Would you rather see a Gambit Or Emma Frost movie? They both werent featured in any of the X-Men movies but Emma Frost is still getting a spinoff movie. I personally want a Gambit movie.

Neither.
Spinoffs shouldn't happen at all, let alone for a character that never appeared in the movies.

Well, comic wise, an Emma Frost movie. She's more important pretty much in every aspect and more interesting as well (well, for me at least). I'm just amazed why they didn't introduce her in the first three movies. :\
A Gambit movie would be more succesful, though. He's more widely known and even if he's not that important, he is more popular (at least amongst the general audience, who necessarily haven't read the comics all that much). The Emma movie will most likely flop if they decide to go through with it.
Neither of the characters actually deserve a movie of their own. Nor can they actually support a movie all by themselves, they need other characters around them (especially Emma, she just doesn't work by herself). As big of an Emma fan as I am, I'm not too sure if I want to see her in her own movie. I'd much prefer her to appear in X4 (if they make it).

That doesn't make any sense. Both characters have had plenty of Non X-Related storylines. It'd be no different than making a movie about Daredevil.
gambit can definately hold his own in a movie... he has almost as big of a story before joining xmen than wolverine
Both characters CAN support a movie on their own. What makes you believe otherwise? Anyone can have a movie made around some story in their lives. I mean, look at any movie out there now. Most of them are made around characters infinitely less complex / interesting than Gambit or Emma. All you have to do is look at either of them from a perspective that doesn't directly include the X-Men, so the characters in question can take center stage.
Gambit belongs to a thieves guild that is permanently at war with an assassins' guild. He freelances his skills for shody characters like Sinister (and plenty of others) and has a lot of crap happen to him, emotionally and otherwise. During the course of his undoubtedly exciting jobs, he also manages to get morlocks butchered and get himself forced into marrying a daughter of the rival guild. Remember the movie Ronin, with De Niro? Even something like that could be done around Gambit.
Regarding Emma, same principle applies. She's a powerful telepath from the start, who knows prof-x. She's involved with the Hellfire club, its inner circle and all its political plays, and the management of a team of mutants, not unlike the x-men in terms of structure, who act to forward the club's interests. They made movies about Blade. Blade just kills vampires. Emma does/can do a whole lot more.
As long as the movies are well done and portray the characters and their lives in a believable and entrancing way, I'm ok with them doing as many spinoffs as they want.
I'd love to see both but I'd like a Gambit movie more.. I hate that he wasn't involved in any of the x-men movies.

They both should be in X-Men movies instead. Then if they have a big following...give them a solo-movie.

Agreed with this. Firstly in the xmovies, then whatever they want to do...
And between the two, I'm more interested in Gambit. I want to see him soon on the big screen.

They should just be put in and X-4 movie as new group of x-men. Lead by Storm, Wolverine and a returning Xavier when he is needed the most.
This is just my opinion. I just don't think you can have an x-men movie without Jackman, Stewart or McKellen.
Well this will be my last post for about a week or so in this forum for i am having Gal Bladder surgery. I only wish i did have my name sakes mutant powers.

I would like it even more if Gambit had a direct to DVD movie like Marvel did for The Avengers. With great animation of course.
i think a gambit movie would do well if they never mentioned anything about xmen...

NONE. I don't understand both of them's appeal. Gambit is this annoying dude with an anoying prescence. And Emma is just a ****.

Niether because not only do they not need spinoffs but Fox would f**k up the movies anyway.
You are probably right. Gambit would probably be portrayed how all the Gambit Haters view him. A Gambit movie could work if they got Fabian Nicieza to write the script. Or at least someone who has read Gambit's first ongoing series. That is how Gambit should be handled.

I love both characters but Gmabit is more charming and plus that whole Rogue/Gambit thing is kinda cute. I'd love to see that in the movies.

It really does not make sense for them to have a Spin-off since there was nothing for them to spin-off of. If I had to choose i would choose Emma, just because the fanboy cry babies shouldnt get what they want just because they want it.

Oh, that makes sence. "You can't have the Gambit movie because you want it." :mad:
Do you seriously believe that Emma Frost can carry her own movie better than Gambit? I guess everyone is entitled to their own oppinion.:confused:
I do agree with you on the part about having nothing to spin-off of. I think they should introduce them in the X-Men movies first. Then they should think about their spin-offs.

I think both of these movies could do well for a spinoff. With the Emma Frost movie I can see them not going by the comics more than the Gambit movie. Like maybe they would give Emma better fighting skills or something. But I like the idea of a Emma Frost movie :up:
I want to see a Gambit movie. But i'd like to see a Rogue one...because we'd see the real Rogue and Gambit as well.

