I love this. Not only does this showcase my favorite fictional character, it also shows just how versatile Gambit's mutant abilities are. He's not just about throwing cards. The guy is saturated with kinetic energy, so he constantly has the inherent inertia to perform moves that an Olympic gymnast would need a good running start to pull off. His ability to convert potential energy into unstable kinetic energy means that he can turn anything he touches into a concussion grenade with a short fuse. I love the scene where he sends kinetic energy into his car's brake mechanism to effect a sudden stop. What I DON'T love is Magik as the bad guy. They should have used Spiral or some other morally dubious teleporter (although Remy throwing his cards through her portal was incredibly innovative).
Comic fans know that at his most powerful Gambit is an omega level mutant. He literally beat the Phoenix in an alternate universe than the main Gambit got his full powers and beat him. The only reason he doesn't get his full powers back from Sinister because Gambit is understandably afraid of his power and that responsibility
@@augustcanyon3438 exactly this is a list of only some of full powered Gambit: super strength, speed, agility Flight Energy/kinetic blasts Has timed charges and how powerful he wants them to be atomizing explosions just by looking at the object including organic matter aka people Healing factor/aging stop And fully control kinetic and potential energy making you stop or go InTune with time and magical energy so can literally control time aka go back forward etc. Controls temperature energy so can use hot heat blasts or cold blasts like Iceman High level telepathy and touch based power protection Kinetic kinesis aka telekinesis Alternate version literally actually blowing up an entire planet and the main universe Gambit is even more powerful than him This is all canon like full powered Gambit is a beast
I love Eric Roberts. I met him and his wife at a local convention, and got to sit with them and talk for a long time. They even let me sit with them due to my health issues. My kids liked them too. Also, they were kind and gave us a CD of their son's music. Lovely people.
This was done incredibly well , no one ever gives Gambit enough credit it's always wolverine , Deadpool etc he has always been one of my favorite X-Men . Hollywood needs to take notes .
Growing up, amongst my friends, Wolverine was always popular but Gambit, Beast and Rogue were also up there. Particularly Gambit. Such a popular character... he's an excuse to mint money. And yet... 🤷♂️
Deadpool was never really populad wdym? The most famous x-men are actually Ciclop and Wolverine, and Gambit had a lot of fans for a support character aswel as Rogue.
FoX said they didn’t use Gambit because he was too much like Wolverine. Both hot headed, both would come and go, and both had mysterious pasts. Only, Wolverine didn’t remember his past, and Remy just had powers that prevented his mind from being read by even the most powerful telepaths like Xavier and Jean Grey… even in Phoenix form. There’s kinetic energy around his brain blocking ANY outside influence. At full strength as the New Son, he’s an Omega Level Mutant with the power to destroy the entire planet. He can control the energy in ALL things, not just inanimate objects. And he doesn’t have to touch anything to charge it.
I think the 90’s x-men cartoon was my real introduction to the superhero genre, and Gambit, Rogue and their relationship was one of the most memorable aspects. It could easily be a trilogy. Some story that has them unite, get separated, then reunite. As long as it stays true to the characters, like this short does, it’d be very profitable.
Too bad you didn't start with the comic books. I'm talking from the late 70s and the 80s. Nothing produced in live action or cartoon form has really done these characters justice.

I hope Marvel's paying attention to these fan-made films because this is how the Gambit movie should be. they get somebody big like Eric Roberts in there's fan-made film this is pure genius
Yeah, bro I can't lie when it comes to action/martial arts films. Scenes like that gets my heart racing and adrenaline rushing. I personally was impressed by that part alone. With the exception of how well the actor's portrayal of the Raging Cajun bka Gambit. At the same time Channing Tatum does have the precise face for Gambit. But I'm sold on this actor more/less. He did a great job on every corner of this short film. I wish I could give it ten thumbs up 👍
Kevin Feige needs to be contacting the people involved in this. THIS is the Gambit I think every Xmen fan has been waiting to see. This has style and attitude and is so well done. MCU, this is what you need!
Is not a matter to find the right idea. They are already there. The problem is the Disney studios always kissing sjw ass. That’s why plots tend to be so simple, there is no gore nor sex when needed and outfits looks like some power ranger theme fashion parade. Check on youtube and you ll find a video explaining and showing how much cooler all outfit were meant to be for each movie and how Disney studio wiped out till the last of them. they were so much more believable, steam punk, original, I swear every single one was ten times better then the final filtered products
@Da le Disney has always been a family friendly company. I'd prefer my superhero movies without gore and sex, as do many others. You don't need any of that to be mature or get an audience. Batman, Avatar ATLA, Gargoyles, and the original X-Men show all had mature, dark tones and got adult audiences without any gore, sex or going too dark. Something can be satisfying and have a PG or under rating.
