FOX, This is how to make a CBM w/o botching it up...

If Fox doesn’t screw us over again with their version of a Gambit movie I would like to his solo flick. For me, there are not very many X-Men that could have their own MOVIE. If it was done right it would have 10 minutes of his childhood on the streets, meeting Bella Donna, being taken in by the Guild and so on. The movie would follow closely to the comic but all happen at the same time. He and his cousin get captured by Candra after they botch his cousin’s initiation. She sells them to Pig, whom they fight (Pig kills Etienne). Outside of this we watch him fall in live with and marry Bella Donna (an arrangement of their parents/leaders of the respective Guilds in order to bring the warring Guilds together) and struggle to control his powers. After the wedding her brother challenges him to death and loses, causing Remy to be banished. He soon bumps into Sinister who “fixes” his uncontrollable powers only if the Cajun promises to carry out 3 missions. The 1st is to steal files from William Stryker’s facility, getting captured and escaping, but never getting the files. That’s why, in Wolverine, he goes back. He gets them and hands them over to Sinister. Before Essex sends him on mission #2 he goes back home to ask Bella Donna if she wants to go with him. When he arrives he finds that both the thieves and assassins are being attacked by the brood so he helps them fight back. He must kill the infected Bella Donna. Before he returns a broken man to Sinister ready to fulfill his promise we see Sinister talking to Sabretooth, who was working with him this whole time (that is, during Wolverine: Origins). They discuss how the Brood was a creation of Sinister sent after the Guilds as a way to alienate Gambit, thus bringing him closer to Sinister, and how his next 2 missions will “change everything”… The sequel will see him (mission 2) gather the marauders, including Sabretooth whom he believes he’s bring into the fold for the 1st time. Since they met in Wolverine it would be a tense meeting. Mission 3 will be the slaughter of the Morlocks. He is forced to do this and fights back but it too late. With the help of Vertigo at the last minute, the only one besides Gambit not willing (she was genetically altered by Sinister), they are able to save one child, Sarah. Vertigo dies; Gambit escapes and finds a home for Sarah, finding a man named Mikhail Rasputin to take her in. Gambit moves on, Angry over their failure, Sinister kills all of them except Sabretooth and Mystique (which I will explain), he experiments on Victor and Raven, amplifying their mutations (as a way to explain their appearances in X-Men)… END… Here’s my cast (I’ve received all of my info, once again, from Wikipedia. Thanks Wiki)

X-Men Origins: Gambit and the Guild of Thieves

Taylor Kitsch returns as Gambit
As a mutant, Gambit possesses the ability to manipulate kinetic energy, as well as a hypnotic charm. He is also skilled in card-throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a staff.In February 2008, Kitsch signed on to play Gambit in the X-Men franchise spinoff X-Men Origins: Wolverine, released in May 2009



Matt Dillon as Jean-Luc (most of his scenes are in the past, make-up will take sare of the present day)
They referred to the child as "Le Diable Blanc" ("the white devil") and believed he was prophesied to unite the warring Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of Fagan's Mob, a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. After living as an orphan on the streets, a 10-year-old Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy off the streets and adopted him into his own family.


Jean-Luc Bilodeau as Etienne Marceaux
When he was 15, he accompanied his cousin Etienne Marceaux on his "Tithing", the ritual initiation test of the Thieves' Guild. However, it went awry as they were assigned to steal from the powerful immortal mutant Candra, who sold them to the deformed, mutant gangster and child slave trader known as the Pig. Remy used his powers to escape. After the fight they dove into the sea, Remy was ultimately rescued by the Guild; Etienne drowned.


Kristen Bell as Bella Donna
In an attempt to reconcile the Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds, Remy married Bella Donna Boudreaux, granddaughter of the head Assassin, whom he met at age 8.


Robert Pattinson as Julien (c’mon you know you want to see this guy die on screen)
Unfortunately, he was challenged by her brother Julien to a duel after the wedding. In the duel, Gambit killed Julien, and he was exiled from the city, ending his relationship with Bella Donna.


CGI (mo-cap) as The Pig
Candra sold them to the deformed, mutant gangster and child slave trader known as the Pig. Remy used his powers to escape their holding pen, but the physically enhanced Pig quickly caught up to them. Remy discovered his signature attack when he picked up a playing card that Etienne had dropped, charged it and threw it in the Pig's face, taking out his eye.


