Gambit

Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit, is a mutant born with the ability to charge objects with explosive kinetic energy — most iconically, playing cards. Raised in the criminal underworld of New Orleans, Remy was once part of the Thieves’ Guild, a powerful underground organization steeped in tradition, rivalry, and secrets.

Struggling between his shady past and his moral compass, Gambit often walks the line between antihero and X-Man. A natural charmer and skilled hand-to-hand fighter, his rebellious streak and Cajun charisma make him a unique figure in the mutant world.

The rumored film is expected to explore his origin story, his connection to the criminal guilds of New Orleans, and his early brushes with the X-Men — particularly his complex relationship with Rogue, a fellow mutant with the ability to absorb powers through touch.

Dark, stylish, and steeped in Southern mysticism, Gambit could offer a fresh take on the mutant universe with a mix of heists, mutant politics, and personal redemption.
