I think Gambit has a huge challenge as character becuase of his sad and selfloathing part and fun part at the same time.
Neko would love brighter Gambit as written by Asmus and such feeling for movie. Don would be even ok with popcorn movie if it will be succesfull and make money. Remydat would do a fun Gambit with more dark/selfloathing in third act. I would be more then ok with Gambit more as villain in drama/thriller movie about his past.
The pefect solution is really to find this golden middle between comedy and drama, so we can see fun, mysterious, cool, selfloathing and dangerous Gambit in one movie.
