Apocalypse Gambit in the Apocalypse Movie

[CyclopsSummers]

Rogue will never be with gambit this film series because she is with iceman and they made an effort to keep that being the case, its not like the ending to DOFP keeps it open that she may be single so they can get her with gambit anyway

She can have a relation with Gambit first and then she breaks up with him and goes with Bobby

That can only happen if Gambit is solely in the OT timeline, which I don't think will be the case.

There have been unconfirmed rumors that Gambit will be in this Apocalypse movie. If so, his age will likely be around mid-20's (give or take). The fact that Tatum is cast effectively defines this.

If he is mid-20's in 1983 (which, by the way, would pretty much match what we were given for Gambit in the atrocity that was Origins) then there would almost be no way that we'd ever see Gambit and Rogue together.

In 1983 Rogue would be, around, -5 years old. That's right, she wouldn't even be born yet in this movie-verse. And it doesn't matter that Wolvie changed the timeline, conception is finite, and we saw her at the end of DoFP at the same age.

Now, if they keep Gambit out of Apocalypse, and conveniently forget that he (based on Origins) should be mid-20's in 1983, and instead make him mid-20'd in 2016, then this whole basteridized timeline of theirs becomes worse. In 2016, believe it or not, Rogue would be almost 30 years old. So I guess they could at least be compatible based on age alone, but that would very much kill any chance of using Gambit in main X-Men movies. Pretty much DoFP seemingly closed out the OT cast stories, and it doesn't look like we're going to see them back anytime soon. I guess they could use some of these characters, played by the original actors or actresses, in a Gambit movie, but the big question would have to be why.

Why put Rogue, who (IMO) was one of the worst characters (not the actress - love her) in the original movies, in with Gambit? I know, they were together in the comics, but the main issue was trust due to Gambit's background, and their inability to touch. Well, the whole touch thing has been done to death with Bobby, so no reason to rehash. And if there is going to be mistrust with Gambit then it makes sense it's with a cast that he can ultimately be a part of.

See, if they put him in Apocalypse then he can actually be a part of the team, and work with Storm, Jean, Scott, etc.

I just don't see them forcing Gambit into a timeline that is no longer the focus, mainly so he can have a difficult relationship with a poorly done character who has already had a difficult relationship...

sad but true

mais, alors, il faut que Gambit parle au moins un peu de français aux films, n'est-ce pas?

Yes. Mon ami, ma chère. Il est obligé de parler au moins quelques mots français dans le film.

In 1983 Rogue would be, around, -5 years old. That's right, she wouldn't even be born yet in this movie-verse. And it doesn't matter that Wolvie changed the timeline, conception is finite, and we saw her at the end of DoFP at the same age.

Yes old timeline or new timeline gives us Rogue at the same age. As well as Coossus Iceman Kitty are the same age. And Beast Cyclops Jean Storm Gambit are born before 1973, so it doesn t really matter to them

Did anyone else see channing tatum's post about the gambit movie coming out oct. 7, 2016!!!

 

[javon]

He also tweeted it!!!

 

[DOFP]

Yeah! Now im wondering if the Gambit movie WILL be related to Apocalypse since both movies are within months

 

[marvelrobbins]

I think chances are very good Gambit will appear In Apocalypse.It might only be a cameo or a small role with the level of screentime quicksilver got in DOFP.A post credit scene is also possable.

 

[Superhero 101]

I hope he appears in apocalypse

 

[Dead Man Dann]

Wow, that's three X-related movies within the same year. And to think there used to be three-year gaps.

And five months after Gambit, we've got a new Wolverine flick. Sweet.

 

[psylockolussus]

I am hoping Gambit doesn't appear in X-Men: Apocalypse because I want Gambit to be set in the present period.

 

[marvelrobbins]

The only way i see Gambit not being In past Is if the 2018 film Is X-Men/FF film and they want Gambit to appear In that.Otherwise they will likely be wanting him to show up In future X-Men films.

 

[combocaz]

Im actually hoping gambit wont feature in apocalypse aswell, channing tatum and anna paquin are right for the present.

I don't know about as a couple, because Iceman is still around.

But I definitely want to see Gambit and Rogue interact with each other.

 

[x-er]

Edit: Nevermind. Can't wait for 2016!!!
Just wish 2015 had something X-related.

. . . Well, there is still comic-con

 

[Duran Man]

Meh. This isn't what I meant when I said there was big news coming this week. Nevertheless, I think the Gambit movie happening so soon after Apocalypse suggests that he will be introduced there, likely in a smaller role that will be expanded in his own movie.

Quicksilver had enough of time in DOFP, it wasn't just cameo.

^ Almost without a doubt this means that we'll see Gambit in the Apocalypse movie, which means the Gambit movie will be in the past.

More than likely we'll get to see a Gambit Origin movie, which would actually (at least likely) be prior to the events of the Apocalypse movie, meaning pre-1983.

It just makes a lot of sense for Gambit's first solo movie to be an origin story (just not called that). Of course, more than likely, much of that (the pre-1983 events) will be flashbacks or such.

The question is whether or not they can use Tatum for flashbacks. I mean, if they try to make him say mid-20's in 1983 then they are already pushing the envelope age wise. Now try to tell a flashback origin story set maybe 10 years earlier, and he'd have to pass for say 15 or 16 years old. Hard to see that working...

Of all of the stories that are Gambit related the most likely to be used, IMO, is one that includes the Thieves' Guild, Assassin's Guild, the tithing, Candra, Bella Donna, etc.

If this is the story they tell as I expect, it eill be interesting to see how they do it!

But, the most likely scenerio is that Sinister will be involved with Gambit, which means we may see the villain in the Apocalypse movie since, per canon, they have been involved...

 

[kasjan]

Gambit in Origins was about 25 in 1987, so Tatum (30+) can't be in present.
90's at least.

 

[Super Jim]

^ Right, but they could play with his age maybe +/- 5 years, meaning in 1983 he could be 25, instead of the 21 he likely should be based on Origins.

Of course, this is assuming they don't retcon the whole concept of Gambit from origins. Don't get me wrong, of course I get that Origins has now never happened, but Gambit's conception has (unless they just pretend it didn't). If he was around 20 based on Origins, then he was born, likely, around 1963, which means that they can't use the "Wolverine changed the timeline" way out.

So I agree, based on everything we know Gambit (played by a 30 something Tatum) shouldn't be able to be in the present timeline. So that means no Rogue and Gambit relationship, but I've come to accept that.

So this also helps to support the idea of Gambit being in this 1983 set Apocalypse movie, at a minimum as an after credit's scene cameo, but at best a main part of the story.

In many ways I would like to see the mysterious Gambit, with the shady past, become part of the team (hopefully through his friendship with Storm) prior to his origin story being told...

 

[CaptainWagner]

Honestly, I wish they would just forget about the "present" timeline altogether, but I guess then they couldn't have more Wolverine movies. But either way, I think it's pretty much given that the Gambit film will be in the past.

 

[marvelrobbins]

The wolverine film could also be set in past.They could never reeturn to present/future
and still have Hugh Jackman as wolverine in films

 

[Octoberist]

I wish they would confirm that he'll be in X:A.

It can only help the box office for Gambit's own movie.

I think it's been more or less confirmed...he gave a sly answer to MTV about Apocalypse and he's been posting a lot of his work-out sessions on Twitter (calling it the Wolverine work-out).

He's a gym rat; but I doubt he does the "Wolverine work-out" everyday just for kicks .
