It's the verbiage used to talk about his agility, when she says his powers give him natural agility.  Does it mean, it adds to what he already knows or has been trained to do? Or is the question not really agility but stamina.  He can continue to rely on his normal/natural agility that is fueled by his powers for length of time.  I dunno.  

We don't really get to see the full use of anything he can do, outside of the charging of cards.  

yeah its weird if she had said enhance or super itd make sense but she says natural agility, does that mean he had none to begin with this has opened up so many questions...damnit Rogue

I always thought his powers did augment his natural agility and speed and also somehow give him the sense of when things are incoming. I mean he did have a bullet catch moment in x-men #1, and in marvel that may classified 'peak' human it's pretty close, but add that in to the upside bball shot that couldn't be blocked by wolverine plus holding his own in a hand to handish fight with skrull Gladiator in Uncanny #277 and also Fabian's Gambit #1 where he counts the bullets and understands they all missed makes me pretty feel safe in saying his powers do give him a definitive edge when added to his Guild Training. Of course this was all in his heyday, most recently he was killed by some ordinary gangster so..........



On a side note not that surprised to hear Tatum is on board with this though the 150 million budget does make me a little nervous since I don't want to rely on CGI for this movie, I woulda thought they could make it for half and given Fox's meh track record it does make me somewhat trepidatious but hopefully all the extra money will be put to good use.

Abbey Lee was terrible in Mad Max, i thought all the actresses in the heram (the brides or whatever they were) they were bad, the only downside to that film imo and she was the worst, Rebecca Ferguson is really good in MI5 (im also hoping she shows up in GoT flashback as Lyanna Stark)as for Lea Seydoux she was ok in MI4 cant remember her doing alot apart from fighting, i  havnt seen here in anything else......so if its one of them i hope its Ferguson

[Nekobaghira]

I just like the idea its Bella Donna in Gambit's origin film.  Its starting where it should, imo.
Thanks Mythogma for the link, and Dantay for yours too.

I'm personally hoping for Lea Seydoux. She's gonna be in Spectre which looks fantastic and she was previously in Blue is the Warmest Color which I've heard is fantastic but honestly doesn't seem like my kind of movie (I don't like foreign films).

[PS]

Exciting casting news.  Either Rebecca Ferguson and Lea Seydoux would be great picks.  Both are up-and-coming stars and more importantly great actors. 

Not feeling Abbey Lee for the role though.

[DonPriceTag]

Yep... If Gambit can't have Rogue (or what's left of her), I'd love to see him with her.

[PS]

So with Channing planning on doing a Cajun accent, do we think the other Guild cast members might too?

[Spoonz]

I didn't watch Blue is the Warmest Colour after I read an interview where Seydoux said she seriously regretted doing such explicit sex scenes in the film since she thought afterwards they were unnecessary and she was ashamed or something along those lines, but I heard she's a great actress.  So I'd hope for her really, if she can act and do action films then that's awesome! I figured that's one of the main reasons First Class and DOFP worked, Fassbender and Macavoy being really good actors.  Plus I think Tatum needs somebody good to work off and maybe encourage him to act well. 

[purplevit]

I hope they would choose Lea Seydoux,

[Sheba]

This woulda been a good question to put to Asmus back when he came to visit.

[remydat]

Lea would seem like the better fit just from her background but good god I fell in love with Rebecca Ferguson in Rogue Nation so she's got my vote.  I am sure either would be great in the role.

I do not think so. I hope at least Tatum will get a good accent.

Why wouldn't they?