Gambit movie: taking forever to even be made Fans: Fine... I'll do it myself. By the way, I gotta say, Gambit's reaction to Rogue being captured made me internally squeal in delight. About time we saw them two together.
I have to admit, I'm really impressed. Top notch production, and the Gambit accent reminded me of the X-men animated series. Kudos to the cast and crew for a job well done
Gambit is such a dynamic character. Expert Martial Artist Expert Acrobat Bojutsu Expert Expert Marksman Master Thief And his powers haven't even been talked about yet. I like a Alpha level Gambit, because he isn't too powerful to not have to integrate his skills with his powers...But if there was one power I would like him to have that he has at a omega level but at a alpha level other than his traditional tactile kinetic conversion and acceleration with inanimate objects would be the ability to absorb kinetic energy as well to enable him to have limitless endurance. The ulitmate defensive and passive power that makes sense for Gambit to have is to not tire on a molecular level. I don't know if it's canon, but I've heard his physique is perfectly constructed for constant movement on a molecular level from stored kinetic energy. That's the coolest concept that goes well with his offensive powerset to charge objects.
While Hollywood continues to spit out garbage they "recycle", talented filmmakers are out here making fan films better than current movies out right now. Keep creating amazing work!
@@joshuasartain2991 you can say that again. Bateman himself studied and practiced the art of the Bo staff. No wonder he looked so natural with it in these Gambit fan films.
Speaking of recycled garbage, this comment has been remade, reimagined and retarded as long as people have been making, “fan films”. Better than current films? Stop. Just stop. This one in particular is especially awful. You’ve lost your objectivity if you think otherwise. Lower budget shouldn’t mean lower your expectations for what you/we all call, “Good.”
This is a masterclass: Respect for the source material and knowledge about the characters. Good story and script, solid three acts. Good production. Good cast. Good post-production. A work that shows respect for the fans, who are the core and the heart of your audience. In short: great quality. Disney... Marvel... You are the students in this class, learn.
Gambit was always my favorite. Even without his mutant abilities, the powers he gained from his clan were amazing. People always forget he has supernatural powers as well as mutant abilities.
I first learned about Gambit as a kid watching Wolverine and the X-men and he's been my favorite ever since. Kickstarted in me a lot of sruff. Love for polearms like his staff, general aesthetic and an undying love for playing cards. This short film showcases him beautifully so thanks for giving one of my childhood heroes his proper treatment
Finally get to see Gambit and Rogue using their powers the right way and talking the way I remember from the cartoon from years back. This is how Anna should have been talking.
Well, they did depower Rogue, but in the overall scheme of things, and knowing them, it was all part of the plan. Rogue does have high invulnerability, strength and speed, so could have easily gotten out of the machine and beat Majik in a second, but then the payday wouldn't have been worth it.
@@russbrewer2778 Rogue doesn't have any of that unless it's the version of her that sapped Ms Marvels powers from the 90s "Uncanny" comics run. Thats not Rogues' "normal" powerset
@@MyZ001not true Rogue gained her powers Oct 1st 1992 while the animated series did not come out until Oct 31st 1992. So she gained then first in the comics and she was originally supposed to be a version of Carol Danvers until the books were cancelled in 1979. Since then she has had Ms. Marvel’s powers. The X-Men movie circa 2000 is the only time that they did not give her the extra power set.
@@jj-ph6rz U are completely wrong... She has absorbing abilities ONLY. The flight, strength, and speed ALL came from Carol Danvers. U don't even know the story lol... They were tryna break Magneto outta jail when the whole thing happened with Ms Marvel. It has had so many stories over time explaining their beef. Rogue has even been knocked out by Danvers when Danvers had her abilities restored in the comics. Rogue has not had Danvers's abilities for decades now, and I'm 40.
What's amazing is they actually got an A-List actor to play Nicky (Eric Roberts). Every aspect if this fan-made film is a masterpiece. Marvel should take notes and cast this whole crew
@@GZP1023 I'm trying to figure out how you think he's A c-list actor? He's been in over 500 films and is 1 of numerous A list actors without an Oscar (Example of others w/o: Wood Harrelson, Robert Downey Jr. , Samuel L. Jackson.) If you've been in over so many films and have been nominated on numerous occasions, it shows your worth as an actor.
it's a business and it's very difficult to write a story that will engage a mainstream audience and a diehard fanbase at the same time. I'm a casual and I don't want to watch his origin story, fans probably do. Plus I doubt they can find an actor that can do the cajun accent justice - an issue I think you might criticize.
