Repeat after me...Serenity now, serenity now!

There will be no peace until I get my Gambit. He was robbed from me!

 

[Retroman]

I know, i know i wanted Gambit in it as well but it's just not happening. It's the sad truth.

Maybe they will have some kind of reference to him?

 

[LadyVader]

I'm begining to think that is possible as well. I do not hate the producers and people involved with making the movie as much now. They obviously tried to get him in there but it didn't work out. Still feeling a little bitter about the whole thing, especially since for about 99% of the mutant population it did work out.

 

[ljr]

I'm mad cause they lied,if he was cast and in the movie a year ago.Then all that crap about him never really being part of the script-was lies.fox liars liars pants on fire.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

He didn't really look like Gambit anyway. Plus he was TOO much of an unknown. I mean, an 'unknown' would be great...but an 'unknown' who's played small roles in a list of some reasonable movies...this guy doesn't even have an IMDB page.

My guess is that Gambit's role would've been the equivilant of someone like Quills or Multipleman. A role where you'd probably see him standing behind Magneto for 5 minutes and get his ash kicked in the 3rd act.

 

[ljr]

I would ahve accepted that,after six yrs of waiting for him.

Nah, not for me. Gambit can provide a much deeper story than being a background Brotherhood member. It'd be a huge waste if you ask me.

I know 6+ years is a big patience-tester for Gambit fans, but I'd rather see an X4 (or Gen X) movie where he'll have a much more flavoured role.

 

[LEX]

I saw the email a while ago on Countingdown. I'm sure Gambit will be in X4, definitely, if there is one. Not sure about Scott Madej playing Gambit, though. His face looks...I don't know.

 

[Maze]

Arad told it a a time they wanted to cast a Gambit (he said that they wanted a major name , for an X4)

Donner said that they tried an actor ( i forgot his name)

Holloways said that they pursued him..

the guy was going to be there.

Sorry for all the Gambit fans, really.

Wow. That's a lot of people.

Make up your damn mind, Fox.

I'm gonna play the devil advocate , but Arad said month ago that Gambit was somewhere , and Donner made the "mistake" of saying that they had tried channing.

Fox has a problem of intern communication to sustain his lies

Out of that list Holloway is the only decent choice and even that one I don't really aproove of.

Seriously, Gambit is a pretty complex character. You play him too arrogant, he'll come off like a smug bastard. You play him too soft, he'll look like a wimp. It will be extremely hard to find an actor to really do the character justice, and I sorta understand why Fox wants to stay away from that. Think about it.. we have been waiting a heck of a long time. We will not accept anything short of perfection!
