Once Gambit and the rest of the X-Men are introduced into the MCU you'll be glad you bought this poster when you did! Gambit stormed on to the scene way back in Uncanny X-Men 266. Since then he's remained a popular and mysterious addition to the X-Men mythos. Able to manipulate kinetic energy, he's famous for charging up playing cards and throwing them with dangerous precision! Gambit also made his movie debut in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He's been a member of various X-Men teams and even once became a Horseman of Apocalypse! During the epic Avengers vs X-Men he does battle with Captain America himself! As of this writing he has joined Peter David's Uncanny X-Factor! Gambit is a mutant who has the ability to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to pure light pink- colored kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with highly explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object: the larger it is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. Gambit can also use his mutant abilities to accelerate an object's kinetic energy instead of converting its potential energy; for example, he can charge his Bo staff with enough kinetic energy and power to level a house. Remy is best known for his on-again, off-again romance with Rogue. To his credit, he's stuck by her side even though she could not risk touching him for fear her powers might cripple or kill him (or even worse, absorb his memories.) After Scott and Jean, Rogue and Gambit's relationship is probably the most popular in all the X-Men mythos! Gambit has also appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he is portrayed by actor Taylor Kitsch. It was confirmed on May 13, 2014 that a Gambit spin-off is in the works, with Gambit portrayed by Channing Tatum. Producer Simon Kinberg, who seems to be utilizing the lesson that has sustained Marvel Studios for the past eight years – superhero movies can be a vessel to tell all kinds of different stories. Much like how Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a hugely different experience than Guardians of the Galaxy, Kinberg says that the various X-Men movies in development will all have distinct tones: "I mean Deadpool obviously has a very different, almost antithetical tone to the mainline X-Men movies. The X-Men movies are dramatic and almost operatic, whereas Deadpool is irreverent and hysterical and sort of a dirty R-rated comedy in many ways. And Gambit will have its own different flavor and tone to it, will be more of like a heist movie and a sexy thriller in a way". Remy LeBeau’s comic book counterpart is a suave ladies’ man and a thief who frequently stumbles into heroics. Making a full-on heist movie that utilizes his sex appeal is true to the character on the page while allowing the movie to provide a different flavor of action than the rest of the X-Men movies. And it’s about time, too – the main X-Men films have begun to run together and tread on too much familiar ground. Deadpool and Gambit could be the shot in the arm that this franchise needs. The X-gang's all here: Bishop, Storm, Rogue, Professor X, Phoenix (or Marvel Girl), Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast, Jubilee, Sabretooth, Psylocke...all X-Men who have touched the life of Remy Lebeau a.k.a. Gambit for better or for worse, created by Greg Hildebrandt for Marvel Comics. Hildebrandt is probably best known for his work on the original Star Wars posters back in the 70's. Channing Tatum Explains Why His 'Raunchy' Gambit Film Was Never Made Channing Tatum credits Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox as one of the main reasons his Deadpool-esque Gambit standalone film wasn't made. Channing Tatum has revealed more details about why the "raunchy" Gambit film he and longtime producing partner Reid Carolin pitched to 21st Century Fox was never made. "The studio really didn't want us to direct it," Tatum told Variety. "They wanted anybody but us, essentially, because we had never directed anything." The actor added that his Gambit script featured a similar tone to the Ryan Reynolds-led Deadpool films, as well as explained he was so excited about the direction of the film that he was willing to let someone else direct it. "They would call [the character] 'flamboyant' in his description. I wouldn't — he was just the coolest person. He could pull anything off," Tatum continued. "Most superheroes, their outfits are utilitarian. Batman's got his belt. Gambit's like, 'No, this shit's just fly, bro! This shit walked down the Paris runway last year.' He's just wearing the stuff that's so dope because he loves fashion." Fans will recall that the mutant Gambit was first portrayed by Taylor Kitsch in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a casting that wasn't received well by X-Men fans. While it was reported in 2014 that Tatum had signed on to take over the role in a planned standalone film, the project was delayed multiple times. Fox ultimately scheduled the film for release on March 13, 2020, but development was put on hold due to Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox. After the merger was finalized in 2019, Gambit was one of the first projects to be scrapped. "Once Gambit went away, I was so traumatized," Tatum explained, noting that the blow caused him to avoid all superhero films. "I shut off my Marvel machine. I haven't been able to see any of the movies. I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him." Prior to the film being pulled by Disney, Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg expressed interest in seeing the Gambit film be made post-merger. "I love the idea of Channing [Tatum] playing Gambit," he said at the time. "I think we have a great script for it and I think it's a role he was born to play. It's a character I grew up loving and I know the fans love. So I suspect, I hope it will happen." Director Rupert Wyatt, who was at one point attached to helm Tatum's Gambit film also revealed in 2019 that the project was postponed back in 2015 because of the poor performance of Fantastic Four. "We were close, I believe 10 weeks away. It simply came down to budget. There was not enough," Wyatt explained. "You know all too well about the politics of the business. Fantastic Four had been released by Fox a month before and had not gone well for them, so our budget was slashed quite considerably. The inevitable, from my perspective, was, 'Well then we need to rewrite the script to tailor to our budget,' but we were too close to a start date for Fox to really want to go there, so, unfortunately, it just didn't work out." While it's unclear how Disney and Marvel plan to introduce the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if Gambit will be among those mutants, rumors suggest a selection of X-Men could be introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which hits theaters on May 6. Now that Prof X has made his MCU debut in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, the rest of the X-Men can't be far behind! The idea of the X-Men FINALLY being done right and interacting with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe is so exciting and you know that Avengers vs X-Men is now inevitable!
