X-Men: All 7 Gambit actors ranked from worst to best
Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, and Hugh Jackman in X-Men (2000)
There have been some notable actors to play Gambit in X-Men media but how do they rank?

When Gambit debuted in the comics in 1990, he stood out nicely. The Cajun thief had a sneaky side and a mysterious past, but captivated readers with his slick accent, style, and mutant power to charge objects (usually playing cards) with kinetic energy to explode. Remy Labeau was soon a mainstay of the comics.

The character rose to prominence with the 1990s X-Men animated series. Over the years, there were plans to integrate him into the X-Men movies that never came about. He finally got there with a couple of live-action appearances and many more in animation and video games.

There have been seven official actors to play Gambit in X-Men media, with each bringing their own style and abilities to the role. Here’s how they rank to show who brought this raging...

X-Men: All 5 Wolverine actors, ranked from worst to best
Image
When it comes to the X-Men, it doesn't get bigger - or better - than Wolverine. As Logan himself said in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is the X-Man. The truth is that when the vast majority of us think about Marvel's Mightiest Mutants, "Wolvie" is the first one that comes to mind - and that really says a lot about his popularity because he's technically not even the leader of the iconic team.

There is a lot to love about the character, even if you have to look beyond his gruff exterior. Renowned for his monosyllabic conversations, perpetual bad mood, adamantium skeleton and razor sharp claws, Logan has endured over the years to become not just one of the most popular Marvel Comics characters of all time, but one of the biggest pop-culture phenomenons in history.

That's largely due to how successfully has has translated to other mediums, particularly TV and film.

A Complete Cast and Character Guide for Sailor Moon
Image
Sailor Moon is the quintessential magical girl anime created by Naoko Takeuchi and published in Kodansha's shojo manga magazine. The series was immediately popular upon its 1992 release, and it still attracts new fans today who enjoy the original anime and manga alongside the current reboot Sailor Moon Crystal. Sailor Moon Crystal is a manga-loyal adaptation that has fewer filler episodes and more streamlined character arcs but the same central characters and plots.

The story of Sailor Moon follows the sweet and precocious protagonist Usagi Tsukino, who transforms into the intergalactic superhero Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon battles cosmic villains and eldritch horrors with the help of her fellow Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. With a sprawling cast of characters spread out across the franchise, it can get hard to keep track of everyone who is introduced. From the first season to Sailor Stars, here is every important character from the original Sailor Moon anime.

“What do you mean?”: X-Men ’97 Made Original Wolverine and Rogue Voice Actors Go Through the Audition Again Alongside Gambit Actor A.J. LoCascio
Image
X-Men ’97 was a treat for every Marvel fan. The show has successfully recreated the nostalgia, thanks to Marvel boss Kevin Feige who insisted the show must bring the original cast of Fox show, X-Men: The Animated Series. It makes sense as X-Men ‘97 was the continuation of the classic animated show in the ’90s.

Rogue with Magneto in X-Men ’97

Lenore Zann who played Anna Marie a.k.a. Rogue in both the series alongside Cal Dodd’s Wolverine revealed that they had to go through the audition process again despite their almost confirmed reprisal of their roles. Fan-favorite Gambit actor A.J. LoCascio also joined Zann and Dodd in the process.

Star Wars' C-3Po Was Originally Written A Lot More Like Watto
Image
The most rudimentary research into the creative origins of the groundbreaking 1977 sci-fi flick "Star Wars" will reveal to the reader that creator George Lucas was inspired by "Flash Gordon" serials from the 1930s, as well as Akira Kurosawa's 1958 epic "The Hidden Fortress." Kurosawa's film famously opened with two clownish characters (Kamatari Fujiwara and Minoru Chiaki) who aimed to earn their fortune as samurai. After several misadventures, the peasants unwittingly become embroiled in a much larger plot about a missing princess (Misa Uehara), a war, and a brave protective warrior (Toshiro Mifune). "Star Wars" borrowed that film's structure, introducing audiences to its sci-fi action through the eyes (lenses?) of the robotic characters C-3Po (Anthony Daniels) and the non-humanoid R2-D2. 

