Tatum wanting it a smaller scale and more personal sounded like a very good idea actually, especially a "Heist" movie

[@ZeldaQueen64]

Especially since Gambit's backstory is so tied to his past as a thief, it feels more more fitting than "action rom com". Given how Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-man, and Endgame showed how successful superhero heist movies can be, it would be amazing (if unlikely) for Disney to give it another look.

[@cable7152]

Could've been like the first Antman movie. I really hope he makes a cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine, considering he just worked with Ryan and Shawn Levy in Free Guy.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

It genuinely pisses me off that the only reason they kept shelving Gambit in the X-Men movies is because Bryan Singer had such a massive raging hard-on for Wolverine he did not want anyone stealing any screentime - or audience attention - from Logan. And then Singer just abandons the franchise because as it turns out he had an even bigger raging hard-on for Superman.

[@TheFantaFruitTwist]

And let us not forget his raging hard on for young boys.

[@aaroncrilly2005]

I think Marvel needs a mixture of films and TV series to really do a deep dive into mutants lore.

[@acehole4788]

Yea bc it's been working so well already right?

[@Magdalena8008s]

No. They just need to tell a good in whatever medium they choose. Now that Iger is back and Feige has control again they removed the mandate Chapek had. Less projects better quality. We don't need more things or less really. Just make whatever they do good. Simple as that.

[@CyclopsX23Rogue]

@@Magdalena8008s No. the xmen universe is way too massive to not go big with it, theres too many fan favorites to the point simple xmen movies every few years will never be able to do them justice, mutants alone could carry their very own cinematic universe

[@omarxperez]

⁠@@CyclopsX23Rogue yes but mutants also deserve to share the big screen or tv screen with other marvel characters. they definitely can carry a universe and franchise by themselves but could you imagine living in a world where mutants are in one universe and other marvel characters are in another universe and they NEVER cross?? that would be depressing

After watching X-men 97’s Gambit. I really hope the MCU does his character justice if they bring him to live action. I love Wolverine as much as the next fan but come on let other characters have the spotlight for once…

[@djpegao]

I like how the show has actually given us so little wolverine, they've made everyone feel important while giving the team a proper spotlight

[@jack_rabbit]

agreed. x-men is a team, not the wolverine show. EVERYONE should have spotlight moments and team up moments, and healthy character arcs.

[@kaponosucks]

Wolverine hasn’t been the spotlight in a X-men movie since 2014

[@FuzzyFoot58]

Disney just announced a few days ago that they will "focus on the female characters" in the next X-Men movie. So, more feminism and DEI is to be expected.

[@Andrew-po8nt]

Gambit and Rogue were always more popular than Wolverine, and Cyclops was always the leader, but they never did him justice in the movies. Even Jubilee was a huge part of the 90's cartoon, but in the movies they basically switched Jubilee's arc for Rogue.

[@In_the_Pod]

2:51 Since Lost, I've always thought he'd be the perfect Gambit. He's got the perfect attitude and voice.

This actually sounds like it would’ve been an alright movie only thing that’s kinda wack is the Sinister being his father twist

[@davidjames579]

Remy, I am your father

[@mrcritical6751]

I find it weird that Fox were so desperate to do Mr Sinister during this era but it just never worked out. Between the Apocalypse post credits, the Essex drug plot point in this movie, Essex owning the orphanage in Deadpool 2 and his cut appearances in New Mutants and Dark Phoenix it’s just so weird they built him up but never did a single thing with him

[@davidjames579]

Also in Logan. They're the main villains.

[@bofo85]

Pretty certain they were building up to Sinister but much like the Gambit movie, it got dumped once Disney bought Fox

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Mr sinister is a cool looking character

[@flexinjoss4727]

feels like a thanos that never got 2 b used 4 the fox universe

[@mrcritical6751]

@@flexinjoss4727 pretty much. Also didn’t help that they weren’t communicating between productions. I heard both New Mutants and Dark Phoenix originally had Sinister actually make an appearance but in one he was played by Antonio Bandaras and in the other he was played by John Hamm. And this isn’t the only time this happened, the Apocalypse and Logan teams didn’t communicate and accidentally created two completely separate versions of the same character played by two completely different actors

[@optimascrime5235]

A Mutant Oceans 11 could still have potential if made right

[@pq9254]

For sure! I love the oceans movies. Imagine gambit and a few other mutants pulling off a heist and fighting sinister. Thats something marvel needs, different and fun

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Yes

[@jonathancampbell5231]

If that's the script, they would have done Sinister dirty. He sounds like just a regular human mad scientist / evil businessman, rather than an immortal Victorian genius who has a bunch of powers himself Gambit should haven't have been a romance or a comedy; it should have been a tragedy, leading up to the Morlock Massacre and Gambit's part in it. Assembling a crew for Sinister to commit crimes in the lead up to this sounds like a good idea, but Sinister himself needed to be a more imposing and dangerous villain, who wouldn't need his henchmen to kick Gambit's ass. Ending the movie with Sinister winning and Gambit fleeing in guilt and horror would have packed more of a punch imo.

[@KEDARUNIVERSE]

That’s the whole point sinister would have started off ass a normal mad scientist then down the years he would have been the big bad for the xmen films

When wolverine and Deadpool fixes the marvel movies we might finally get a chance to see Gambit in a X-Men movie properly portrayed

[@fireblastbo32]

Great video, the plot sounds fun and Channing Tatum is cool casting. Mr. Sinister as a villain would be great, he's a major antagonist who hasn't seen the big screen yet and with the right actor could be a stellar villain for an X-Men movie. My suggestion for a video would be What Could Have Been: Tim Story's Fantastic Four 3. I know you talked about Fantastic Four 2015 already and those movies were briefly mentioned in the video but I think it would make for a great video.

[@freshparkfilms]

Gambit is one of my favorite X-Men, and since I grew up in that divided guild group environment I really could identify what it's like to deal with that shit

Channing Tatum could do the cajun accent justice, he even looks like Gambit.

You know what’s about Channing is he wants to dawn the role of Gambit. Meaning It’s not like everyone is against him saying “he’s not a perfect cast” like Huge Jackman Rober Downey or Patrick Stewart. He is willing, genuinely loves the universe and X-men and wants to do the character right which is more than anyone of us could ask for from a role like this.

I really hope Gambit is done justice if he appears in the MCU. Been a fan of his ever since X Men animated series and X Men 97 has only made me like him more. The idea of a heist film sounds perfect for Gambit given his backstory. 50/50 on whether Channing Tatum would have been the right actor to play Gambit. I guess we'll never know 🤷‍♂️

[@akilbrazier1421]

I remember back when the movie was first being talked about and Tatum was first attached to the role. People were shitting on the idea but I always thought it had potential and that Tatum was a good pick. Now I’m hearing about the original script, and it confirmed it for me. Because that sounded like it would’ve been a cool movie. I don’t want to put too many hopes into this, but it would be cool if either Tatum makes an appearance as Gambit in DP&W, or if he becomes the officially Gambit of the MCU going forward. Or hell, maybe even both!

[@Deoxys911]

I think there's a very good possibility that we see him finally get to play Gambit in one of the Phase 5 or 6 MCU projects, at least as a cameo if nothing else.
