Bringing Channing Tatum’s Gambit Back In The Mutant Saga Creates Continuity In The MCU
Marvel Studios May Focus Mostly On The X-Men After The Multiverse Saga Ends
As Marvel Studios is look to shift its focus away from the Avengers after the Multiverse Saga ’s conclusion , and onto newmutant characters and the decade - manpower , it ’s possible that a sense of continuity could be mislay . This is peculiarly true if every mutant hero that audiences have grown to bed over the last 24 year is remold , but I opine Channing Tatum ’s getting even as Gambit could be an easygoing solution to this problem . Tatum has already appeared as Gambit inDeadpool & Wolverine , so bringing him back would establish a connection to the MCU ’s past .
Channing Tatum has also been afan - best-loved casting for Gambitfor several years , which made his debut inDeadpool & Wolverineeven more square .

Gambit Has Connections To Many Heroes & Villains In Marvel Comics
While some have expressed question that Gambit is a strong enough character to lead a solo movie , I do n’t share these concerns , especially given his connections to a spacious range of other heroes and villains in Marvel Comics . sport aGambitmovie as the first in the " Mutant Saga " would present the pure opportunity to introduce other notable characters . Perhaps most specifically , Gambit ’s long - running , on - again , off - again romance with Roguecould be set up in this movie , bringing a more comic - precise depiction of the sport into live - action mechanism following Anna Paquin ’s divisive iteration .
His history as a villain - seminal fluid - antihero also saw him work for redoubtable 10 - Men scoundrel Mister Sinister .
As well as Rogue , Gambit also formed a closemouthed friendship with 10 - Men fellow member Storm , helping her to defeat the Shadow King while she was depowered . His history as a scoundrel - seed - antihero also check him knead for formidableX - Men villain Mister Sinister , and direct the Marauders , a group of morally - questionable mercenaries . Gambit also see Wolverine ’s escape from the Weapon X adeptness , so I think a soloGambitmovie in the MCU ’s " Mutant Saga " could lay the seed for some of Marvel ’s biggest mutant - centric storylines .
