Wolverine Gambit
Former 'lost' Castaway Monaghan Joins Cast of 'wolverine'
The old adage “when one door gets closed, another opens” has proven to be true for Dominic Monaghan. His character Charlie Pace had been killed off on the finale of the serial drama series Lost but he gained another role recently. 20th Century Fox signed him to play the role of Barnell Bohusk, a.k.a. Beak or Blackwing, in the upcoming Wolverine film. He joins an impressive star-studded ensemble that includes Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Taylor Kitsch (Gambit), Will.i.am (Kestrel), Danny Huston (William Stryker), and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox).
Beak is a human who morphed into a humanoid-bird form. He has a beak, his eyes are bulgy, and his arms are wing-like. He wears a high-tech body suit that allows him to fly, gives him superhuman strength, produces energy blasts and serves as his protective shield. Feeling disgusted and ashamed at his own appearance, he sought solitude. He ran away from his family and went into hiding.
Monaghan is famous for his role as Merry in the film adaptation of the Lord of the Rings series. In England , he was well-recognized for his role as Geoffrey Shawcross on the British crime series Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. He also appeared on other shows like This Is Personal: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper and Monsignor Renard. His passion for films started when he was six-years-old, after watching Star Wars. His big screen debut was on the 1997 thriller, Hostile Waters. He has since then appeared on several films including Spivs, The Purifiers and Shooting Livien. Monaghan was also part of a short film entitled An Insomniac’s Dream, where he was cast as Jack.
Wolverine is expected to run in theaters on May 2009. This action/fantasy/sci-fi movie is directed by Gavin Hood and is written by David Benioff. Stan Lee co-wrote by focusing on characters.

Why did they wait until X-Men Orgins: Wolverine to introduce Gambit?
He is one of the most popular comic book characters out there and I thought he should have been in at least one of the X-Men movies before now.
he was
but in a deleted scene.
In the First XMEN movie, in the class room scene, when iceman and fireguy do the deal with the ice diamond for rogue, in a deleted shot, Gambit can be seen

Gambit $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A gambit (from ancient Italian gambetto, meaning tripping) is a chess opening in which a player, most often White, sacrifices material, usually a pawn, with the hope of achieving a resulting advantageous position. Some wellknown examples are the Kings Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4), Queens Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4), and Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4). A gambit used by Black may also be called a gambit (e.g., Latvian Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5), Englund Gambit (1.d4 e5), but is sometimes called a countergambit (e.g., Albin Countergambit) (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5) or Greco CounterGambit, an oldfashioned name for the Latvian Gambit). The word gambit was originally applied to chess openings in 1561 by Spanish priest Ruy Lopez de Segura, from an Italian expression dare il gambetto (to put a leg forward in order to trip someone). Lopez studied this maneuver, and so the Italian word gained the Spanish form gambito that led to French gambit, which has influenced the English spelling of the word. The broader sense of opening move meant to gain advantage was first recorded in English in 1855.

2009 movies
Fantasy: This year is bound to see the release of the much awaited Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As the series draws to a close and Harry Potter grows up, this is one movie that no kid or adult is going to miss this year. Another awaited fantasy/ book based movie of 2009 is Where the Wild Things Are. An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's children's classic, where a small boy creates his own imaginary world of monsters and wild things, this book has been in the news for a lot of reasons. The movie however, may be geared towards the adult population. Watch The Soloist Online Free
Drama: Hollywood is high on drama in 2009, and we see almost all current screen stalwarts starring in some emotional or moral drama this year. The Soloist, starring Robert Downey Jr as a journalist and Jamie Foxx as a schizophrenic musical prodigy is based on a true heart wrenching storyline. As per most experts, this might be a favourite at the 2009 Oscars. Also, Quentin Tarantino's latest, Inglourious Basterds, a flick about a group of Jewish-American soldiers and their brutal Nazi killings is a must watch for war movie/action/drama fans. Expect the trademark Tarantino violence and a star studded cast with Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Samuel L. Jackson, Eli Roth and other notables.

Prequels and Sequels: This year is going to be full of popular prequels and sequels. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel, promises to be a treat for X-men fans, since the story deals with the origin of the X-Men and how it all came to be. Gambit, who has been till date missing from the big screen, debuts in this one. Boondock Saints 2: All Saints' Day and fourth instalment from the F&F series, the Fast and Furious 4 promise to keep cult fans entertained.
Book Based: 2009 sees big books going to the big screen. The Watchmen, which is based on one of the best graphic novels ever is a highly anticipated release, especially with 300 director Zack Snyder behind the camera. The prequel to the Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, again starring Tom Hanks as symbologist Robert Langdon in his adventures at the Vatican is much awaited in spite of the poor performance of the Code.