Lucy Lawless as Candra
Candra's exact origin is unknown. Her story picks up when she had a deal with the Thieves' and Assassins' Guild of New Orleans, in which she provided them with power in exchange for monetary tributes,


Liev Schrieber returns as Sabretooth
Sabretooth eventually encounters a thief by the name of Gambit, and the two fight, but find they aren't exactly enemies.[16] Later, while recruiting for mastermind villain Mister Sinister, Gambit gathers a group of mutant criminals he has associated with who form the Marauders. Sabretooth was portrayed by Tyler Mane in the X-Men motion picture released in 2000. In February 2008, 20th Century Fox announced Liev Schreiber was to portray Sabretooth in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, scheduled for release May 1, 2009.


Viggo Mortenson as Mr. Sinister
Remy was first by Mr. Sinister, then in disguise of Dr. Nathaniel Essex. Essex wanted his stolen diaries back from the Weapon X program. Remy and the Thieves' Guild accepted the mission and sent out Remy to retrieve said diaries. Standing in the cold, scouting the Weapon X facility, Remy couldn't bear the cold and swore he would steal a long, stylish jacket in New Orleans after the mission, which he did. Upon entering the facility, Remy witnessed Wolverine escaping from his adamantium procedure and found the diaries.


CGI as The Brood
The parasitic Brood have the ability to impregnate a host (of any lifeform) with an egg, making them somewhat similar to Aliens from the Fox franchise. When the embryo is grown, the host becomes a Brood, and is effectively dead. The Brood infect more the Louisiana Thieves' Guild of which X-Man Gambit belongs to.



X-Men Origins: Gambit and the Marauders

---- I’ve taken out a few members. Ones I feel who’s powers may be redundant to any mutants that have been on screen already or to each other. The less villains there is the more believable it is when Gambit gets out alive, as well.Gambit, Sinister, and Sabretooth all return.

Malice will be played by 2 people as she has no pysical form. I saw this as a cheap way to add 2 very cool chacters (1 hope ends up in Deadpool). The 1st girl’s body will be ditched when Malice finds it too much of a struggle to control her. The 2nd will be killed at the end by Sinister. Here is each Mutant.


Rhona Mitra as Domino/Malice

In addition to her exceptional marksmanship and hand-to-hand skills, Domino possesses mutant probability-altering powers.


Chloe Moretz (Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) as Boom-Boom/Malice--- I would love watching this 13-year-old boss around the group, I really think she’s that good of an actor.

Tabitha's mutant powers manifest at 13, and her parents immediately show their disgust, her father even beating her. She runs away from home, giving herself the alias "Time Bomb,"


Danny Trejo as Scalp Hunter

Scalphunter is a Native American who originally fought in World War II for the United States, but is to be executed for murdering his fellow officers. He gets shot by a firing squad and is believed killed. However, he survives. Gambit would later recruit Scalphunter as a member of the Marauders to murder the entire underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. Scalphunter's mutant powers include superior regenerative abilities, which may slow his aging to a degree. He also has techno-morphing powers, allowing him to construct mechanical devices at a superhuman rate from the numerous components attached to his costume.


Anne Hathaway as Mystique (if only because I am in love with Anne and the girl can act, man I say that at least once every fancast) I understand she was not an original, I would’ve used Arclight but she was in Last Stand and this is a good explaination for the way they look. I would like to see the sexual anti-relationship between her and Sabretooth
Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a supervillain, assassinating several important people involved in mutant affairs. Mystique herself is a mutant, a shapeshifter whose natural appearance includes her blue skin and yellow eyes. At one point, she mentioned she is over 100 years old.


Gemma Arterton as Vertigo
Vertigo obtained superhuman powers at a young age by genetic engineering. Her powers enable her to render a person severely dizzy and even unconscious.Later, although not a mutant, she joined the Marauders, a group of mutants working as assassins for the enigmatic geneticist known as Mister Sinister.[2] Sinister wanted his assassins to destroy a large community of mutants, known as the Morlocks, who lived under New York City, as he had deemed them genetically useless.
