The enthusiasm for this thread is admirable, though my doubts are quite high at this point. I'm always game to see someone try to pull it off though. I know exactly the movie I would want, though I'm sure it's not what certain fans want. Guess we'll see what Disney does ... or doesn't do.
What do we think about seeing a Gambit series on a streaming service? This seems more doable and likely. Fabian Nicieza even alluded to it in an interview. Good street level, gritty character that can easily be elevated to a more cosmic universe. Lots of canonical fodder, rich backstory, SO many character connections to work with. Wouldn't require ridiculous special effects, not often anyway. You've got angles for action, romance, humor, drama ... plenty of worldbuilding between the Thieves Guild and the X-Men. It could be glorious.