There are too many good X-Men out there. I just can't get into the movies Sony put out. I'm hoping Disney reboots the X-Men and gives it the same treatment it did the Avengers. Take decades of characters and plot and take keep at true as possible to the source material.
I mean the old excuse was it would have to be r rated but after deadpool they can do it now . Also they could go many ways with his story hes actually super powerful but has a mental block to keep them under control
Great film Always loved Gambit as a character. Wanted to see more of him and Logan interacting. The 90s cartoon made me love their dynamic. This film shows exactly why I love gambit and why he is such a smooth badass
This just proves there are people out that that can make a stunning comic adaptation and still stay true to the characters, it's the studio exec's that ruin all these movies.
Ellen Hollman..... One of my ALL TIME FAVES and plays an excellent Rogue.... THIS IS a BRILLIANT 'Fan Film'... (as recommended by 'The Dave Cullen Show')... 👍 😎🇬🇧
Disagree. Bad accent. A lot of poor delivery of specific lines. Not all bad just not a great Remy. Believable enough but just doesn't have his swagger. To play Remy one must exude charisma. And that accent is so very specific that it needs to be on point. His normal speech patterns came out too frequently.
He's a modern take on gambit. In the 90s cartoon is the only other comparison they're really is. An it's not realistic for today. The accent is settle, no over done. We have accents but not as thick as hollywood likes you to think we do. Only thing he's missing is contact lenses. Other than that leave it.
watched this when it first came out via facebook. It still gives me the same feeling over a year later. i could watch this over and over like its a blockbuster film. This team deserves the budget to take this to the next level.
i know Eric's hurtin for cash but no matter if it's a big budget hollywood blockbuster or an independent net video, he always delivers the goods. it would have been a respectable production anyways BUT watchin Roberts do his thing makes it special. If i had one criticism about this short film - it would be that the talent gap between his acting & the less experienced casts' can be a little distracting.
Amazing! One of the most underutilized couples in modern Marvel movie/TV history! They only focused on Wolverine/ Jean/Cyclops love-triangle when they had Rogue and Gambit as well... Gambit follows rogue around like a puppy dog he just adores her! Also Rogue is an actual BA - Class/ Grade Mutant aka BadAss which is such a shame we never got to see her true powers in X-Men/ MCU movies.. same as Gambit other then Origins scenes. With all the material from comics to X-Men TAS and now X-MEN 97' to use..what a shame. But great Vid I can't believe I missed this!
I didn't realize or notice until after watching it that it was actually a fan made film. That makes it a 10 out of 10. Eric Roberts is one of my favorites.
EXCELLENT. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. This is the Gambit and Rogue we know, Love and Want. This needs to be the movie of one of their origins or something. I want three hours of this
Yea, Fix really screwed the pooch with Dark Phoenix. They should have done Inferno, the special effects are finally there. They introduced Sinister adlt the end of Apocalypse, then Illyana in New Mutants. So bring them together in X-Men: Inferno and then at the end of it, have them concerned about what to do with the new team of mutants... With Cable and Domino (From Deadpool 2) stepping up, like they're taking them in. Then we get an ACTUAL X-Force movie, where maybe they picked a couple more guys up, along the way... Like Warpath or Siryn. Fox could have had their very own universe... But they thought another crack at the Phoenix would solve their problems. Pretty sad when a cartoon has upstaged not one, but two cinematic attempts of a story.
Well except the fact she can single handily take on the avengers twice. The other chick shoulda been dead real quick. Not to mention how did she get captured.
@@rakka3747 or why she couldnt fly, had no super strength, knew how to use the other womans powers completely and knew where a guy in a car randomly driving was?
This dude unlocked my childhood fondness of how fkn cool gambit was!!him and cyclops were/are my favorite x-men hesus wolverine has a stranglehold on that franchise
It’s quite good for an amateur movie. Gambit and Rogue look especially good. This actress is suitable for the role of Rogue a thousand times better than Anna Paquin. Rogue from the nineties. Perfect! I sincerely hope that Marvel will take these actors to roles in future movies.
