He directed the sequels, didn't write them lol.  I thought the directing was good, but it's overshadowed by s***ty scripts.


Oh yeah, which is another reason I'm excited with the Gambit movie.  It seems like they really took their time with getting the script right.  Now, yeah. . .  that coulda totally just been an excuse they told people as the reason for the delays.  But I'm hopeful.

I have lurked on this board for like 10 years (maybe longer?), and I have been following the Gambit movie drama since day one.  I'm probably like everyone else here and have been dreaming of a Gambit movie since the early 90's.  I was blown away when it was announced that Fox was actually going to produce it.  Dream come true.


Anyway, what prompted me to finally make an account is the fact that I am ecstatic with all of the latest news of what's going on with the Gambit film.


1.  I was bummed when we lost Doug Liman, I thought he would have been a good fit.  But then I just got the news that they found a new director.  I clicked the article hoping for someone halfway decent, and when I read the name Gore Verbinski, my jaw almost hit the floor.  He is seriously one of my favorite directors of all time.  Few directors can create movies as saturated with atmosphere as Gore.  Not to mention that he proved he can do action just as well.  So pumped that he's on board (now let's just hope he stays on board, lol).


2.  Just the fact that Mr.  Sinister, one of Marvels greatest villains, will be making his debut in the Gambit film is so freaking perfect.  And I never thought about Daniel Craig playing him, but as soon as I read that I instantly realized that would be perfect casting.


3.  I'm a big fan of the rumor of all the supporting X-Men characters that might show up in the film.  If they treat the supporting cast the way the Deadpool film did, it'll be amazing.


I don't know.  I just feel things are finally moving along in a really positive direction for the Gambit film.  The wait I think will totally be worth it.


After possiblr leaked story and new rumoured director there are more possitive comments about Gambit movie on sites where he was hardly hated before. So I think it goes in right direction.

I know and I agree—but he’s still guilty by association for having any involvement. :-p

Honestly, I’m not worried about him, but i’m still cautious about this whole thing.

I liked Wyatt and Liman options but I think Vebinski is better choice for Gambit movie. I think he can make Gambit more spectular character.


But movies from Liman I like more.

Same. I think the tone Limen would have brought would have been perfect seeing what he did with Mr and Mrs Smith and Edge of Tomorrow. Tense with a constant presence of humor each with it's own personally and identity.

Daniel Craig as Sinister.
Gore Verbinski as director.
Still too bad that Tatum will be Gambit (I think he's too old now).
But with all this star power maybe this thing will finally get made.

I think he's going to lose a gang of weight and rock it out to the best of his ability. I think he's going to surprise us. But this is definitely going to be a fully formed Gambit in terms of his the age he'll be portraying. I always saw Gambit as being in his late 20s, early 30s. Tatum can pull that off

I think Tatum will be great and really surprise everyone.
Really doubt that Daniel Craig will be Sinister and hope that Gore Verbinski will stay as director

I agree. He'll get cut up a little bit for the role and look the part.  And I think being full-fledged Gambit already is the way to go for the movie. If they want, they can cast a young Gambit to show flashbacks... kind of like in the Uncharted series with a young Nathan Drake.  But Gambit's always been on the older side of the X-men anyway, in my view, so the movie starting with him already at that age makes sense to me.

Yeah, he said in this article (https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2015/07/02/channing-tatum-gambit/77523954/) from a couple years ago that he's working to lose some muscle mass, so he's even aware that he's a little too bulky for the role.   


Personally, I hated the idea of him as Gambit when it was first announced but he's really won me over the last couple years with how dedicated he is to getting this movie made.    Throw in Craig as my favorite X-Villain and I'm sold.

The prospect of actually getting Mister Sinister in this movie has got me WAY too giddy.

Gambit: "Psychologist?"
Brother Voodoo: "In out brief time together, I've seen evidence of a personality type that is narcissistic, kletomaniacal, pathological, adrenaline-addicted, anti-athority, and given to reckless suicidal tendencies. No offense to you, Remy. But a super hero that moonlights as a thief? Dude...you have issues!"
