Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Channing Tatum plays a comic-accurate Gambit in the comics, which suggests that a comic-accurate Rogue exists in his original timeline.
• Tatum's Gambit could return alongside a comic-accurate Rogue in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
• Anna Paquin could redeem her plain Rogue portrayal with a more powerful, rebellious, and colorful Rogue variant in a multiversal MCU title.

Channing Tatum's comic-accurate Gambit portrayal in Deadpool & Wolverine suggests a similar mutant could be introduced soon in the MCU. Deadpool & Wolverine's multiversal cameos allowed several characters to return after a long absence. For instance, Jennifer Garner reprises her Daredevil role nineteen years after Elektra, Wesley Snipes' Blade returns twenty years after Blade: Trinity, and Dafne Keen's X-23 returns seven years after the original Wolverine's death in Logan.
Channing Tatum's Gambit is a unique character in Deadpool & Wolverine. Gambit's presence in the Void itself is Deadpool & Wolverine's nod to a Marvel movie that never happened. Fox's Gambit movie started development in 2014, but fell into development hell for the next five years until it was canceled in 2019. Gambit, Tatum's passion project, seemed to be a lost cause with Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. However, Deadpool & Wolverine introduced Tatum's Gambit through the multiverse and left the door open for another appearance in the Multiverse Saga.
Gambit’s Comic-Accurate Appearance Suggests A Comic-Accurate Rogue Exists In His Universe Anna Paquin May Have Another Chance To Play A Faithful Portrayal Of Rogue On The Big Screen Custom image by Nicolas Ayala Channing Tatum played an incredibly comic-accurate Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, probably even more faithful to the comics than the version he would have played in Fox's less extravagant X-Men movie franchise. Since Channing Tatum's Gambit is so similar to most of his comic book counterparts, it's likely that a comic-accurate Rogue also exists in his original timeline, and it's possible that this Rogue will appear in a future MCU movie, namely Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
A comic-accurate Rogue would be rebellious, playful, and determined
A comic-accurate live-action Rogue would wear any of her iconic comic book costumes, from her original green villainess outfit with short hair to her yellow-and-green X-Men uniform with a brown leather jacket and voluminous curls. Most importantly, a comic-accurate Rogue would be rebellious, playful, and determined — a strong personality she develops after a long superhero career with the X-Men. This Rogue variant would also have super strength and be able to fly after absorbing Captain Marvel's powers years before.

8 How The X-Men Movies Failed Anna Paquin’s Rogue Repeatedly Fox's X-Men Movies Never Explored Rogue's Full Comic Book Personality Close X-Men introduced Anna Paquin's Rogue as an insecure young mutant, which accurately captures her personal struggle. However, the X-Men movies only focused on this aspect of the character. X-Men: Days of Future Past's theatrical cut left out all of Rogue's scenes, and X-Men: Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut barely gave her anything to do. Fox's following X-Men movies then ignored Rogue altogether, and the character hasn't appeared since. Before the MCU's X-Men reboot arrives, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars can give Anna Paquin's Rogue a last movie appearance similar to Channing Tatum's Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine.
