Maybe Rogue was the teenage character because she's more famous, or something? And also, in the first movie, her powers worked best for the plot, I guess... although that doesn't explain why we didn't get a Gambit to go with her, instead of a young, serious Bobby Drake.
Supposedly we get Gambit in X4, however (if there is one.) Their excuse was that he's too big of a character to give a minor roll to. Yeah, whatever. I would've been happy with a Colossus-sized cameo at least for one movie. They could've fleshed him out in later movies, too.
Anyhoo, anyone seen
this yet? A seven-minute sneak-peak. Good stuff.