C-3Po was a prissy, fastidious droid who seemed impatient with the foibles of the organic beings he lived with, and was frequently panicked and afraid. The only time...

Roberto Patino Strikes Overall Deal With Netflix, Developing Comic Series Adaptation ‘Nocterra’
Image
Dmz creator Roberto Patino is moving to Netflix.

The writer and producer has closed an overall deal with the streamer and has established his own production banner, Analog Inc., in partnership with the company. He previously signed an overall deal with Warner Bros. TV in 2018.

Patino has also set his first project under the multi-year deal – writing a series adaptation of Image Comics’ Nocterra.

He will write, exec produce and serve as showrunner on the project, which is in the early stages of development, with James Wan’s production company Atomic Monster.

Nocterra is a sci-fi adventure telling the story of Val Riggs, a ‘Ferryman’ who relays people and goods through a world enveloped by a lasting darkness that turns the living into monstrous creatures called shades.

Scott Snyder and Tony Daniels, who created Nocterra, revealed in September that they had struck a deal with Netflix to develop a TV...

Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, and Kenny Baker in Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977)
Mark Hamill Is Celebrating a Very Important Star Wars Anniversary Today
Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, and Kenny Baker in Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977)
This week marks the 44th anniversary of A New Hope production start. Mark Hamill celebrated by posting some information on social media about his first day on set. According to some, the date was March 25th, 1976, but the official Star Wars website has it listed as March 22nd, 1976. Regardless, the anniversary just took place and not a whole lot of people took notice since there's so much else in the world going on. With that being said, fans were happy to see Hamill talk about the day.

1st day was in Tunisia, North Africa. Only cast there was Alec Guinness, Kenny Baker & Tony Daniels. Wouldn't meet Carrison & Harrie until we returned to UK. My 1st shot was me emerging from my home towards the Jawa droid sale-i had high hopes it would be a good movie. #TrueStoryhttps://t.co/7WvDnipkH7

The Voice Cast of the Classic X-men Animated Series Reunited for a Panel and It's a Lot of Fun!
For those of you who grew up watching the classic ‘90s X-Men animated series, I‘ve got a video here that you’re going to enjoy. The video features several members of the original voice cast reuniting to share and discuss their experiences working on the series.

The cast members that showed up include George Buza (Beast), Lenore Zann (Rogue), Cal Dodd (Wolverine), and Tony Daniels (Gambit), and it’s so cool when they break out their character voices!

The series introduced a lot of kids to the X-Men, and it’s one of the early shows that helped pave the way for the growth of comic book and superhero fandom. It’s because of shows like this that being a geek is popular.

The panel took place at Hill Country Comic Con, and you can watch it below.

Pratfall Master Ken Berry Dies at 85
Tony Sokol Dec 2, 2018

F Troop's Commander of Fort Courage Ken Berry was given his first assignment by Mr. Spock when he was a lowly sergeant.

Ken Berry, best known for his role as Captain Wilton Parmenter on the TV comedy series F Troop, died Saturday at age 85, according to Variety.

“Dear friends. We are sad to let you know our beloved Captain, Mr Ken Berry passed away tonight,” Larry Storch, who played F Troop's Corporal Agarn, wrote to Facebook. “We just spoke with Jackie Joseph who confirmed the devastating news. We are at a true loss for words. Ken, we hope you know how much you were loved. Goodnight Captain. We miss you already.”

Berry could deliver lines, but his forte was physical comedy. Trained as a dancer since he joined the Horace Heidt Youth Opportunity Program traveling performance ensemble at age 15, Berry was often assigned long, seemingly impossible takes...

Comic Book Reviews: DC Comics Round Up Week 10/12/2016

A little late this time around, but never forgotten! This week I take a quick look at the developing stories from DC’s Rebirth line up. While not a huge week for story development, we do get to wrap up a few plots and open the doors to a few more!

