GAMBIT Film Will Be A "Romantic Comedy" According To Producer Simon Kinberg

GAMBIT Film Will Be A "Romantic Comedy" According To Producer Simon Kinberg

When you think of films in development hell, Gambit is a perfect illustration of that. However, now that Gambit will reportedly be going into production, more insight is coming along.

Until the Disney/FOX deal completely goes through, it seems apparent FOX will continue to make their Marvel branded movies until someone says stop. Well, Gambit seems to be one of the items on their to-do list. Known for being in a lengthy development process, Gambit is supposedly going to start filming early next year.

Which means more news tidbits will be coming out every so often. Producer Simon Kinberg spoke with IGN about this film and what to expect...

"When you look at Gambit, he’s a hustler and a womanizer and we just felt like there was an attitude, a swagger to him, that lent itself to romantic comedy," He continued, "You know, when I say romantic comedy, I use that term loosely, in the same term that I use the term western for Logan loosely,"

Kinberg said. "It’s not like they’re gunslingers at high noon in Logan. It’s just a vibe. And I would say the vibe of Gambit has a romantic or sex comedy vibe to it. While it is also still very much a superhero movie with villains and heroes, as all these movies are."



Well, what could possibly go wrong? Sarcasm aside, it seems this film could very well come out in theaters at some point. No set release date at the moment, but the wheels are starting to move. 

Are you up for a Gambit solo film? Or is this something you couldn't care less about? Leave your thoughts down below.

@Kevwebsz - A womanizer in the metoo era. Oh, yeah, what could go wrong?

@Luminus - Right? They might as well get rid of James Bond as well. You can't have a man dominating a woman!!! THAT'S SEXIST!! But if it's the other way around, it's empowering. People just say things. They don't care what comes out of their mouths, whether it's right, hypocritical, or if it even makes sense. As long as their agenda or false sense of moral superiority has been filled, who cares what's right?

Gambit's last solo series was really funny, and so is his new series, Mr. and Mrs. X. He does lend himself to comedy pretty well.

I believe he has the personality for Gambit, as well the face. But he needs to lean down a lot. Hes a bit bulky in the body. Would like a more comic accurate look for sure.

@WarNoodle - He had a great Cajun accent in Hateful Eight too.

Sounds ridiculous but i’m not really worried about it because this film will never be made.

I like that! It’s good for the comic Book movie genre to change it up every once in a while. The more they lean in to different genres the more streamlined the final product becomes, I feel. Logan was a western, Ant-Man was a heist movie, Winter Soldier was a political thriller etc.

I stick to my prediction, this movie doesn't happen, and I have been saying it since Disney began their diligence. Prove me wrong, Gambit is my boy! But I don't believe it.
