I want to see a Gambit movie. But i'd like to see a Rogue one...because we'd see the real Rogue and Gambit as well.
Having a Gambit movie for the sake of ROMY would be a huuuuge mistake. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the whole ROMY thing, but there is so much more to both of those characters and when they have them together, the actual character development tends to disappear completely. And both characters are too good to waste like that.
Remy can hold a movie and, more importantly, his powers are very visual. If they want an action flick, then Gambit is the obvious choice given his background and powers. They could do it like a spy movie (except, obviously, he's a thief) and I bet people would see it. Everybody knows Gambit. Anyone who grew up watching TAS knows and loves him, and people
would go see it.
On the other hand, Emma offers something that Gambit doesn't - a hot nearly naked chick. And while everybody loves a good naked woman, that gimmick doesn't work as well when it comes to carrying entire movies as people think (Catwoman, anyone?). If they did a sort of history of Emma Frost, an origin thing, people would just be wondering who the hell she was the entire time. Comics fans might like it, but it wouldn't appeal to as large an audience as a Gambit one would.
If they do it right, whichever (if either) they do, should lead into the next X-Movie; end with some connection to the X-Men in the current movieverse so that if/when they do another film, there'll be an easy way for the characters to come in without worrying too much about backstory.
