Dang, I just that this could be fan art. Nice fan art, but nothing to speculate about.


Edit: ok, now I just found out they are from a quiz/game on marvel’s instagram. (I need to get out of quarantine!)

Yes. That pic from cbr.
It is not a fan art. It was used by Marvel on their instagram poll.

Don't say I never gave y'all anything.  :smitten:


(Was a link to the 2015 Gambit movie script)


I'll keep the link open for a couple days. Download etc etc.


Hey, thanks! I've been hearing details about this script for a while, but have never been able to find it online. I think it's a decent script and has some great characterization of Gambit. He's a smartass and a badass! But I think it's very possible for the MCU to do better. I realize that some people would not like to know what's in it, so I will use spoiler tags to be safe. All my personal opinions, of course.



*It was annoying to see an awesome character like Jean-Luc Lebeau wasted to further such a generic plot device. He has such an interesting father-son dynamic with Remy in the comics and you don't get to see that at all here.


*Speaking of characters being MIA, where the heck was Tante Mattie?! She's basically Gambit's mom. And what about Lapin? And while Jake was in the script, he was tragically underused. These characters would have made the plot feel much less generic. What really always made Gambit's solo series great (besides Gambit himself, of course) was the colourful cast of secondary characters in his life. I feel like some of them are underused or just plain absent here. This is one of the reasons I've always thought Gambit would work best as a TV series.


*I wasn't a fan of how the Thieves Guild was presented here. They are more of this ragtag band of petty thieves and not a crime syndicate. In a series, I would kinda like to see both families own and operate seemingly legitimate corporations that are really just a front for two crime syndicates fighting for control of the New Orleans underworld.


*On the assassin side, I enjoyed Belladonna. But I did kind of wish there were a little less emphasis on their relationship. Kind of a lot for an action movie. And while I don't mind it when they race/sex bend characters, I didn't see any point in changing Marius's sex. In fact, it kind of made Belladonna look weak and indecisive by comparison. Bella always looks so badass in part because she took over her dad's murder business and is an excellent leader whom people fear. She is a woman in this male-dominated group of killers and she is THE boss b*tch. Drop-dead gorgeous, but also dangerous with a cruel streak.


*The final confrontation between Gambit and Sinister felt a bit anticlimactic to me. I'm not even sure why.

I'm all for a revival/sequel to the animated series.

@Hairlesscat, compelet agree. I didn't like Guilds in script. They were like just like simple burglars from Layman's bad solo. They needed their own rules, ancient traditions, secret info library. Also their own money, clubs and other stuff like in John Wick movies.


It was 2015 second draft. Probably next drafts changed it for better.
Gambit was awesome in it. Loved scene with orange. So dangerous.


Also plan with envelopes. Really smart.


Third act with big thievery is very good written for me.


I am sure that D+ can give more in 6 hours then movie in 2.
But I am sure that we won't get some awesome stuff in D+ thay we could have in that movie.
Also feel bad for Tatum. But it seems he agreed with Disney that he moves away from Gambit project and will be making other projects for Disney.

The guild could have been shown in better light but the story was already to cramped.  Focusing on the guild with have taken the focus away from Remy.  Remy was shown to be very similar to the Claremount era Gambit dangerous, sexy n the journey of his character was good. 
Hoped with some tweak to the script we could have seen a Gambit movie if Fox didn't cut the budget.

I don't think it would have taken very much time to establish that the New Orleans Thieves Guild was an organization of elite thieves. A couple of lines about it towards the beginning followed by a montage of his thief training could have done the trick. They could even have extended the run time a little if it were that big of a concern.


I mean, let's be honest: if Jean-Luc hadn't adopted Remy, Remy would probably still be picking pockets and running petty scams. He had talent, but he needed training. This script makes it seem like he was already going to be a master thief without Jean-Luc and the Guild.


Also, don't worry! I'm sure we'll get even more Gambit badassery in the MCU.  ;D

How I saw it, Dani ends up locked in the sanitarium. She had to get there somehow which means she had a life before it. This could ha e been it. Sam with Madrox. He was arrested as a bank robber in X3. Gambit could have been his starting point. Especially being a member of the Guild.
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
