X-Men: Apocalypse - 10 Characters Who Need To Come Back

5. Gambit

Despite being one of the most well-known mutants in the X-Men series, Gambit has received little love from the writers and creators of the live action films, having only appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine to date. With the announcement of a dedicated Gambit film being in the works, the chance of the character appearing in Apocalypse is rather 50/50 at the moment. On the one hand, having Gambit appear in Apocalypse would create some buzz for the standalone film, but on the other, an unsuccessful appearance could be discouraging for the standalone film. If the character is to appear in Apocalypse, he needs to be played by Channing Tatum to maintain some semblance of continuity. It has already been confirmed that the actor will be playing the lead role in the dedicated Gambit film, so it only makes sense for him to appear as the character in Apocalypse if they decide to feature the mutant.
