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.
