We'd have to settle on a plot, a love interest (if any), tone of the film, villain(s), era (timeline), locale(s), and budget, which kind of determines everything else, if this was a spy flick, we going for "Mr and Mrs Smith" level or "James Bond Spectre"?

We'd have to look at it from the perspective of a producer and writer and attempt to create something that honors the source material and appeals to superhero/marvel/dc movie going crowds as well as general movie going crowds. If we look at it from a nerdy Gambit fanboy/girl trying to make the perfect Gambit movie perspective, we'll be doing it FOREVER. ;)

Yikes. I like to think FOX is learning their lesson with these movies. Deadpool was pitch perfect and Logan was good(a bit overrated in my honest opinion) but I am not a fan of their X-Men movies at all. And that seems extremely ambitious for a studio who, in my opinion, has still not gotten the X-Men right. So I definitely have concern but we know FOX doesn't mind changing or dropping dates. Just as long as the Gambit movie is first in line after New Mutants, Deadpool 2, and X-Men "whatever" are finished, I'll be happy. People keep talking about X-Force like it's a definite and Gambit is still up in the air. I think Gambit is way further along in development than X-Force.

Well, X-Force has a director and main stars. Maybe even first draft of script.


About Gambit we know so far only about Channing.


It seems old date Feb 14 2019 is valid too. I hope it is for Gambit.

New Mutants 2
Deadpool 3
X-Force
Cable
X-23 (Logan sequel or something like it)
Gambit maybe
Main X-Men movie
Fantastic Four
Any other property they have

Director is rumored and main stars are just people we assume will transition from deadpool 2.


Gambit has Tatum and we know there is a script(possibly 2) and rewrites. Imdb also has more listed in the crew for gambit. X-Force would be a big undertaking and Gambit SHOULD be a much simpler movie to make and should certainly come out before X-Force.

I agree Feb 14 2019 is a great date for Gambit to come out. Early in the year like Deadpool and Logan were.

Even the people that don't want Tatum would rather have someone other than Taylor "Box Office Bomber" Kitsch. Please tell me someone had some sense and called him on that.

Ugh, you know, these people and all their ilk do know their films, they know the business, but really what impact do they have?  None.  They're just commentators. Ignore them if they say stuff you think is silly. 

Tatum isn't my first choice at all but he's grown on me.  Watched the trailer for Logan Lucky and it looks like he's still becoming much better of an actor.  I also watched that Hateful Eight movie the other day and I reckon he's actually better than I thought at doing the charm act.

I can't stand those guys at Collider and I can't really watch them anymore. He says no one wants Tatum. No one wanted Ben Affleck as Batman either when he was announced. Then they released that photo of him in the Bat suit and half the people flipped. Then they did their marketing campaign and a teaser then trailers and everyone was declaring Affleck the best Batman ever before Batman v Superman even came out. Harloff and team should know better then to trust the opinion of the internet of a casting choice so early on in production. Internet opinion can change drastically further into the process. If it was one of their favorite characters they'd be much more open minded.


And to keep harping on Taylor Kitsch is just ridiculous at this point. Kitsch did the best he could but he was not a good Gambit. Not to mention he's pretty much considered box office poison at this point. The ship has sailed on Kitsch.


Did anyone here like Kitsch as Gambit in XMO:W?

I was never a fan, but he has fans of his portrayal. He tried to hard imo. But he was okay enough that when that film is on TV, the only scenes I watch are his. That says something, there was some really good effects and I liked the gambling aspect. But getting decked by Wolvie was lame. 

Funny - SBB (my hubby and tech guy here) busts my chops when that film is on ... he know which section I'm watching and knows I'll change the channel when its done. LOL

If that movie is on. those are the only scenes I watch as well but it's really only because it's Gambit in live action movie form. So, I've watched that scene many many times. At the time I stood up for him and his portrayal. I give him credit for doing his best but after all is said and done, in my opinion, he is not the guy. I can literally break down the entire appearance of Gambit in that movie shot for shot and go on and on about all things I don't like, can't stand, or hate and the things I like. The bad far out ways good. And in my opinion that appearance of Gambit was a massive failure all around.


I just don't understand people who think Kitsch was great or say "Gambit was the best thing in the movie". To me that's what has helped bury Gambit as a character in the years since. People hardly remember Gambit in the movie and for fans to say Gambit was "awesome" or "pretty good" or "done well" I think criminally underscores how awesome Gambit really is. I think Deadpool got a bigger push coming out of that movie because of how butchered he was and everyone knew it and complained to no end. Gambit just kind of resembled himself and overall it was just a lame outing and excitement for him in movies just kind of faded into the background.


Thanks to Channing Tatum and FOX realizing they screwed up the possibility of establishing a major fan favorite character they are trying it again. But it's a bit more of an uphill battle than it originally would have been in part due to the disappointing showing from him the first time in a disappointing movie. These are just my opinions and feelings on the matter.

Well, Gambit WAS the best thing in that movie.  Problem is, it was an awful movie from start to finish so it's not a very high bar to clear  :P

I think Kitsch had the right look for Gambit and honestly I think as an actor he had the ability to pull it off. But the problem was that he really didn't know Gambit, he said in interviews he'd never heard of the character before the audition.  Now fair play to him he went out and tried to do his research but maybe he just didn't read enough issues (he only ever mentioned the issue where he talks to Storm on the roof then beats up Sabertooth), because his Gambit could've been any cocky teenager in a casino if you took away the cards and the staff.  But I think it's unfair to lay it all on Kitsch since that script and direction was pretty bad for the character.  He won the plane in a game?  Why not have him steal it? 

Anyway, I would've been curious to see Kitsch try again with a much better script and a better director.  Maybe a director who loves the character.  Everybody rips on John Carter but I liked it and thought Kitsch didn't do too badly.  Everything that came after that...pretty bad, yeah I can see what he's not in a lot of stuff these days. 

But as it is, Tatum love Gambit and seems to know Gambit pretty well so I'm happy for him to have a go.  If only we can get to it happening!!
