Even reading from the original source (The Wrap), they never confirmed Channing was completely out, all it stated was that someone close to the production said that “something was up” …and made it sound more dramatic than what it really was. Then pretty much everyone else jumped the gun and assumed the movie was getting cancelled based on that comment, CBR even did piece on ‘Gambit’s Most Embarrassing Moments’

Anyway, this whole thing gave the movie a lot more publicity.

CBR can't help itself and go the route of mocking.  Especially when it comes to Gambit.  But at least there were a couple of positive articles there in regards to Gambit.

The covers article and the open letter was good stuff.  The embarrassing stuff wasn't needed but ... whatever.  

Now, they're silly looking because of over reacting. LOL

And in this case, pub for Gambit.  You are right on that.  ;)

I'm hearing Léa Seydoux is up for lead actress. I think that's a good cast, most likely Belladonna. Not a fan of Belladonna in the comics, but then again she never really had a lot of development, and the movies are always going to have a different take. One great thing about Belle is that she's just as unpredictable as Gambit (perhaps even more so).

I hope it is the role of Bella Donna.  Mostly because for Gambit's film, I want it to be about him and his history.  I don't want skipping it (his history) because of any other character.  His history is awesome and can translate well to the big screen.  ;D

I'm happy they will make the movie, and that tatum is so passionate about taking the role as gambit, but his face :/ I'm sorry, I'm not really that shallow in reality but gambit has always been thin and athletic, even if he loses weight, his face is just not gambits, it’s just too wide or something, I can’t describe it.
Credit to tatum for loving the character but I would have chosen a different actor if it was possible and still been able to make a gambit movie with Fox. Sorry, but it’s how I feel
At this point I hope the script is REALLY good to be able to get people to like the movie

I guess we'll see how he does, he's still working on slimming down.   :)

We can pick all sorts of actors that look more like Gambit but none of them really worked to get the part like Tatum has done.  IMO - We're getting a film because of Tatum - not because Fox thought lets do a Gambit film.   

This makes me think of Robert Downey Jr and Iron Man.  I had reservations about RDJr playing Tony Stark.  I thought - only two ways, flop or hit.  Turns out, RDJr was great as Iron Man.  While we can nit pick his 2 sequels.  He was key in the Avengers movie.  When they recast Iron Man, he will be a hard act to follow.  It won't be like Spider-Man or Batman where film execs just look for someone to play the part.

Yeah I see this happened many of times when certain actors take on the roles of famous superheros, Micheal Keaton had a huge backlash when he was cast as Batman to the point where batman fans were making petitions to WB to recast the role, and I believe everyone beloved Jackman at the time he was cast as Wolverine, they couldnt see it, but now...well I dont need to finish what happened now do I?

But I hope Tatum had in his contract to be shirtless for about 15 mins in the movie, we as the fangirls demand it!

New York Post writer trashes Gambit and discourages Tatum from playing character on big screen:  
http://nypost.com/2015/08/03/channing-tatum-is-making-a-huge-mistake-playing-gambit/

-Bad accent (this should offend an entire sect of people...)
-lame powers (obviously has no clue what they are talking about.)
-canceled solos (...90% of solos get canceled.)


It wont let me reply... maybe we should answer his questions.

Rogue being flung vagina-first at the first male that pops up on her radar isn't how I'd define "romance," but Marvel must be using a different dictionary than me.- NicoPony

It's somebody who doesn't like the character and is butt hurt that he's getting a movie, but knows nearly nothing about Gambit.  I've said as much in the comments.

Unbelievable ... what a dumb article.  Clearly the writer knows nothing about Gambit.

We are talking about the NY Post, which is itself pretty trashy to begin with,

And of course the AV Club had to get their digs in, in a Newswire piece, no less.  http://www.avclub.com/article/channing-tatum-officially-re-committed-playing-ter-223211

One of the commenters mentioned "electric playing cards"--sigh. It's gonna be a long ordeal having to see this BS.

I had a real hard time with that too and they only give you five minutes to edit your comment before you can't anymore.  Talk about frustrating.  I got one line in and that was it.

I guess I should have wrote out what I think in notepad, then copy and pasted.

Doesn't matter the other posters nailed it as far as I'm concerned.
