Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights, The Covenant) will be playing the role of Gambit in the upcoming X-Men movie spin off, Wolverine.

MTV caught up with Wolverine star Hugh Jackman and asked him about Taylor's participation in the film:

"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."
