Remy LeBeau/Gambit Appreciation Thread #12: Because Taylor is the Only Gambit For Us
X-MEN ORIGINS - WOLVERINE
Vanity Fair:VF: In the upcoming film Wolverine, you play Gambit. The character is a big deal in the comic-book world. Did you know that when you were cast? Tv Guide:Kitsch On The Character Of Gambit The Crew on Taylor: Hugh Jackman:"I can say it. He's sexy, right? He's a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He's a little bit of a wise guy. He's an outsider. He's got some issues himself. He's mischievous. He's cheeky. He's a bit of a badass. " Jeff Katz (Fox Exec ) :As for the other fan-favorite character making his big-screen debut, Katz had nothing but praise for Kitsch’s performance as Gambit, another mutant of questionable morals who rose to prominence in the ’90s as one of the most popular X-Men.

I'd never read most of that. Thanks for assembling it.
Other than having bio-kinetic energy and being a thief, Taylor basically IS Gambit! And Gambit sounds like an awesome character. No wonder he's a fan favorite. As much as I like Channing Tatum, he sounds even more wrong for the part, now that I've read that description. Wrong in temperament, in look and build, in physicality. Good luck to him, though. I bet Taylor would turn it down now UNLESS Hugh was involved. Taylor and Hugh really did have a great, playful energy between them. It's too bad they didn't get to have more screen time together. And it wasn't until I read Hugh's comments that I realized there really are similarities between Wolverine and Gambit, which now makes me want a Wolverine-Gambit movie. Which will never happen now.

I can't take credit for the OP. I'm not sure who put that together.
I feel they went with Channing for the overall "star appeal". Ironically, with the projects Taylor has coming out his star may actually be brighter than Channing's when the movie comes out; if it ever gets made. Quote:

I do hope they eventually make the new movie and that it's good -- especially for the longtime Gambit fans, who deserve it. |

Deadpool took a long time to be made. But I think the longer it drags on the less likely it is that Channing will stay ttached.

The early articles made it sound like Gambit is a dream project for Channing, like Ryan Reynolds with Deadpool.

I think this was actually supposed to be viewed as positive news that Channing is still attached. That's probably another two years before it even hits the big screen if there are no more set backs.

There's just something about Channing that rubs me the wrong way. Sounds like he's super invested in the part. Good for him, but he's not my Gambit.

Thanks for posting the article.
They should just ditch Channing or, better yet, he should gracefully exit. The fact they're finding it so difficult to find the "right" director suggests either the producing team or Channing himself is being really difficult and making demands that no director is willing to put up with. And I've yet to hear or read someone excited to see Channing as Gambit. They should just start from scratch, offer it to Taylor, get him a top-notch dialect coach to nail the Cajun accent, and make the movie already. They could probably find someone willing to direct it with him attached. And I say this as a Channing fan! Poor guy. He clearly loves the character. |
