i think a fan favorite to play Gambit is Brad Renfro. It'd be way too costly to get a huge actor like the ones you mentioned because they'd want a high salary and the cast is just too big. They need to either go with an unknown who can pull off the athleticism and the accent or go with someone like Renfro who is a talented young actor who can pull the accent off.
Plus, Bryan Singer, the director of X-Men and Ian McKellan worked with Renfro in Apt Pupil so it'd be perfect; he could easily persuade him to come back. If they were going for the younger age Gambit to match with Rogue, then I wouldn't mind Brad Renfro playing the part.
