X-Men: Apocalypse - 10 Things From The Comics That Could Feature

4. Gambit

At this point, the Ragin€™ Cajun likely needs no introduction. He€™s probably the most popular X-Man, second only to Wolverine. Which is why it€™s a surprise that he€™s had so little exposure in the films. Taylor Kitsch played the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and his performance was largely panned (although one could argue it had more to do with the shoddy script than the actor€™s ability). And while we don€™t know much about the movie, what we do know is that Singer has said he€™d like to see Gambit in the film. Adding to the possibility of the roguish character appearing, Channing Tatum has all but been cast as Gambit. While it hasn€™t been made official, both Tatum and the producers want it to happen, so it€™s likely only a matter of time. What sort of role would Gambit play in the movie, though? If Sinister is in the movie, then that€™s one way to bring him in. Gambit and Sinister have a long history in the comics and as a bit of trivia, Chris Claremont originally conceived of Gambit as Sinister€™s spy in the X-Men. This plan was changed by later writers, but they did keep the connection between the two characters. Gambit used to undertake missions for Sinister and he was even responsible for both assembling the Marauders and leading them into the Morlock Tunnels (so now we€™ve got a connection to another possibility on this list).
