Gambit is a very popular Marvel character. He's been around since the 90s and has remained on top lists of fan favorites since then. He's been involved in various story lines as a main character. He's also been involved in various games, movies and television shows.
That being said, his appearance in TV and movies has always been surrounded with a lot of hype but ultimately always seems to end up in disappointment.
It's almost as if no one know what to do with him. Being such a huge face in the Marvel-verse, his roles have never quite lived up to that. Also he often appears as a bad guy for some reason. Must be that "King of Thieves" title.
As for now, there's a bit of a wait until we can see Gambit on the big screen. Stay tuned for more updates on the hero as we get closer to the release date.
