Gambit is ass. He's been in the comics just over a dozen years and hasn't contributed much except as Rogue's love interest, the potential betrayer of the X-Men, and turning out in classic revisionist history to be the guy that recruited, for Mr. Sinister, the Marauders that massacred the Morlocks in Mutant Massacre. And his "cool" factor. As history goes, he's got zip. I could care less if he's in it or not... but if they do him well, I'll probably enjoy it.<br><br>As for the next film: MrClean, c'mon, they can't do the WHOLE Dark Phoenix thing next film. At least, they SHOULDN'T. Jean becoming Black Queen, turning dark, and ultimately dying would require a LOT of screen-time. And she's under water!!!!! You gotta let her be gone awhile, to make her return greater. and if, IF, she becomes Dark Phoenix & dies, doing it ONE FILM AFTER she already "died" is a cruel joke to the audience, especially those who DON'T know X-Men history. "Wait, if she died last film, why'd they bring her back just to kill her again?"<br><br>It'd be like if Spock died at the end of Star Trek III. Cheap.<br><br>Next film should, perhaps, have Sentinels, but government-backed mutant-killing machines is a tad close to Stryker's government-backed mutant-hunting humans.<br><br>There's plenty to do. Maybe a Mutant Massacre. Maybe return of the Brotherhood, and/or Juggernaut. And Jean's return. She should definitely return and be all Phoenix-y, but the Dark stuff, if they go that route, should come in #4. <p>Keith<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.toonimator.com">www.toonimator.com</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>
