Topic: Gambit Movie News

Very good news indeed.


I actually hope they go with a totally non-superhero costume and more of a like, underground New Orleans crime getup, y'know?

Anyway how long before we start getting pictures?! I almost can't handle it!

Hey purplevit, you are right on top of this stuff. I love it. thank you. I love this news. Even though I am not a fan of Mad Max Fury Road(mainly because I love the original three so much) the costumes and look of everyone is terrific. I think that's a great fit and really gets me excited for the look of this movie now.

Thanks. Yeah, recently we gwt some great Gambit movie news. It was a great week for sure:)

Hmm, I don't agree here. I want Guilds to have unique costumes that will show who are thiefes and who are assassins among them. So Gambit in costume won't be ridiculous there.

I agree that I would like Gambit's "operating" outfit to be some sort of Thieves guild armor/gear for when they're on the job. That way his look can easily translate over to an X-Force movie or whatever and still make sense as his "combat" gear with other heroes in superhero suits.

Sounds more like a leaning toward a first movie rather than an original origin


I like whoever said 'bend the mind'

not too much lol

[Spoonz]

I'm not saying I don't want it guild themed but I am saying don't want a crazy superhero outfit. He's a thief after all.

That's why Mann's design is perfect.

Idk if this was ever confirmed before, but Gambit will be filming in New Orleans, officially.

Wow, that’s a lot of news all of a sudden. Basically means I’ll be hogging this topic.


I’m not sure what to think about Daniel Craig as Sinister, I thought he was horrible as James Bond. Has this been officially confirmed yet?

[cc008]

Nothing official with Craig yet. He'd bring some extra star power to the movie if cast, and that would be a huge plus.

I think his angler face would be perfect for a cerebral villain with upper-class tastes and a lack of a moral compass.

That's one of the reasons I'd like him to be cast as well.  Plus, the dude's got some range - I'd love to see him play Sinister.

Agreed. Plus it'd mean Craig as Sinister for a wide array of X-Men films. Not just the Gambit ones. Imagine a movie with Craig as Sinister pulling the strings, Schreiber back as Sabretooth, and Tatum's Gambit?


Ugh.. more giddiness.

Oh god that sounds amazing.  The X-Movies in general could use another recurring villain or 2 like that since Mystique and Magneto are both basically good guys now.  Maybe not as prominent as those two were in the original X-Movies, but Sinister pullings strings behind the scenes, like you said, would be great

[wantutosigh]

Nothing official about Craig. In fact someone tweeted about how that rumor was untrue. Don't know who it was or if what they tweet is valid but some article quoted it. We will see though. I agree another big name would be great for this movie. No better character for that than Sinister. And easily a role that can transition to other movies.


There's been some speculation that Candra being the baddie in this Gambit movie is a set up to use the Externals in the X-Force move. That would be pretty cool. They could also throw Sinister in there and they could both segue into the Externals for X-Force.


Actually Verbinski hasn't been officially confirmed yet either but that seems to hold more water right now than Craig. FOX never officially confirmed Doug Liman either but we do know he was officially on board at some point.