I like Anna Paquin, she's a good actress. The problems lie with the writers and how they gave her little to nothing to work with. She became this appealing love interest with too many unnecessary damsel in distress roles. And then demoted her to 1-2 minute cameos when that stopped working.
@@evilcleo the problem was, Ms Marvel is not in the XMen universe. The Rogue most people are familiar with is the one powered with Ms Marvel's stolen powers. Otherwise Rogue is exactly what Paquin was, someone that can temporarily steal the powers of other mutants, no super strength and no flight as a base power
December 2022, And I Did Not Know That I Watched, Liked, and Commented 2 years ago in 2020 lmao. Time sure does fly. Anyway, watching this again really shows me how this video is great!!! Thanks again for sharing.
Could be worse, coulda been Deadpool in that one movie.. (But yeah, Gambit is technically, biologically, the most powerful mutant there ever was.. Sadly he couldn't control his powers and was lobotomized, so all he has is the neutered version of what he was born with.)
@@marked4death076 Yeah, Sinister de-powered him at his request because he couldn't control them. Then Gambit time-traveled and had Nathanial Essex (Sinister) put it back in his head. So for a brief period in the Fabian Nicieza ongoing series he was very powerful. But he released it all to win the fight against New Sun and went back to normal at the end. That part of the story's collected in "Gambit Complete Collection vol. 2"

What sold me was his voice work and mannerisms.
Is not a matter to find the right idea. They are already there. The problem is the Disney studios always kissing sjw ass. That’s why plots tend to be so simple, there is no gore nor sex when needed and outfits looks like some power ranger theme fashion parade.
Check on youtube and you ll find a video explaining and showing how much cooler all outfit were meant to be for each movie and how Disney studio wiped out till the last of them. they were so much more believable, steam punk, original, I swear every single one was ten times better then the final filtered products
@Da le Disney has always been a family friendly company. I'd prefer my superhero movies without gore and sex, as do many others. You don't need any of that to be mature or get an audience. Batman, Avatar ATLA, Gargoyles, and the original X-Men show all had mature, dark tones and got adult audiences without any gore, sex or going too dark. Something can be satisfying and have a PG or under rating.
How many of you got here by accident and became thankful 2 minutes into this masterpiece? Me!!!
Idk....Thumbnail had me iffy
Update: That was friggin awesome
Facts I seen gambit and went crazy
Facts
Why havent we seen this on the big screen yet!?...one more with wolvy and xmen and gambit PLEASE!!!!
Gambit movie: taking forever to even be made
Fans: Fine... I'll do it myself.
By the way, I gotta say, Gambit's reaction to Rogue being captured made me internally squeal in delight. About time we saw them two together.
Is this a Fan creation? No way! Its spectacular
@@QuintessentiallyEssential no
The real gambit movie got scrapped and canceled.
@@CH-bi8ug yes it is.
@@shawnmiessner9230 I am
Gambit has always been my favorite X-men and this did him justice.
I don't care. This is the real Gambit look I wanted him to have. Make it real. Make it a movie. Make it HAPPEN!!
I have to admit, I'm really impressed. Top notch production, and the Gambit accent reminded me of the X-men animated series. Kudos to the cast and crew for a job well done
Nick, you are my Gambit. I've only been waiting 30 years for someone to do my Cajun justice. THANK YOU. I cant wait to see more.
Gambit is such a dynamic character.
Expert Martial Artist
Expert Acrobat
Bojutsu Expert
Expert Marksman
Master Thief
And his powers haven't even been talked about yet.
I like a Alpha level Gambit, because he isn't too powerful to not have to integrate his skills with his powers...But if there was one power I would like him to have that he has at a omega level but at a alpha level other than his traditional tactile kinetic conversion and acceleration with inanimate objects would be the ability to absorb kinetic energy as well to enable him to have limitless endurance. The ulitmate defensive and passive power that makes sense for Gambit to have is to not tire on a molecular level.
I don't know if it's canon, but I've heard his physique is perfectly constructed for constant movement on a molecular level from stored kinetic energy. That's the coolest concept that goes well with his offensive powerset to charge objects.
This had the quality of like a movie or tv show. Great job to everyone involved!
While Hollywood continues to spit out garbage they "recycle", talented filmmakers are out here making fan films better than current movies out right now. Keep creating amazing work!
Agreed I'm impressed
His work is amazing ,he's the perfect gambit
@@joshuasartain2991 you can say that again. Bateman himself studied and practiced the art of the Bo staff. No wonder he looked so natural with it in these Gambit fan films.
