Sequels "Gambit" starring Channing Tatum? - Part 3

[psylockolussus]

So much hope.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Apparently Francis Lawrence and Gore Verbinski were in negotiation for directing Gambit but they moved on.

Damn, Francis Lawrence is one of my choices for the main series, he is a really good director.

 

[TheNewSlayer]

I still feel like there are better characters for them to do solo movies either than Gambit.

Storm, Cyclops and Rogue have a huge past with many things. But I know I know, Storm, Cyclops and Rogue were used in the movies so to tell their story again from beginning would mess up the timeline even more.

Cyclops story would be to complicated in a way. His Dad is a space pirate who throw him and Havok from a plane to save themselves, then they got separated, cyclops end up joining the x-men, meets Jean, Jean dies, meets Madeline Prior, have his kid Cable, goes to the future to live with Jean to raise Cable, then comeback to present leaving Cable there so that he has a chance. And this is just the early 80s. Currently in the comics Cyclops is dead and his past teen version came to the future in 2013. Wow.

I think there is probably more to it when it comes to what characters they choose to give solos too.

Gambit likely has a personality they feel could carry a movie as a leading man aswell as being able to put in some Melee fights for a cool visual.

The whole idea of making a Gambit movie is not because the character has potential or not. Is because Fox asked the actor which x-men character he would like to play and he answered that he loves Gambit. That's it. Do a little resource online and you'll find out about this.

I don't feel like Gambit has a potential to carry a series of movies. Gambit is more of a loner, he's a good thief against humans but when he faces mutants he always gets captured and some x-men goes to his rescue. He is also not a leader. I don't remember to ever seeing Gambit to lead a group of mutants in the comics.

I really think this movie has the potential to be another 2015 Fantastic Four. Specially since is made by Fox.

Fox has the bad habit of getting weird and unknown mutants to their solo movies. See X-Men Origins wolverine how many weird mutants they used, Agent Zero, that black guy who teleports, that guy who controls electricity. The Wolverine movie, that poison woman which I don't even think is a character from the comics. Logan, many non famous mutants, having only Professor X, X-23 and Logan as known mutants.

If they do a Gambit movie they instead of using interesting mutant characters like Rogue, Psylocke, or whoever, they'll use mutants that nobody even ever heard of.

In closing argument, I really don't see a Gambit movie working.

Instead Fox could focus in 2 different x-men movies. One having the classic team, Jean, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Angel, and another movei with lesser known mutants like the New Mutants with some known mutants like Storm and Professor X in it.

They had him in origin for a potential spin off also and then they kept him on the shelf for several year with the producers saying they still believed in getting a gambit solo movie made one day.

I agree that Gambit shouldn't have a solo series but i don't think your view of the character is accurate at all. Gambit is a master thief, with or without his powers. He's one of the best in the marvel universe. Since when does he ALWAYS get captured? And even if that were true, his team mates rescuing is pretty much a given considering they're team mates. That happens to all the X-men. Ever kept track of all the times Wolverine was captured and the others had to save him? Also, him being a leader has nothing to do with solo movies, you said it yourself, he's a loner. But if you wanna see Gambit lead a team read Gambit and the X-ternals. He did an awesome job.

 

[Frankeh]

Channing Tatum isn't enough to get this movie made.

More and more directors are passing on this.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

I don't feel like Gambit has a potential to carry a series of movies.

Neither does Captain America that's why all three of his movies has huge supporting cast.


A Gambit movie with 2 - 3 (Rogue, Psylocke or Jubilee) supporting X-Men is perfect.

 

[Weather Witch]

I really wish Fox would just get rid of Tatum and find someone who is willing to play Gambit in the main X-Men movies instead. I know he really wants the role, but this solo movie thing just isn't working.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I don't think its tatum thats stopping Gambit being in a main X-Men movie, they have wanted to do a solo for a while its just tatum made fox finally move it forward.

Tatum specifically says he doesn't want to appear in a team movie before doing a solo movie.

But that’s not the sort of introduction Tatum has in mind for Gambit. Instead, he wants to make sure audiences understand who Gambit is before the character is forced to share the screen with a bunch of other mutants. Speaking with MTV News, Tatum says he doesn’t want Gambit appearing in any other film – like X-Men: Apocalypse, for instance – until “you know who he is.”

Ryan Reynolds is the current savior of the X-verse. Until there's a Deadpool related bomb I wouldn't look for other spin-offs.

That's ridculas.fox isn't stopping all non-deadpool films.The gifted is following legion on TV and it's full speed ahead on new mutants.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Naw.... Not all X-Men fans like Deadpool and they definitely don't want that being the only non X-MEN film.

Also Channing Tatum has been considered for Gambit since Last Stand. Gambit was to be in Last Stand originally and Lauren was going to cast Channing Tatum after working with him on She's the Man back in 2005. Which filmed roughly the same time as Last Stand both in Vancouver. So Lauren has had her eye on Tatum even way back before he was famous. He's just helped the project along becoming more recognised. So I would say to you do a bit more looking online also. They decided to add Gambit into Wolverine with the character eventually to take off. But as we know Origins wasn't what they expected and they scrapped the idea until Channing and Lauren started talking about it again.

 

[Neptune]

Channing and Lauren are not doing the character any good with their stubbornness.

 

[psylockolussus]

Damn, Francis Lawrence is one of my choices for the main series, he is a really good director.

I would be up for that.

 

[samsnee]

They announced 3 X-men movies for next year and this wasn't one of them. Can we assume it's dead?

 

[Smilodon]

Didn't they say they were looking to shoot Gambit next year though? Why would they announce it was going to film this year then?

 

[BeholdMe]

Didn't they say they were looking to shoot Gambit next year though? Why would they announce it was going to film this year then?

Where was this stated, I heard absolutely nothing about this movie?

 

[ImSGirl95]

Where was this stated, I heard absolutely nothing about this movie?

I think Kinberg said something like that couple of months ago. "Early next year" about shooting Gambit.
But Gambit has been shooting "early/late next year" for a few years now, so who knows.

 

[The Endless]

Deadpool and Wolverine are the only X related characters who can carry a solo comic. Same applies to films.

No one gives a **** about any other individual X character. And it will stay that way until a true visionary comes along and does something really special.

This movie was announced in 2014 and here we're are several years later and no word so they basically need to put gambit in X-Menark Phoenix. His character would work well with the 90s period, perhaps if Sinister is the main villain the writers could play with that, or they could develop his relationship with Storm and he can fill that bad boy role that's vacant since we have no Logan to compete with. One of the reasons he wasn't in the OT because they thought his character was to "similar" to Logan. His arc can be either villain turned good or reformed thief trying to fit in with X-Men.

 

[Weather Witch]

I'd rather we not have one of those type of characters for a while. Or maybe use Angel to fill that role instead.
