Sequels "Gambit" starring Channing Tatum? - Part 1

[Mr. Youtube]

Honestly, I don't know much about the Marauders, but from what I hear, I'm certain that they could simply make them Gambit's heist group, hired by a Mr. Sinister-esque figure to steal something from the Assassins' Guild in New Orleans. Of course Gambit doesn't want to do it until it becomes personal.

 

[x-er]

Sinister would be nice.

 

[The Guard]

I've gotta believe they're saving Sinister for an X-Men feature, though it would be nice to feel his presence. And they're probably hoping for a franchise, so they'll likely save the Marauders storyline for a future Gambit film or X-Men film as well.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Agreed Mr sinister is probably too big a villain for a solo movie

 

[Majik1387]

No, he's not. And honestly Gambit is a better movie to introduce him than an X-Men movie.

 

[GuestStar2004]

When you want big villains to use for x-men team movies then he probably is to big for a gambit solo and fox do not plan ahead so any thought that they would introduce a villain In a solo and progress him to a team movie probably isn't likely

 

[Majik1387]

What

 

[The Infernal]

Well I think if they want to elevate Gambit in Wolverine's absence then giving him Sinister as his villain could help boost him by giving him a strong villain, especially if they keep Sinister alive for future X-men movies. They have that connection in the comics and could be like Stryker is to Wolverine.

 

[kasjan]

Sinister!

 

[GuestStar2004]

You would have to believe they would cast someone they were willing to use again as the villain for a team movie since as I said fox do not plan out films the same way marvel do as everything seems to decided on a film by film basis

That's why I don't think Mr sinister will be a villain for gambit

 

[The Infernal]

Yet Stryker has appeared in multiple films. There doesn't need to be a hard and fast plan. Just leave it ambiguous or open ended and sign an actor for multiple films.

 

[Majik1387]

Apparently people can't handle ambiguity on the X-Forums anymore.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Just think what happened with origins when they did that? How many seeds planted have been kept in continuity? None right?

Then they started work on x-force and then shelved it because apocalypse was the villain and they wanted him for an x-men movie and yes it has been said it was shelved because of X-men: apocalypse

FOX don't plan ahead because often they ain't willing to follow through with their previous decisions and with Mr Sinister they would be at risk of doing the exact same thing

 

[Mike Murdock]

No, he's not. And honestly Gambit is a better movie to introduce him than an X-Men movie.

You figure they might want to keep the Summers angle. Then again, I should probably wait until we see how they handle Havok this time through before speculating about that.

 

[Sithborg]

Seriously, what is the issue with a fight between the two guilds? And really, Gambit is a better place to introduce Sinester instead of a film with Cyclops? Really?

 

[Lip]

Yes, I think a movie with the Summers is the best place to introduce Sinister. Definitely.

But I wouldn't mind Sinister being introduced in Gambit and then showing up in the next X-Men as the main villain.

 

[magneto23]

Why does this not have its own sub-forum? Its only a little over a year away. Movies that are 4 or 5 years away have forums on here. What gives?

 

[The Infernal]

Seriously, what is the issue with a fight between the two guilds? And really, Gambit is a better place to introduce Sinester instead of a film with Cyclops? Really?

Yes. I think so. Gambit's relationship to Sinister feels more personal than Cyclops. With Cyclops it just seems about making the next step in mutantkind through his and Jean's dna. It's not even about him. Plus with Gambit you're essentially telling the back story to 'trial of Gambit' which is a great story.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I dont think its just a case of who does the villian suit better its probably more what would benefit more from them, a team movie? Or a solo? and when they already plan on makin sequels to the solo movies you know they cant keep using more of the bigger well known villains for them

 

[The Infernal]

Whatever way you want to look at it I will still think Sinister is best suited to a Gambit film if it comes down to a choice between one or the other.

 

[Majik1387]

Yes. I think so. Gambit's relationship to Sinister feels more personal than Cyclops. With Cyclops it just seems about making the next step in mutantkind through his and Jean's dna. It's not even about him. Plus with Gambit you're essentially telling the back story to 'trial of Gambit' which is a great story.

Exactly this.

The Summers brothers always seemed like no more than tools for Sinister's work, and I get it and enjoy it, but his past with Gambit is much more enticing and interesting; and this is coming from a guy who's not uber big into Sinister.

Plus with Gambit, his rogues gallery on solo-ventures is pretty much Assassin's Guild, Marauders, and Sinister; at least the main rogues. It only makes sense for Sinister to be in his story and build up their past together, especially when one of the character sides sounds exactly like Sinister.

 

[Mr. Youtube]

It seems like every member of the X-Men has a connection too Sinister, the immortal bastard. Yeah, though, introducing him in a Gambit film isn't above his level. He's not Apocalypse, which some people tend to forget. He wouldn't even be the villain, likely just somebody who spurs Gambit to get reinvolved with the Assassins' Guild.

 

[Loki882]

Plus:

-They've done Magneto.
-They've done Mystique.
-They've done Stryker.
-They've done The Sentinels.
-They've done The Phoenix (not WELL, but they have done it).
-They're doing Apocalypse now.

So who's the only truly "iconic" X-Men villain left, Mr. Sinister.

Not true, your missing Onslaught, Shadow King, Stryfe, Omega Red, Wendigo and Nova. Sure those aren't as well known, but they are still iconic.

I would add Proteus to that as well, he was good in the AS.