It's not bad but God....the accents, awful.
Speaking of recycled garbage, this comment has been remade, reimagined and retarded as long as people have been making, “fan films”. Better than current films? Stop. Just stop. This one in particular is especially awful. You’ve lost your objectivity if you think otherwise. Lower budget shouldn’t mean lower your expectations for what you/we all call, “Good.”
I've waited patiently for the new installment and I was not disappointed! Gambit and Rogue...YES!!!
This is a masterclass:
Respect for the source material and knowledge about the characters.
Good story and script, solid three acts.
Good production.
Good cast.
Good post-production.
A work that shows respect for the fans, who are the core and the heart of your audience.
In short: great quality.
Disney... Marvel... You are the students in this class, learn.
They need to hire this man, he got gambit and Rouge right, watch all the xmen saga they should learn from this guy
! even the actors was on point!
Could use a little more work on the accent and fix a bit of the writing/language for the cajun wording. But still entertaining.
His fighting skills are great but he could work on his acting tbh. Didn't sell the role as well as gambit from the wolverine movie
I think he only played the roll of gambit
The fact that they got Eric Roberts to play the Bad guy, means they not just regular fans. I’m sure they have a serious project for Gambit. I love it.
Your probably right they really need to put something big together.
They also had Nathan Fillion for Uncharted and nothing happened 😅
No offense but Eric Roberts does work that pays, nothing more. Don’t get your hopes up.
@@F_the_G Well Nathan Fillion was the one that made that Fan Film specifically so that he could play Nathan Drake.
Maybe a prototype for Disney+ ?
Gambit was always my favorite. Even without his mutant abilities, the powers he gained from his clan were amazing.
People always forget he has supernatural powers as well as mutant abilities.
Absolutely, man
Wait, what supernatural powers? I don't remember this. If so, he's even more my favorite.
I first learned about Gambit as a kid watching Wolverine and the X-men and he's been my favorite ever since. Kickstarted in me a lot of sruff. Love for polearms like his staff, general aesthetic and an undying love for playing cards. This short film showcases him beautifully so thanks for giving one of my childhood heroes his proper treatment
This was beyond cool. Well done to everyone involved. Loved seeing Gambit and Rogue together. Also a treat seeing Rogue done right, finally.
Yes! Rogue was finally done right & is beautiful! Not some gapped tooth hideous creature!
@Matthew Estrada Remy's eyes would be the perfect thing
That is how I pictured Gambit and Rogue when I used read the comics, fantastic, found accidently and so glad I did. Great job Def need more
Finally get to see Gambit and Rogue using their powers the right way and talking the way I remember from the cartoon from years back. This is how Anna should have been talking.
Well, they did depower Rogue, but in the overall scheme of things, and knowing them, it was all part of the plan. Rogue does have high invulnerability, strength and speed, so could have easily gotten out of the machine and beat Majik in a second, but then the payday wouldn't have been worth it.
@@russbrewer2778I was gonna say the same thing. If Rogue had her full powerset those goons would’ve been dead meat in seconds
@@russbrewer2778 Rogue doesn't have any of that unless it's the version of her that sapped Ms Marvels powers from the 90s "Uncanny" comics run. Thats not Rogues' "normal" powerset
@@MyZ001not true
Rogue gained her powers Oct 1st 1992 while the animated series did not come out until Oct 31st 1992.
So she gained then first in the comics and she was originally supposed to be a version of Carol Danvers until the books were cancelled in 1979.
Since then she has had Ms. Marvel’s powers. The X-Men movie circa 2000 is the only time that they did not give her the extra power set.
@@jj-ph6rz U are completely wrong... She has absorbing abilities ONLY. The flight, strength, and speed ALL came from Carol Danvers. U don't even know the story lol... They were tryna break Magneto outta jail when the whole thing happened with Ms Marvel. It has had so many stories over time explaining their beef. Rogue has even been knocked out by Danvers when Danvers had her abilities restored in the comics. Rogue has not had Danvers's abilities for decades now, and I'm 40.
Eric Roberts? Damn, the man just won't stop working!
At this point he's just after the Guinness for most roles... I think he's at 500+ at this point...
@@vicmartonewaht... ive never heard of this guy brfore 😮
Marvel please note fans want Gambit! He's a key character, not just a cameo.
@Ray Watkins Although I had faith in Tatum's Gambit. That has finally been officially scrapped.
