Clickonline writes: "Gambit reeks of a film which was made under the duress of creditors rather than for any real reason and despite Firth’s best efforts should generally be avoided."
In a parallel universe that wasn't wrecked by Spider-Man or Doctor Strange, Channing Tatum's Gambit would be a major figure in the "X-Men" films by now, with Tatum transforming Remy LeBeau into an A-list character in much the same way that Robert Downey Jr. did for Iron Man. Unfortunately, Disney's purchase of Fox all but destroyed the possibility of that happening. Instead, our only lasting image of the explosive card-throwing mutant on the big screen is Taylor Kitsch's muted performance in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Sacré bleu!
Gambit - Play for Keeps is a sophisticated fan film that makes The CW's Arrowverse look embarrassing in the process.
WGTC: “After years in development hell, it looks like Gambit is dead in the water after Disney removed it from their official release schedule.”
