Gambit Watch Order: Every MCU Appearance

To watch Gambit in order, start with X-Men Origins: Wolverine and follow the 2 titles below in story order, ending (for now) with Deadpool & Wolverine. Remy LeBeau, Gambit, goes from his Fox debut to Channing Tatum’s MCU version.

The releases run from 2009 to 2024. That works out to about 3h 55m of viewing in all. Next up is Avengers: Doomsday.

Who is Gambit?

Gambit is a product of the X-Men's boom years. Chris Claremont and Jim Lee created Remy LeBeau, who turned up in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 in July 1990 and The Uncanny X-Men #266 in August 1990, with collectors still arguing over which counts as the real first appearance. He is a Cajun thief raised in the LeBeau Clan of the Thieves' Guild, able to convert potential energy into kinetic energy and famous for charged playing cards. Uncanny X-Men #350 revealed his role in the Mutant Massacre. He married Rogue in 2018.

Taylor Kitsch played him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009, the only Fox film to put the character on screen during the studio's run. Channing Tatum signed on in 2014 to star in a solo Gambit movie, which went through three directors and several release dates over five years before Disney canceled it in May 2019, soon after buying Fox. Tatum did get to play Remy in the end, in an MCU film that kept it as a surprise. A.J. LoCascio voices him in X-Men '97.

The same Disney deal that ended the solo film gave Tatum a second route to the role. In March 2025 he was announced as Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18, 2026, and that is the only confirmed plan so far.
