Here are two of the pages of his introduction (images, because the app won't let me cut and paste):

Gambit was one of the few good things about the Wolverine movie, and he's pretty similar to this. No idea about his character in the two bombs of this year.

Oh, I forgot the golden-net sarong, and the sexual innuendo. Clearly, I have to reread.

I'm making an uncompensated career out of quoting directly from the book. Which, really, the articles covering it really should, to just forestall shit.

No, he's not forty something. No it's not possible that his eyes are blue...

Alex Pettyfer is number one on my list. Garrett Hedlund number two.

Armie Hammer is way too beefy. if Hunnam(he is!) is too old, Justin Hartley(he so is!) is way too old. Kitsch is only a year younger than Hunnam(and starting to look his age IMO).

of that list, only two are age appropriate Zylka and ZEfron and neither are Finnick for me. though i do love me some ZEfron.

I don't feel the actors have to be the characters' ages, they just have to look them. And I haven't seen the pics of Kitsch that you have. Maybe his box office results have taken years off his life. I think Pettyfer looks older than Kitsch right now.

I gotta say, my first reaction is: Ian McShane? SERIOUSLY? WOW.

I've felt that way about him, mostly.

Huh. That there is a very nice roster of awesome British character actors. In between this and The Hobbit, playing dwarves is in this year, I guess.

Damn, FILM CRIT HULK is in The New Yorker! Writing about Ruffalo's Hulk, no less (with a fairly substantial digression into Bixby's Banner).

Pondering why the sound of the siren from Prometheus gives me serious heebie-jeebies.