For the love of everything on this planet do NOT cast channing Tatum
Take note but don’t do your normal sjw shit and make him badass
Why is he a KEY character?
I don't think Gambit fans would want to see how Disney would portray him
What's amazing is they actually got an A-List actor to play Nicky (Eric Roberts). Every aspect if this fan-made film is a masterpiece. Marvel should take notes and cast this whole crew
I was wondering if that was him
Good thing someone noticed who that was. 🤣
Eric Roberts has never even been a b list actor. Dude is c list at the highest
@@GZP1023 I'm trying to figure out how you think he's A c-list actor? He's been in over 500 films and is 1 of numerous A list actors without an Oscar (Example of others w/o: Wood Harrelson, Robert Downey Jr. , Samuel L. Jackson.) If you've been in over so many films and have been nominated on numerous occasions, it shows your worth as an actor.
@@GZP1023 Man, you don't know actors very well, lol.
No lie that was dope af. I hope marvel paying attention. Gambit could easily be rated R like Deadpool
They are paying attention, I would not be surprised he does not get sued, since it Disney who owns X men now
I think the word is, "should."
@@mrmushin1 fawk disney WOK ass
They could do better honestly
I was just about to write the same thing
Gambit Play For Keeps might be the Best Fan Film of all time, fr fr
i still dont understand how could Xmen have so many movies and almost nothing about this character.
it's a business and it's very difficult to write a story that will engage a mainstream audience and a diehard fanbase at the same time. I'm a casual and I don't want to watch his origin story, fans probably do. Plus I doubt they can find an actor that can do the cajun accent justice - an issue I think you might criticize.
@@paigeturner2055 but Gambit have a crap load of good stories about him, and with him involved. Even Apocalypse arc could get him.
There are too many good X-Men out there. I just can't get into the movies Sony put out. I'm hoping Disney reboots the X-Men and gives it the same treatment it did the Avengers. Take decades of characters and plot and take keep at true as possible to the source material.
I mean the old excuse was it would have to be r rated but after deadpool they can do it now . Also they could go many ways with his story hes actually super powerful but has a mental block to keep them under control
Can't have a macho guy calling woman Cher lol, way to sexist
Gambit has always been my favorite X-Men, being from Louisiana and all.
Nick they gotta give you that role man!!
I'm saying the same thing man I'm pray on it
RIGHT
Great film
Always loved Gambit as a character. Wanted to see more of him and Logan interacting. The 90s cartoon made me love their dynamic.
This film shows exactly why I love gambit and why he is such a smooth badass
This just proves there are people out that that can make a stunning comic adaptation and still stay true to the characters, it's the studio exec's that ruin all these movies.
Yup
Too true.
Well said! they destroy the plots and costumes!!
Especially on the costumes part, if I see another all black X men costume again, ima just go stick to throwbackz
Could’ve agree more 👍🏾...
"Everyone can relax. Gambit has returned. " this is my most fave line of his in X-Men the Animated. ♥
ua-cam.com/video/hUh9VIVJ18Q/v-deo.html
Bishop was like.. TRAITORrRR
Eric Roberts, playing the same character he plays in all his films... himself. This puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Well done
You should watch Best of the Best :)
Steven Martin one of my fav movies growing up
Ellen Hollman..... One of my ALL TIME FAVES and plays an excellent Rogue.... THIS IS a BRILLIANT 'Fan Film'... (as recommended by 'The Dave Cullen Show')... 👍 😎🇬🇧
Gambit is my favorite and this is HANDS DOWN the best representation of Him and Rogue I've seen in film. GREAT JOB!
This guy needs his own movie. Perfect Gambit.
I wouldn't say all of that
Disagree. Bad accent. A lot of poor delivery of specific lines. Not all bad just not a great Remy. Believable enough but just doesn't have his swagger. To play Remy one must exude charisma. And that accent is so very specific that it needs to be on point. His normal speech patterns came out too frequently.
@@Lockn3s5 100% agree, he is servicable at a comic-con, but not anything with a decent budget clearly. Too cosplay-ey
His hair is wrong just doesn't resemble gambit for me and why is Magick even in it lol
He's a modern take on gambit. In the 90s cartoon is the only other comparison they're really is. An it's not realistic for today. The accent is settle, no over done. We have accents but not as thick as hollywood likes you to think we do. Only thing he's missing is contact lenses. Other than that leave it.
I enjoy the fact that Gambit wields a bo staff and throwing cards. I also that awesome trench coat and I love those mutants.
watched this when it first came out via facebook. It still gives me the same feeling over a year later. i could watch this over and over like its a blockbuster film. This team deserves the budget to take this to the next level.
