‘Gambit’ Has Been Delayed to Summer 2019 for A Very Unexpected Reason
- Thread starter Rychu
- Start date
On the other hand, this is a movie and these characters need only be templates. Tatum can give Gambit whatever template he wants, and he does Southern characters very well. I expect this movie to be very good and so should everyone else. Tatum is good at his craft and this is right in his wheelhouse. That comic writers haven't made Gambit work is entirely irrelevant - comic writers aren't creating this.
Deadpool had a lot to draw from to make that movie as good as it did and had Reynolds pushing the project as hard as possible to do it right including keeping the script writers around. This has... Channing Tatum and one of the lamer Marvel characters whose know for his drawl and throwing cards that blow up.
Then get Jonah Hill.
Then make a third Jump Street movie instead.
What the hell?
"Heavily comedic tone" is not what you associate with Gambit
A proper Gambit movie would be Gambit getting scammed by some gangsters or something, and he has to find them, and its a pseudo-detective movie. In his pursuit of the gangsters, he stumbles upon some super power related thing and it goes from there.

I think that Disney isn't interested in edgy gritty comic book movies but superhero movies with jokes is very much Marvel's M.O. I could see them not cancelling this movie just because of how well it fits.
Since comic book movies are now moving into every genre, they should've maybe made this one a drama/romance one.
Anyway Gambit is the best and it sucks that his movie is probably gonna suck

By 12 fans you mean Gambit's 12 clones right?
They gotta find something to do.
He's gonna steal the recipe for Popeye's back from a cloned Huey Long and his Baton Rouge cronies.
Based on comic fan comments he's really a love it or hate it kind of character with very little middle ground.
I don't know, a comedic Gambit movie sounds pretty good to me. Can't say I adore the guy but I always thought he was an interesting X-character.
True. And yet for anyone who grew up on 90's cartoons, Gambit is super cool as he was one of the more interesting characters in the Saturday morning X-Men TV show. He's far more popular than Deadpool ever was, despite his lack of success in the comics. Deadpool needed a push because no one who didn't know comics even had a clue who he was. People know who Gambit is and they like him already.
Gambit is my second favorite X-men, below Cyclops.
His best possible movie would be Blade Runner with super powers, which unfortunately isn't something that sells. He's a difficult character to make a movie for, because he appeals to something not a lot of people actually like, which is why he doesn't have so many fans.
I like Gambit and all, but I don't think he dwells too much on the nature of his own humanity
Why are some posters brining up Disney when they can't call the shots on Fox's movie division yet?
The deal will go through November 2018-early 2019 so they are thinking Disney can pull the plug before movie releases. Again though Disney doesn't have a problem with superhero comedies, that's exactly what Marvel is.
Would Rogue even be able to actually do it with someone without killing them?
