Ok, right off the bat I should say that it is VERY unlikley that we’ll see Gambit in the next X-Men film for many many reasons… but considering so many people have posted comments on the subject in various posts, I thought I’d open up the question here: SHOULD Gambit be in the next X-Men film?
Now, before I leave it to you to answer that in the comments section, let me throw in my 2 cents worth. Personally, I DO NOT think Gambit should be in the next film. Here are my reasons:
1) Too many “main” characters already
2) The comic Gambit character is already sorta personified in many ways by the movie version of Wolverine
3) I think the accent would really start to annoy me :P
4) Having Gambit without a romance with Rouge would feel wrong… and they’re already too far into the relationship with Rouge and Ice Man in the movies… not to mention she’s too young.
5) They seem to already be leaving any character development time to Ice Man and Colossus in the next one.
Now, before any of you start blowing my head off, keep in mind that I LOVE the Gambit charater. I really do, but that doesn’t mean that I think he would fit in the movie at this point. For instance, Bishop is one of my all time favs… but I also don’t think he would be a good fit for the current films either.
So there you have it. What do you think? Should he or shouldn’t he be in the next film? And why?
