Gambit

Of all those listed here, Gambit surprisingly has perhaps the best chance of coming to a cinema near you in the next year or so. Marvel have tried a few times to give him his own solo series, and while some have been more popular than others, they’ve never really lasted.

For a time, he actually shared an anthology comic book with Wolverine here in the UK (before being replaced by Deadpool), so he may be familiar to many of you non-comic book readers too. Regardless, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently confirmed plans to introduce Gambit in X-Men: Apocalypse before giving him his own spin-off, and the role has already been cast.

Who will it be? 22 Jump Street star Channing Tatum, an actor who expressed his desire to bring the character to the big screen before finally entering talks with Fox. There are at least enough Gambit stories to provide them with inspiration.
