Following the merger of Fox and Disney, both companies agreed that the rights to the X-Men characters would now be held by Marvel Studios.
In an interview with The Playlist, Gambit producer Reid Carolin shared details of what would have been the filming of Gambit, a film that was canceled by 20th Century Fox weeks after filming began.
“We made this world in New Orleans, which was a city of mutants that didn’t care about saving the world… They went there so they could use their powers to party and make out, and their hands could fry grease and anything else.”
Gambit, the mutant version of Goodfellas
Carolin conceived of Gambit as a crime film added with the mutant action that characterized the X-Men movies.
“So it was all these kind of low-level, mutant fights and disagreements and we set ourselves up in this mob world, almost like a mutant version of Goodfellas in New Orleans.”.
The producer defended the story of Gambit and hopes that Marvel Studios will consider this plot in the future, now that the mutant race will arrive in the future at The House of Ideas.
“TIt’s still one of my favorite scripts I’ve ever read; I mean, I worked on it, so it’s easy to say… I think it played very well in the (marvel) universe at Fox, Emma Watts had really championed it at Fox (where) they understood that when you got a little punk rock with these characters you could really attract the audience”.
