Gambit, the third X-Men movie of 2016 (after the much awaited Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse), is expected to begin production in the next couple of weeks, with the shooting scheduled for this fall (read the updates, because Gambit has problems). However, despite already having announced the budget, there are still quite a few things to take care of.

Speaking of which, Gambit's costs are around $150 million, which is quite a big investment for a movie about a rather unknown character, from a studio which proved quite a few times that it can fail when it comes to superhero movies"¦

But let's not digress"¦

The casting call was just made and it may have revealed quite a few roles and plot points.

Fan favorite character for Gambit?

The first and most important (for us, anyway) role waiting to be cast in Gambit is the one of Louis. Sure enough, the name doesn't say anything "“ as it is supposed to, after all. However, the character's description says that he is elegant and intelligent, an entrepreneur in his mid-40's with a dark side.

Why does it sound so interesting? Because more and more websites are speculating that this Louis is in fact Mr. Sinister, the human empowered by Apocalypse himself.

Gambit and Mr. Sinister do have a history together, on one occasion the thief being hired to steal Weapon X files. This isn't all, since their history also includes some other events, such as the time when Sinister removed a part of Gambit's power, in a deal which also saw the hero becoming a mercenary for the villain.

Furthermore, if this character will indeed be introduced, then we might get an idea as to why the budget is so high. If he is established in this movie, than we can expect for some connections to be made to both X-Men: Apocalypse, as well as to other future movies.

On the next page, the love interest!
