    So there has to be a lot of filming in New Orleans, right? I mean, there's no point in not doing that. As a former New Orleans resident I will be incredibly peeved if I don't see proper New Orleans locations.

    I'm looking forward to it and hoping for the best.

    They should take a look at the Ultimate Gambit introduction then: marvel.com/comics/issue/15703/ultimate_x-men_2000_13 / 4

    That arc was my favourite. Even though I hated Ultimate universe, this story has stuck with me even after a decade.

    I hope the film outs Gambit as bi! Consider Tatum is bi; that would be really cool!

    Tatum is no Gambit. He was awesome in 21 and 22 Jump Street, but he's no Gambit! I'm glad about the star power he will bring and I know a lot of ladies will go see this movie because of Tatum, but man...I think he'll make a horrible Gambit, unless they change around his personality completely.

    It's considerably better than the casting for Dr. Strange, but... yeah, it's not "perfect."

    Treatment, however, by Chris Claremont, and Tatum seems very, very enthusiastic and willing to put the work in. So, I'm hopeful. I'll keep the bad mid-level and be happy it ranks higher than that.

    Where did tatum ever say he was bI sexual...and no I disagree with changing the sexual motivations of a character to appeal to a small minority of folks. Also why tatum was chosen as gambit is confusing..(unless it's a Hollywood hookup).many of his leading movies were flops and suffered from lack of acting. I have serious doubts to him pulling this off.
