Trying to translate every hero into a live-action story is dangerous, especially when some heroes just cannot translate well (Aquaman) as a comic book film.

Gambit Comic Book CoverVery little information is known about this project’s status. Channing Tatum is slated to play this titular character and Chris Claremont, X-men scribe for more than 30 years, is supposedly going to help pen it.

Although this film is slated for this year with a tentative October date, that is most likely going to be moved for the simple reason that a story like Gambit’s can not be rushed and if its going to be standalone, that means no Rogue appearance. That can all change last minute. Some fans would love seeing Anna Paquin return to the role since her importance in X-Men: Days of Future Past got trimmed to the cutting room floor. However, there’s no word or rumour saying so.

If there’s any opportunity for this film to materialize this year, it might be December.
