There's only one X-Man who can challenge Wolverine for the title of resident mutant bad boy. And finally, it seems Gambit will get his shot at Hollywood greatness, as director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring, A Cure for Wellness) and star Channing Tatum join forces for a solo Gambit movie.
As we wait for that movie to finally materialize, we figured now would be a good time to spotlight the Ragin' Cajun and tell you everything you need to know about Gambit.
Gambit made his live-action debut in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he was played by Taylor Kitsch. Rather than serving as a member of the X-Men, that film established Gambit as a Weapon X escapee who helped Wolverine track down the villainous William Stryker. Kitsch's Gambit was slated to receive his own spinoff film, but the poor reception to X-Men Origins: Wolverine cut those plans short. Instead, Channing Tatum will take over the role in 2019's Gambit, a film that has been in some form of development since 2014.
Gambit has also appeared as a playable character in numerous Marvel video games, beginning with 1992's Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge and also including X-Men: Mutant Academy, the Marvel vs. Capcom series, the X-Men Legends series, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, X-Men Destiny and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
