Gambit (2011-2013)



Fox is set to greenlight spin-offs from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Gambit is a character X-Men fans have been waiting for ever since the first film. The studio believed the reason he never made the other films was that his story was too large and was too popular. To end up being a throw away character with just a small cameo. It makes sense since a majority of mutants didn't get much screen time. They had planned on making a full feature but had to introduce the character first.

Possible Plot:



It's likely they'll be staying clear from any X-Men involvement until the fourth X-Men film. It could start off during Remy's time in The Thieves Guild. Where he falls in love with Bella Donna, a mutant apart of the Assassin's Guild. He also encounters Candra an ex-lover who is now in control of the Guilds. After killing Bella Donna's brother in self-defense he is banished from the Guilds. That could lead to Gambit's time in The Marauders. Lead by Mr. Sinister, which also included members Mystique and Sabertooth. Sinister offers Gambit surgery to control his powers. In exchange Remy would work for him in The Marauders. The group is responsible for the mass murder of another group of mutants called The Morlocks. There is also a love story between Sabertooth and Mystique which could be explored in the film.

Casting Thoughts:



Amber Heard (Rum Diary) as Bella Donna



Marley Shelton (Sin City, Planet Terror) as Candra



Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible 2) as Nathaniel Essex aka Mr. Sinister
