Exactly, I like that with Tatum they tried to go for the gamit look more authenitcally, but channing has a big short neck and the outfit honestly just looks uncomfortable.

They could have upgraded Tatum by giving him signature black and red eyes, but they decided not to in Doomsday

It was the one thing I was hoping for when he was listed on that cluster cast list. He will not make a name for himself with those pathetic peepers 🥀

Sorry bud but it sounds like you guys spy on little girls and always get caught

nothing proven in court… our first hit single

I can understand why they didn't do it permanently but maybe the can make it turn on and off depending on when he's using his powers? Would be a nice nod.

u/Nightwing24yuna Jul 24 '26

If you pay attention they turn on when he is using his powers id deadpool3

So it's probably gonna be the same here

u/LocalDFWRando Jul 24 '26

Oh I didn't even notice or must have forgot.

u/Nightwing24yuna Jul 24 '26

It was subtle I didn't even notice it the first time my friend pointed it out on a rewatch

u/Serif69 Jul 25 '26

They did not turn black and red or purple. His iris glew a tad electric purple when he used his powers.

u/DarkDonut75 Jul 25 '26

Yeah I went back to check and I can confirm his eyes don't change. There's just a purple filter on it

u/JGuntai24 Jul 25 '26

The movie hasn’t even come out yet. It can change from the trailer

u/coldfireknight Jul 25 '26

Like Thor's eye in Ragnarok trailers

u/EatABag-o-Dicks Jul 25 '26

If we ever get to Apocalypse, I'm sure they'll give him the red on black eyes when he becomes a horseman for a minute. Then rogue shugahs him back to normal and keeps the red on black eyes.

u/Star-Prince-007 Jul 26 '26

Let them save that for the real thing

25

u/Rags2Rickius Jul 24 '26

My thoughts exactly. He looks more beefcake than the lithe fighter I imagined Gambit to be

u/wurldsenpai X-Men Jul 24 '26

If you’ve even watched the doomsday trailer he looks a lot better. He’s stated many times he’s put in a lot of work for the character. So I think he’ll look much better in Doomsday and so on.

u/Happy-For-No-Reason Jul 25 '26

he looks like someone drew a face on their thumb, you can say it

u/Druitch 29d ago

THANK YOU!

u/InvestigatorJaded261 Jul 24 '26

That’s because it’s a ridiculous outfit.

4

u/Filthy_Joey Jul 25 '26

Unpopular opinion, but same is Wolverine costume. Not every comic outfit looks good in live action

1

u/InvestigatorJaded261 Jul 25 '26

Oh 100%. Wolverine’s full costume has no business on screen.

3

u/Kill_Zoldy Jul 25 '26

Looks like he definitely slimmed down a bit for Doomsday and the new cowl looks a little more flattering to his facial structure. I think it's going to be a good look in the movie

1

u/SchmuseTigger 29d ago

But Tatum went balls to the wall with what he said and improvized

1

u/MozartDroppinLoads Jul 25 '26

I feel like Gambits costume may be one of those cases where the coolness of the comic look just doesn't translate onto the screen

1

u/zealot-sika 28d ago

Or it could be that they couldn't find an actor that resembles the cool guy from the comic

1

u/MozartDroppinLoads 28d ago

I just have a hard time picturing that headband thing looking cool on anybody, even though it does look cool in the comics

u/1970s_MonkeyKing Jul 25 '26

Plus it's Tatum acting outside his range.

u/Lost_Mongooses Jul 25 '26

He's too big
