Taylor Kitsch, best known for his tremendous role on Friday Night Lights, is excited about his role in next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The young, talented actor recently spoke to Media Blvd about the part:

Who did you play in the movie?
I played a character called Gambit. He’s just another comic book character that has kinetic energy. It’s a fun role. You’ll have fun watching it.

How familiar were you with Gambit before you got the part?
I knew of him, but I didn’t know the following he had, and I’m sure I’m still going to be exposed to that. I love the character, I love the powers, and I love what they did with him. I didn’t know that much, but in my experience, it was a blessing to go in and create my take on him. I’m excited for it, to say the least.

Is it fun to play a superhero?
Absolutely! It’s a great ride. I had so much fun in Australia.