Action Comics #965

Story: Dan Jurgens Art: Stephen Segovia, Art Thibert, Arif Prianto, Dave Sharpe

Review: So with Superman seemingly unable to prove anything nefarious about this new Clark Kent, it’s up to Lois to try to figure out what’s going on! To do that she pretends to the Lois Lane of New 52 Universe, and as expected things don’t go completely as planned. Jurgens continues to do an excellent job here with how he handles the characters. Everyone feels right, in that their motivations, manner of speech and actions...

DC Comics brings us a rebirthed Trinity story line starring the big three of the DC Universe-Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman! Although this will be unlike any other “meeting” story between these icons that we’ve seen before. This week also brings us a few stellar books in the Rebirth line up along with solo Raven series (for all you Teen Titans fans).

Aquaman #7

Story: Dan Abnett Art: Scot Eaton, Wayne Faucher

Review: Arthur is still an outlaw according to the Us, he has to contend with all the problems Atlantis is currently facing while trying to discover who is framing his nation for the attacks on the surface world (Hint hint, it’s Nemo now run by Black Manta). All in all it’s safe to say it isn’t easy being King. I think that’s the...

Will this be the time for Cyborg to pick up steam with a potential film still looming in the distance? Read on to find out!

Aquaman #6

Story: Dan Abnett Art: Andrew Hennessey, Brad Walker Colors: Gabe Eltaeb

Review: Did someone not inform Dan Abnett this isn’t the same Clark that was introduced when The New 52 first started! This Superman seems very familiar with Arthur, so much so Arthur has no problem airing some of his more insecure issues with Big Blue. The exchange was awkward, and full of weird contradictions that just didn’t make sense for the characters. Superman says he’s not a puppet and he came to talk things out,...

Comic Book Reviews: DC Comics Round Up Week 08-24-2016

Recently I put up an article here on Lrm about getting into Batman for new or casual readers (and to an extent, some of the more regular comic book readers out there). I broke it down to three good jumping on points, of which Tom King’s "Batman: Rebirth #1" was used. Now with some of the "Rebirth" books getting near issue six, I can say almost (Almost, not All!) all of the official "Rebirth" books have been an excellent introduction to the series for new readers. On that front, DC has been hugely successful (and the sales numbers are showing it). While continuity is still a bit funky, and events within titles don’t really seem to match up in a macro sense, each individual series has been a blast to read. While I am still reading Marvel books,...

Comic Book Reviews: DC Round Up Week 08-17-2016

DC Comics has been killing it with sales lately, and for good reason! The Rebirth has been a success with almost every series delivering well-written and illustrated stories. Whatever editorial direction Geoff Johns put the company on, it’s worked! The characters feel fresh and new again, while still keeping true to the status quo set up in the New 52 Universe. Could the books do a slightly better job at feeling more “interconnected” (No that doesn’t mean crossover!)? Sure! But regardless, each individual series feels very well put together and on a focused plot. So without further delay, check out the hot books from this week’s DC Comics Rebirth line up!

Are those two silly Lanterns still squabbling over inane stuff? Well read on to find out all about the wonderful world of DC Comics!

Aquaman#3

Story: Dan Abnett Art: Philippe Briones Colors: Gabe Eltaeb

Review: So for some reason, even though Arthur painfully has put together this Atlantean Embassy, even though he’s saved the world (including America) countless times and has proven himself a hero, even though he is a Us Citizen, And even though Black Manta is also an American and blatantly guilty over the explosion at the Atlantean Embassy, we are to believe that everyone is like “well F*!

Comics: Bryan Hitch Discusses Justice League Rebirth's New Villains
Bryan Hitch's Justice League Rebirth was released to DC Comics readers today and if you're thinking the choice of an original villains is a one-off occurrence, think again. Hitch stated that he and artist Tony Daniels plan on utilizing original villains as the main-baddies for their entire run on the series. It was an idea Hitch first had while he was writing and drawing Justice League of America.   "Rebirth for me, is something of a mission statement. We've all read Justice League comics - and I [wrote] Justice League of America, as well. It was important to reset the ground rules and say, 'This is who the team is, this is how they work, this is the kind of stuff they're going to have to deal with.' I also wanted to [use the issue] to start some slightly different relationships with the team. Rebirth is just a hint of that. " "They're all...

