In February 2008, he signed on to play Gambit in the X-Men franchise spinoff X-Men Origins: Wolverine, released in May 2009. Of the fan-favorite character of Gambit, Kitsch states, "I knew of him, but I didn't know the following he had. 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."
In 2009, Kitsch signed up for Steven Silver's The Bang Bang Club alongside Ryan Phillipe and Malin Åkerman, set in South Africa and documenting the final bloody days of the apartheid.
As of June 2009, Kitsch is to play the title role in the film John Carter, alongside his X-Men Origins: Wolverine co-star Lynn Collins. The film is slated for a 2012 release.
In April 2010 it was announced Kitsch would star in Peter Berg's Battleship, an adaptation of the Hasbro guessing game, as Naval commander Alex Hopper. On November 2010 The Hollywood Reporter named Kitsch as one of the young male actors who are “pushing – or being pushed” into taking over Hollywood as the new “A-List”.
