Yeah, but he might sap the budget a bit too...look, me & my friends always had "ideal" Wolverine calls, then Hugh Jackman showed up & did it better than any of em.
I know were not all huge Keanu fans, but between Matrix (especially if you watch "Matrix Revisited" and see his dedication to training & such), Devil's Advocate, few others, I think he'dve done the Gambit role just fine. He's got the look, more or less, just needs a cajun accent. Man, you guys default cast Pitt in everythin like i do with Norton, its funny.
