I don't want him being 100% villain and don't believe he will be at all. If rumor is him getting a spinoff, and since it's confirmed Tatum is playing him, I don't see 100% villain happening.
He's most likely gonna be same age range as Scott, Jean and Ororo; if anyone Nightcrawler is gonna be the younger one.
Makes no sense what you're saying.
I have, I believed, already proven that Nightcrawler will pretty much have to be either 19 or 20 years old.
While Scott, Jean and Ororo should be anywhere from 13 through 18, give or take.
Nightcrawler should be the older one, but not by enough to matter.
But Gambit will need to be the oldest, not only based on what we know from Origins, but also from the fact that it's Tatum who will be playing him. My estimate is that he should be mid to late 20's, which makes perfect sense for the actor.
Yes, they can play him four different ways with that age.
1. He could be the loner who is working for the bad guys, but then realizes he's on the wrong side and switches at the right time, saving the heroes and making himself into one at the same time.
2. He could be a full-on baddie, maybe without control. For example, he could be the Horseman War or Pestilence (or Death - though I want to see Wolvie in that spot). At the end of the movie he would, of course, be freed from whatever control the villains had on him, making him ready for his solo flick.
3. They can try to integrate him in as "one of the kids", though IMO this would come off stupid. He's not a kid in 1983 (in this movie-verse). He's not new to using his powers. And he won't need, nor want, Professor X to "train" him.
4. They can go the "big brother" route for him, likely for Ororo, just like in the comics. This makes him part of the team, while maintaining his personality, and makes sense age-wise as compared to the others. They can still integrate the "working for the baddies" angle if they want (just like in the comic). IMO this is by far the best route for this movie, IF Gambit is actually in it.