The Joker’s Faces of Horror in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s ‘Batman’
The thing to remember about Scott Snyder is that he is not a superhero writer. For all of the Batman comics that he writes, he’s a horror writer, applying his trade more obviously to Wytches and American Vampire. Those titles are built on their dark mood and atmosphere. Rafael Albuquerque and Jock are two artists that Snyder has repeatedly worked with who can illuminate the darkness of the world. Snyder does that with his writing as well. American Vampire has been a secret history of the United States, revealing an unseen horrific presence behind familiar events and places. Wytches does something similar but on a much smaller and more personal level. While Snyder has also tried to do the of superhero story in Superman Unchained, a fine but underwhelming miniseries with Jim Lee, his natural element is horror.

Since his first Batman story in Detective Comics, Snyder has bent...

"Star Wars: Episode VII"- 'Luke Skywalker'
Actor Mark Hamill aka 'Luke Skywalker' in director Jj Abrams' currently filming "Star Wars: Episode VII", says "Star Wars" creator George Lucas "...always liked the idea of seeing the original characters as 'elderly' characters..."

"In my mind, there was a beginning, and a middle and an end for me and my association with George’s trilogy," said Hamill.

"It was firmly in the past. When the prequels came out, I watched from a distance, but I was totally fine."

"I hadn’t seen Tony Daniels or Carrie or Harrison or Peter Mayhew in ages...it was wonderful to see them again, because I didn't expect to. Again, this is all so unexpected. It’s like getting out that pair of pants you haven’t worn in five years and finding a 20-dollar bill in the pocket. Oh, this is nice."

Star Wars Episode 7: Mark Hamill urges fans to avoid spoilers
Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, and Kenny Baker in Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977)
Star Wars Episode VII star Mark Hamill has urged fans to avoid spoilers on the internet.

The actor - who will reprise the role of Luke Skywalker in the forthcoming picture - said that "the goal is to keep the surprises for the movie".

He admitted to the Orlando Sentinel that Episode VII is being released in a "whole different world" to the original trilogy, where spoilers are increasingly hard to avoid.

"The first one, no-one cared," he said. "The second one there was a lot of interest, but it was before the internet.

"I tell people we're not trying to annoy you or tease you or play some massive game. Basically what the goal is is to keep the surprises for the movie instead of spoiling them on the internet."

Hamill has reunited with former castmates Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew for the new film.

Luke Skywalker's 'Star Wars: Episode VII' Look Teased in New Photo
Rag & Bone “Men’s Project”
It wouldn't be another day without a Star Wars: Episode VII story, and today we have a new photo of Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. The actor is seen alongside a lightsaber-wielding Mickey Mouse in a promotional image for his appearance at Walt Disney World's Star Wars Weekends from June 6 through June 8, which hints at Luke Skywalker's new bearded look. It's worth noting that Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor both sported facial hair when they played Obi-Won Kenobi, so it's possible that Luke Skywalker could be training his own Jedi apprentice. The actor has also lost a considerable amount of weight to play Luke Skywalker again, which he comments on in a new interview that you can check out below this photo.

In a new interview with The Orlando Sentinel for his Star Wars Weekends appearance, the actor spoke about how he is preparing for his return as the Jedi master,...

Buzzmakers: Prince Michael Joins Et & Mindy Dies
Mindy McCready
What had ETOnline readers buzzing this week?

1. Prince Michael Jackson is New Et Correspondent

Having grown up in show business, Prince Michael proved to be a gifted interviewer as he conducted his first sit-down as an Et correspondent.

Michael Jackson's 16-year-old son impressed Oz the Great and Powerful stars James Franco and Zach Braff as well as director Sam Raimi with his confidence and competence on his first assignment.

"You're doing awesome," Braff gushed. "You're a natural."

Prince Michael returned the compliment, praising their work in the fantasy flick and getting Franco to shed some light on how he approached playing the lead role of Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics.

"I saw that his particular transformation would allow for comedy," Franco explained. "Because he's a conman -- that would get him into a lot of awkward situations that could be played for comedy."

