Channing Tatum to play Gambit

[manyfaces]

So with Gambit i know about the thieves guild, rivalry with the assassins and him being involved with the Morlock slaughters in some fashion. What else does he have going for him to fill out a solo movie, let alone franchise? I know he was popular from the 90's cartoon, hell after wolverine he was probably the most over, but what has he had going since then?

a horseman, dealing with the fear of what his powers can actually do, mentoring x-23, the x-factor stuff(which i doubt would ever happen) and just generally stealing shyt when they want a cameo out of him

X-Men: Another Possible 'Gambit' Movie Villain Revealed

Gambit might have more than one adversary in his upcoming solo film, but it's probably not the one you're thinking of.

The spinoff film has moved around quite a bit on the schedule, but it seems things are starting to move in the right direction. A recent casting breakdown seems to indicate a callback to the comics, one you might not expect. The casting breakdown obtained by That Hashtag Show reads "Supporting Character (30-40) Rosa’s fiancé, villain with metrosexual charm. Should be physically imposing."

That could be a few people, but the "Rosa's fiance" and "villain" terms are key. Going by those the film could be casting for a Mr. Donyell Taylor, who you might know as Bandit or the second Night Thrasher. Donyell is Dwayne Taylor's half-brother, who is the New Warrior's original Night Thrasher. Donyell would eventually run into Gambit's ex-wife Belladonna Boudreaux, and the two would date until Gambit interferes in Belladonna's best interests.

The film is rumored to feature Mr. Sinister and a number of Assassins for Remy to face, so it isn't a stretch to think that Donyell (or someone like him) could figure into the storyline. Donyell would likely be an early foe for Gambit to tackle (especially with that villain tagline) before Mr. Sinister and would play well with the Oceans Eleven Romeo & Juliet vibe that the project is rumored to be going for.

Gambit has been in development for some time and has gone through its share of directors. Throughout all of it though Channing Tatum has continued to be attached, and it seems that patience is finally starting to pay off. Gambit will be directed by Gore Verbinski and is set to start shooting in March.

I heard that he grew up on the bayou, so he might actually have the accent naturally.

‘Gambit’s March Production Start In NOLA Has Been Given The Axe

When it was announced that director Gore Verbinski was exiting the Gambit production it seemed like we should have been bracing for a production shake-up concerning the filming dates. However, we had word that Fox was still aiming towards that March start in New Orleans, Lousiana as we previously reported.

Omega Underground has confirmation that Gambit has been pulled for the time being off production schedules and I assume until a director has been found will be placed on hiatus until new dates can be scheduled dependent on who directs.

I also wouldn’t be shocked “if” filming moves from Lousiana to Montreal, Quebec. Montreal (has doubled multiple cities) has been a reliable locale for the X-Men franchise and the Canadian city also could have some open space, that’s if Big Easy Studios ends up offering the stage space to another production.

There’s a good chance we’re looking a summer shoot for Gambit considering the recent release date change. Fox recently switched Gambit’s release date from February 14th, 2019 to June 7th, 2019.