How can you have a spin off for a character that never appeared in the movie? It's stupid...
Gambit would be the better choice for his own movie though.
But both these characters should have been introduced in the X-men movies to entitle the to spin offs.

Having a Gambit movie for the sake of ROMY would be a huuuuge mistake. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the whole ROMY thing, but there is so much more to both of those characters and when they have them together, the actual character development tends to disappear completely. And both characters are too good to waste like that.
Remy can hold a movie and, more importantly, his powers are very visual. If they want an action flick, then Gambit is the obvious choice given his background and powers. They could do it like a spy movie (except, obviously, he's a thief) and I bet people would see it. Everybody knows Gambit. Anyone who grew up watching TAS knows and loves him, and people would go see it.
On the other hand, Emma offers something that Gambit doesn't - a hot nearly naked chick. And while everybody loves a good naked woman, that gimmick doesn't work as well when it comes to carrying entire movies as people think (Catwoman, anyone?). If they did a sort of history of Emma Frost, an origin thing, people would just be wondering who the hell she was the entire time. Comics fans might like it, but it wouldn't appeal to as large an audience as a Gambit one would.
If they do it right, whichever (if either) they do, should lead into the next X-Movie; end with some connection to the X-Men in the current movieverse so that if/when they do another film, there'll be an easy way for the characters to come in without worrying too much about backstory.

They shouldn't do a spin off of Emma or Gambit because it's not gonna work, look at what happened to Hulk, Punisher & Elektra those three have some huge fanbase but look at what happened, it fails. Emma and Gambit are not that popular they are known because of the title X-men so they should appear in an X-men movie not a spin off.

I didn't say Punisher was bad, all I'm trying to say is that it didn't turn out to be that great as many fans expected. And it didn't become a box office hit.
Hulk - For me Hulk is a good film, and Hulk has a huge fanbase, but it didn't turn out great aswell.
Elektra - No comment
Emma or a Gambit movie would turn out to be just like a Catwoman movie.

i totally disagree both of the characters are very interesting and given what we know about Gambit he can really make a good movie just on him.
It all depends on good writing and directing.

06-12-2006, 01:03 AM
I also disagree on what you said, a Gambit solo movie will be boring even if they have the greatest writer and director, first of all Gambit's fame started with the X-men, and I hate to say this but, Gambit is not that popular compared to Wolverine.
And what will Gambit do in his movie? be a thief? and a hero at the same time? Catwoman did that already and it sucked.
Gambit is one of my favorite characters but I don't think he's that popular to have his own movie.

Well I would prefer a Gambit movie, but really and truly neither one of them should have thier own movie unless it can stand on it's own. You can't even define them as spin-offs since neither one of the characters were featured in the 3 X-men movies. I agree with people that say save them for X4.....and then they can develop a spin-off on one or both of the characters.

He doesn't have to be a Hero and being a thieve with powers is fine and how are you going to compare him to Catwoman if his character is alot more popular so he isn't Wolverine who cares Wolverines overrated anyways, i think alot of X-Men not just Gambit can hold their own in a movie.
Im sorry i don't want to say you attacked me but you where awfully quick to respond and the Catwoman comparison that was bad. :O
Edit- another thing they havn't been in the X-Men movies so they won't have to suffer as a spin-off :p

Sorry man, I think my replies are a bit harsh.:) I like Gambit better than Catwoman, and I only compared them because they have a little similarity.
I think Gambit is very blessed because he doesn't appear in the 3 Wolverine movies and maybe someday he can be portrayed by a good writer and director on an X-men movie.
I don't think either should have their own movie,their just can't carry one.Have them in the x-kids spin-off.

A Gambit or Emma movie technically wouldn't be spin-offs ;)
and as far as making a movie for them it can be done and better yet i would prefer they don't even emphasis their X-men status just that maybe they are in the same world.

Everyone keeps saying that, but I disagree. I'm sure they would reference mutation and the struggle that mutants endure as expressed in the X-Men films.
Of course, if that's not enough, since I'm sure Fox would WANT these to be spinoffs, there'd most likely be a couple of appearances from established characters, even if they're just minor ones (like, say, having Gambit toss some cards in the direction of Vinnie Jones' Juggernaut).

and on the gambit/emma not being a spinoff...
personally i wouldn't consider it a spinoff. and despite the fact that they are in the comics i couldnt really associate them with the xmen. i loved the movies first so thats what i mainly associate with the xmen rather than aall of the characters of the comics that either arent mentioned in the movies or were in it without a speaking part....the only reason i think i could is if there were some of the original xmen trilogy characters in there...
btw...i heard gambit was actually gonna be in the third movie but the actor later declined. is this true?
