How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
They can throw Storm into Black Panther 2 pretty easily, in a way that would make sense, without having to introduce the whole team. I think they can also work Prof X in, without really introducing him as a character, in post credit scenes. The school, the wheelchair, etc..They can do so much on the slow burn because they set up the Easter eggs in the movies to this point almost flawlessly.

I’ll tell you what, for some reason Gambit was my favorite comic character next to ghost rider, and I think that Disney Marvel, if someone like Gunn wrote and directed him in as a character, Gambit would be perfect in this current MCU

Gambit was my fav too. Dude had TOO much swag and his back story is epic

Yeah, Gambit was hands down the most wasted character in the FOX X-men franchise.

I wouldn't mind one bit if they gave Gambit the role Wolverine had in the Fox movies and saved Wolverine for later. :ld:

Why not? :wtf:

They don't have to be joined at the hip. Besides, how many times have we already seen Xavier and Magneto have the same argument?


IMO it would be better to build up hype for the reintroduction of the character than to use him right away.
Depends on the writer. How many different Spider Mans have we had? Lol. Batman....the list goes on...icons are icons.

That would be a disaster to push Gambit that hard...lol. Maybe Psylocke, Storm, or Rogue but Gambit? He was played out in 97.

:jbhmm: The big question nobody is asking is should they add these characters to the MCU or have a separate universe to build all together.

The MCU is pretty much mapped out for the next 5+ years, building upon a universe that's 11 years old. It will be a challenge to bring in so many earth bound characters that has a long history. It wouldn't make sense.

The Inhumans would've been easier as their genes are locked so they making it possible for them to be on earth throughout the entire history of the MCU.

If they decide to use build a completely separate universe, they can get real creative in how they introduce characters.


My guess, is they will go the multiverse route with characters ending up on earth with all of them being trapped for good at some point. That makes the most sense.

I’m just hoping Marvel does something better than rehashing the same old storylines that Fox used.
They dont have to..they have the comic writers at their disposal...they will use Doom and Magneto the right way..everyone else? I dont know. Silver Surfer will definitely get pushed too...hes easy money.

I think you are very wrong. We are now in a cinematic age where Marvel Disney is bringing these characters to life, right from the page, and accomplishing it in a way we have never seen before. Gambit is such an interesting character, and the studio can get ANY actor they want. They would give Gambit the film adaption he deserves.

Just want Gambit to get his own flick and Cyclops to get major shine breh been sideman status for 20years
He's been sidelined status because he has no charisma and is usually outshined by Jean Grey...the real Cyclops is usually ultra loyal to everything Xavier believes in. Not the wannabe Magneto version that was in the books since 2004.

i want the xmen to stay as much is own thing as possible

the only thing i want in it is for storm and t'achalla to be a couple

and xmen to take on a more celebratory and inspirational tone

xmen is always about bigotry - racism and homophobia

but is also a story about how a bunch of discarded people become a family and have fun together

The Thieves Guild, Belladonna, Sinister...I mean..nah...that's just not a good hook. It comes off like the Twilight series with his scope and lack of versatility.

gambit whole sauve jokey persona can work with the right actor

and he does fit the tone of the current mcu

a middle between a bucky and a thor type actor

the Pepe la pew vibe he has sometimes about rogue will set off certain feminist groups though

I just want sexy rogue :noah:

sexy ass sookie played rogue and they covered her ass up :dahell:

Why not? These are characters that Fox didn't do, so it's prime territory for the MCU to do without having to worry about comparisons..

I'd take that over rehashing Xavier, Magneto, Jean, and Wolverine again.
