, imaginately titled Wolverine and Magneto)
