re: Looks like they're close to a casting decision for Gambit

Gambit will never be portrayed good enough to us.

Hell we grew up with the accent all around us. Even the little variations between NO/Acadian accents. It would be tough as hell to appease that portion of it.

That is quite possibly the worst description of Gambit I've ever heard.

Not really. Perhaps using "magic cards" is inaccurate, since he charges them with kinetic energy, but his powers are, for the most part, typically confined to charging inanimate objects by touch and fighting using a bo. Of course, there's the whole New Son arc wherein Gambit reaches his full potential and combats an alternate version of himself that is so powerful it has destroyed planets, but for the most part, Gambit has to charge by touch and fights with a bo.

As long as they don't play on his potential cheese factor, he should do well.

That was the issue with the last iteration. Gambit has some cheesy one-liners and all, but they beat that horse to death in the last flick.

Edit: I was just starting to like Channing Tatum since he started doing comedic roles. If he ruins Gambit for me, we can never be friends.

That's why this:

Plus, because Gambit is so iconic, I'd rather them take a shot at Cannonball, Psylocke, Karma or Forge.

Gambit can be ruined as a character, and this team hasn't looked spot on with their interpretations.

I believe Kitsch actually signed a three movie contract. They have had to buy him out.