The movie imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved...

Return of the Jedi? Mark Hamill set for talks to reprise Luke Skywalker
Actor confirms he has been approached to play farm hand turned Jedi knight in new Star Wars films planned by Disney

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Mark Hamill was plucked from obscurity to play the lead in one of the most popular film franchises of all time. Now the actor looks set to wield his lightsabre once again, after confirming that he is set to have talks to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in the series of films planned by Disney, the new owner of the Star Wars universe.

Hamill, 61, played the farmhand turned Jedi knight in the first three Star Wars films to be released, between 1977 and 1983.

In comments that will doubtless whet the appetites of the films' legions of fans, the actor told the Et Online website: "They're talking to us. George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say...

When it comes to the future of the Star Wars franchise, overheated Internet rumors outnumber solid news stories by a considerable margin. As Yoda would say, “Difficult to see.

Mark Hamill confirms he is in talks for new Star Wars movie
Actor who played Luke Skywalker in original series wants to reprise his role as Jedi knight in proposed new trilogy of films

Mark Hamill has confirmed he is set to have talks with the team behind the new Star Wars films about reprising his role as Luke Skywalker.

Speaking to the Et Online website, Hamill revealed he had not yet sat down with the new president of LucasFilm, Kathleen Kennedy, nor the proposed writer of Star Wars: Episode VII, Toy Story 3's Michael Arndt, but expected to do so when the pair were less busy. He did not mention whether he expected to meet the film's recently announced director, Star Trek's Jj Abrams, who was appointed by Kennedy last month following Disney's $4.05bn (£2.6bn) purchase of all rights to the long-running space opera saga in October last year.

Kennedy departs ‘Jurassic’, Hamill on returning to ‘Star Wars’, ‘Under the Dome’ casting, ‘Beast’ finds a director
While it should not be surprised, due to involvement with the next Star Wars trilogy, but Kathleen Kennedy announced she’ll not be involved in Jurassic Park 4 for Universal. She -along with Steven Spielberg and her husband, Frank Marshall- produced the first three films in that franchise. Marshall will stay on as producer, while Spielberg is currently credited as Executive Producer, though still no director has been confirmed for the project, which has a release date of June 13, 2014. Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) penned the script.

On the Star Wars Rumor Parade, word is deals are in the works for the return of principle cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford for Episode VII, though once again, a veil of “no confirmation” continues to dog it. Hamill told Entertainment Tonight that he seems interested in returning. “Another thing I’d...

Mark Hamill Discusses Star Wars: Episode VII
We recently heard that Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode VII, and that Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher will also most likely be coming back. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Hamill clarified that no one has officially signed on for the next Star Wars movie, but they are currently in talks with Lucasfilm, so it's only a matter of time before they do! Here's what Hamill had to say,

They're talking to us. George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts – they would write us out. … I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts. We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm.

Mark Hamill Discusses His Involvement In ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’
After what seems like an endless amount of articles involving fans and bloggers speculating what the next anticipated Star Wars installment will include or be about, we finally have some have something slightly more concrete to report.

Rumors have always circulated about the inclusion of the three former leads from the original trilogy. It isn’t until now though that we have had one of them speak so candidly about the upcoming films. While making the rounds for his upcoming film Sushi Girl released by Magnet and Magnolia Pictures, Mark Hamill spoke to Entertainment Tonight and gave some info about his...

Mark Hamill's new movie Sushi Girl hits DVD and Blu-ray this week, and while talking about the project, the Star Wars legend was more than happy to provide ETonline with an update on his involvement with the in-development Star Wars VII – and what he thinks of those planned spinoff movies…

I put in those stadium style leather recliners in front of the 60” HD with Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, in case you want to go faux-bowling. What’s that you said? You want to enjoy some tunage? Let me turn up the 5.1 surround sound, and blast a little Guster. We’ll take it all the way back to Goldfly. Mmmm, yeah, that’s the stuff.

Ok, now that you’re all comfy and cozy, let’s chat a little, shall we? I want to address something that’s been nagging me now for a few months. It seems a few...