It is a fecking Hollywood movie...
One of the best fan films I ever seen!! Gambit & Rogue were just like how they are in comicbook!!!
That is Eric Roberts! How can a fan made video be this good?!? Kickstarter for the full length feature I am begging you!
How da fuck is eric roberts is in a fan film this cant be a fan project or lets just say is a fan but clearly with $$$
@@lazybunny1823 lol lol right...as soon as I saw Eric I was like wtf. Hell yes!
1st thought he was playing sebastian shaw...
Eric Robert’s is one of the BEST OF THE BEST! Lol
i know Eric's hurtin for cash but no matter if it's a big budget hollywood blockbuster or an independent net video, he always delivers the goods. it would have been a respectable production anyways BUT watchin Roberts do his thing makes it special. If i had one criticism about this short film - it would be that the talent gap between his acting & the less experienced casts' can be a little distracting.
Amazing! One of the most underutilized couples in modern Marvel movie/TV history! They only focused on Wolverine/ Jean/Cyclops love-triangle when they had Rogue and Gambit as well... Gambit follows rogue around like a puppy dog he just adores her! Also Rogue is an actual BA - Class/ Grade Mutant aka BadAss which is such a shame we never got to see her true powers in X-Men/ MCU movies.. same as Gambit other then Origins scenes. With all the material from comics to X-Men TAS and now X-MEN 97' to use..what a shame. But great Vid I can't believe I missed this!
WHY DOESNT HE HAVE HIS OWN MOVIE. HE HAS THE THE PERSONALITY, TRAITS, AND BACKSTORY!!!
Cuz no actor can act like Gambit.
@@majinbuu6499 Josh Holloway could act Gambit perfect imo
@@majinbuu6499 I liked taylor kitsch as gambit
Channing Tatum was supposed to play him. His character in Hateful Eight was somewhat of a warmup
Now that Disney owns, well, everything they probably don’t want a seedy character like Gambit in their franchises.
I didn't realize or notice until after watching it that it was actually a fan made film. That makes it a 10 out of 10. Eric Roberts is one of my favorites.
I LOVED the detail of his gloves. Great throwback to the original cartoon.
Gambit is so dam slept on...plz somebody give this guy a movie n make him badass. Or at least throw him into a Deadpool movie.
Nah he deserves his own movie. I feel Deadpool would just take up most of jokes and screen time.
This comment aged like fine wine.
THS COMENTS AGED SO WELL
@@atlaer2303 fr
❤❤❤❤❤yes I agree
I thought I was watching a preview for a Gambit movie, he's always been one of my favorite characters. You really brought his style to life.
Same here when someone sent this to me..
We needs this on Netflix as a series
Name plz
i agree ... it would be great.
agreed!
Rogue & Gambit
noooo netflix would ruin it somehow. hulu maybe?
EXCELLENT. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. This is the Gambit and Rogue we know, Love and Want. This needs to be the movie of one of their origins or something. I want three hours of this
Been a Rogue and Gambit fan for many many years and this is the kind of movie I would love to see on the big screen with them.
This is the best X-Men based film I've ever seen. Marvel, hire these dudes.
This is the most "official" unofficial trailer I have ever seen.
True that!
Def a good one
Not a trailer but it was amazing!
facts
Which movie is this
This is literally 10 times better of whatever Dark Phoenix was supposed to be 😬👍🏾
Holy crap totally agree LMAO Dark Phoenix was awful.
Holy crap I don't know what was worse, that or Apocalypse
LOL I would pay to watch Dark Pheonix then this. I mean this is good cause its free but it no where near in the acting department. LOL
Yea, Fix really screwed the pooch with Dark Phoenix. They should have done Inferno, the special effects are finally there. They introduced Sinister adlt the end of Apocalypse, then Illyana in New Mutants.
So bring them together in X-Men: Inferno and then at the end of it, have them concerned about what to do with the new team of mutants... With Cable and Domino (From Deadpool 2) stepping up, like they're taking them in. Then we get an ACTUAL X-Force movie, where maybe they picked a couple more guys up, along the way... Like Warpath or Siryn.
Fox could have had their very own universe... But they thought another crack at the Phoenix would solve their problems. Pretty sad when a cartoon has upstaged not one, but two cinematic attempts of a story.
