Chris Potter Picks Austin Butler for Gambit | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Chris Potter, the original voice of Gambit, is buzzing about Austin Butler as his top pick to play the Ragin’ Cajun in Marvel’s new X-Men live-action films—joking he could even be Butler’s grandfather. Potter once auditioned for the first X-Men movie, aiming for Gambit but landing elsewhere, and now sees Butler’s intensity and charm as perfect for the role. With Taylor Kitsch and Channing Tatum already stepping into Gambit’s shoes across different projects, Marvel’s X-Men reboot is heating up—with Sadie Sink as Jean Grey and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister already announced. Potter’s endorsement adds nostalgic weight to the fresh cast, fueling fan excitement as Marvel builds its next big mutant universe.
