    If they go forward with this, for the entire movie all of Gambit’s dialogue should be subtitled and none of it audibly intelligible. All characters interacting with Gambit should understand him clearly except for one secondary character that can’t NEVER understand Gambit is saying and this character doesn’t understand how everyone else can understand Gambit so clearly all the time.

    Huh. I thought it was a fun cameo because of how badly he did, but in a fun way. Like, he butchered gambit.

    But still, Channing Tatum is always fun to see, so fuck it.

    Didn’t someone else play Gambit in one of the first few modern Marvel movies? Or did I remember that wrong?

            I definetly thought he was better as an actual character. Tatum felt more like a one off joke than something to take seriously.

              Tatum’s face looks like a videogame character. every time I see him it feels like old CGI I don’t know why. it’s like his skin doesn’t have pores or subsurface scattering.

        I think you are forgetting that this was a deadpool movie, so every character feels light hearted. In an actual movie with real story, I think Tatum would nail it.

          Super fair point, you’re right that his character would likely be written differently in a more serious story.

    He was great as fan service and a joke for the one movie. If he does come back I’d rather see him play a more serious (and understandable) Gambit.

      The classic costume is not a good look for his face either.

      That said, I did appreciate his cards obliterating ribcages instead of just knocking people down, that was neat.

        Yeah I don’t know how to make that headpiece look good in live action on anyone, really. His and Jean Grey’s head pieces are so weird.

        I say, keep Tatum, keep the action parts, modify the costume, write him more seriously.