Can this be made into a series? I'd watch all the episodes endlessly..🤩🥰😍♠️♠️❤️❤️
This is how Rogue is supposed to be portrayed holy shit
SabakunoRaikiri hell yeah!
Yes indeed
Well except the fact she can single handily take on the avengers twice. The other chick shoulda been dead real quick. Not to mention how did she get captured.
@@rakka3747 or why she couldnt fly, had no super strength, knew how to use the other womans powers completely and knew where a guy in a car randomly driving was?
I love how cool rogue was. I didn’t really jive with the emo phase she was having. Not all teen girls are emo!
Channing is cool but I don't know anybody who can rock a bo staff like Nick man!
Its crazy!
How can I like this a million times? Gambit is one of my favorite X-Men Characters from the comics. This was great!
Hands down the best comic book fan film ive seen.
This is a brilliant work of art. I have never seen such a professional-grade 20 minute film that captures Remmy and Rogue so perfectly.❤
Always loved Remmy, the cajun, swamp rat and Gumbo, the pro gambler Gambit.
This was amazing! Bateman was perfect Gambit. This looked great. This is exactly how the big screen version should look.
I really hope marvel hires everyone here this is the gambit fans deserve. "Got any of that juice left cher"
Juan Soto don’t worry they won’t 🤪
Are you blind and deaf looks nothing like Gambit and definitely doesn't sound anything like him
This dude unlocked my childhood fondness of how fkn cool gambit was!!him and cyclops were/are my favorite x-men hesus wolverine has a stranglehold on that franchise
closets thing we are probably gunna get to a Gambit movie in a while... I'LL TAKE IT 👍
Well if agambit movie isn,t getting the greenlight. At least include him inna X-men TV series or to be included in the MCU
Holy cow! This was fan-made? Amazing quality from start to finish. Kudos to all who had a hand in making it.
It’s quite good for an amateur movie.
Gambit and Rogue look especially good. This actress is suitable for the role of Rogue a thousand times better than Anna Paquin. Rogue from the nineties. Perfect!
I sincerely hope that Marvel will take these actors to roles in future movies.
It's Ellen Hollman, the only thing i've seen her in is Spartacus
Well, they hired Eric Robert's and Nick Bateman. It's not exactly amateur.
Took me a minute to get used to the Gambit actor (I picture his face as more narrow) but Rouge is great. Better than the X-flicks.
I like Anna Paquin, she's a good actress. The problems lie with the writers and how they gave her little to nothing to work with. She became this appealing love interest with too many unnecessary damsel in distress roles. And then demoted her to 1-2 minute cameos when that stopped working.
@@evilcleo the problem was, Ms Marvel is not in the XMen universe. The Rogue most people are familiar with is the one powered with Ms Marvel's stolen powers. Otherwise Rogue is exactly what Paquin was, someone that can temporarily steal the powers of other mutants, no super strength and no flight as a base power
December 2022, And I Did Not Know That I Watched, Liked, and Commented 2 years ago in 2020 lmao. Time sure does fly. Anyway, watching this again really shows me how this video is great!!! Thanks again for sharing.
Gambit is my favorite Xman, and he was done right in this! Better than a lot of official stuff I’ve watched over the years!!!
Gambit has always been my favorite X Men character and I was pissed at how weak they made him in Wolverine...
Could be worse, coulda been Deadpool in that one movie.. (But yeah, Gambit is technically, biologically, the most powerful mutant there ever was.. Sadly he couldn't control his powers and was lobotomized, so all he has is the neutered version of what he was born with.)
@@Sheriff_K I think that's debatable. I don't disagree that New Sun was CRAZY powerful, but more than Franklin Richards or Legion?
@@Sheriff_K wasnt it sinister who basically knocked gambits powers down? At gambits request tho i think
@@marked4death076 Yeah, Sinister de-powered him at his request because he couldn't control them. Then Gambit time-traveled and had Nathanial Essex (Sinister) put it back in his head. So for a brief period in the Fabian Nicieza ongoing series he was very powerful. But he released it all to win the fight against New Sun and went back to normal at the end. That part of the story's collected in "Gambit Complete Collection vol. 2"
@@Sheriff_K Jean grey as phoenix kills him in 1 sec

Better than every movie releases in past couple of months

Channing tatum is a TERRIBLE gambit. This guy is way better
Agree, I want a gambit movie but only if Nick plays him cos Channing was god awful
Channing did a good job
Honestly I wouldn't mind it if this were to become a bigger project. Your bo staff skills are so on point it'd be worth it just for that
