Credit to Tatum for wanting to take his time and get Remy right, but I don't know if i'll be able to buy him as Gambit.

Okay, I was skeptical about Tatum as Gambit at first, but if he's this dedicated to getting the character right, then I'm all for giving him a shot, or at least seeing a trailer.

One way to get it right would be to cast someone else.

Tatum: Guys...I'm this close to being a good actor. Just a few more months.
Producer: Screw it, Gambit's now a shirtless mute.

Does anyone: comics fans, Tatum fans, Gambit fans, whoever really want or care about this that much?
And I'll defend the guy, he can be a decent actor; I just don't see him as a fit here. Which, honestly ain't that big a knock on him, Gambit kinda sucks and always has. He's always had some cool superficial stuff goin on, but as a character? Eh.

Throw cards, talk in a Cajun accent, you now have the character right.

As two others have said, only way Tatum gets Gambit right is to not play him

I was a bit surprised when I got online in 97 and found out that people actually like Gambit and Jubilee. Everyone I knew back then just saw both of them as more reasons why the X-titles had been on a downhill slide since Mutant Massacre.

The fandom has always confused me, because there's just not much there. (I know they tried to add the thief stuff later, but even that's pretty uninteresting in my view). He was usually pretty useful in video games given that his powers/weapons translated well to fighters or platformers but.. I dunno, just never been a fan.

I'd be more interested if it was done by those other guys...

could be good, could be fantastic four (2016) levels of disaster.
i'll wait until I see footage of it before I say either way.

I actually like C-Tates. Hail Caesar, the 21 Jumpstreet Flicks, Hateful Eight, ...he's pretty underrated as an actor. But his track record with serious action flicks ain't the best.
I like Gambit. Gambit doesn't deserve his own flick. Throw him in with the rest of the X-Men. Have him cover Jackmans Outsider-Guy slot.

I like Gambit but he doesn't warrant his own flick, He's better in an ensemble

At this point I think it's a safer bet to say it probably isn't gonna happen and Tatum will move onto other things. I don't see this being a Deadpool situation where fan demand makes it happen despite endless developmental hell.

I thought that one guy (can't spell his name) did a decent enough job as Gambit in Orgins: Wolverine.
But I don't think the charater really warrents his own feature film, is anyone really demanding this? I think gambit is only better served in a supporting role in a main xmen film

The idea of a solo Gambit feels like one of those Hollywood executive decisions that came about because someone has nostalgia fuzzies for the 90s cartoon, in which Gambit was a major character.

When they're given something to really work with, they put on a great performance, but they can't elevate bad material in the way some actors can't.
