This film has lost two directors. I think they need to scrap it and add Gambit as a supporting character to the Deadpool/X-force films...

Hell, I'll direct it. 
I like Tatum, I can understand the hate; but I like him, solid dude and actor.
It kind of grew on me. I like Kitsch, but he just didn't sell me as Gambit.

It's a bit late now for Kitsch to get on the train, but I really dug his performance in X-M:O.
I'm not exactly up on the latest Hollypoop hotshot list, but even Eastwood's son could be alright.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Silly character that nobody wants to play, direct or write about. Lock this thread up!

Good character, needs proper treatment so let them cook it first.

Scott Eastwood is an interesting choice. Though he seems better as a supporting or side character than an actual headliner.

I'm surprised this hasn't been updated in a year* but here is the rumored synopses for the movie......which sounds terrible.
"Remy Lebeau (Channing Tatum) is on trial in New Orleans. He’s considered a huge security risk. We flashback to almost 25 years before. Master thief Luke Lebeau runs into eight-year-old Gambit while doing a heist. Impressed by his skills, he offers to take the mutant orphan under his wings. Raised alongside other strays he calls “cousins”, the teenage Gambit becomes the superstar of the Thief Guild. He encounters Bella Donna Boudreaux while on the run from the police. Sparks immediately fly since Bella is also a fellow mutant. Their love is directly prohibited by both families since the Boudreaux are sworn enemies of the Lebeau clan. Deciding to unite the two sides, Remy offers to have the two clans team up on a HUGE heist to profit both families. Of course, the whole plan goes awry, and in the chaos, Maryanne Boudreaux shoots and kill Luke Lebeau.
We jump to 10 years later; Gambit is hired to do a job in Paris to steal something from the Louvre Museum. It was apparently a test job to see if he still has it. His mysterious employer is revealed to be Nathaniel Essex a.k.a. Mr. Sinister. He offers Gambit 40 million to recover a mysterious trunk that was stolen by the Boudreaux clan. It will be auctioned off during the yearly Thieves Ball where all the criminal organizations in the world meet up. It uses New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations as a cover. Gambit decides to enlist a crew of mutants to pull off this seemingly impossible heist…"

It's all about execution, so it could go either way. Deadpool and Logan show that the X-Men movies can be seen as standalone films and work on that level. And I'm fine with that, so long as they put out decent films.

I'll consider it. Just don't let it be an Ant-Man
As long as Logan and "the Weapon X program" are referenced in some way, shape or form I'm in. Extra points if there's a moment where Stryker notices Gambit and nods approvingly as if he has some sinister plan. Even more extra points if Gambit then turns to the camera and smiles *as his eyes glow yellow* dun dun DUNN!
