I generally roll my eyes when superhero movies announcements are being made, i'm pretty disengaged from the genre apart from the really stand out few, like Guardians of the Galaxy, X-men days of future past etc..
I do however love the x-men cartoon & comics and Gambit was one of the best characters, so I was pretty interested when i saw this, could be garbage but potentially could be awesome too.
In the same article I saw that Michael Fassbender is attached to the assassins creed move, which piqued my interest, as I have low expectations , on what could be great concept and with him on board it's significantly less likely to be awful.
Interested to hear your thoughts on Tatum as Gambit , or on the Super Hero genre and how much it dominates the box office now in general.

In a convoluted way I guess i was trying to say that it's an interesting enough of a choice for me to take note, when i zone out of a lot announcements on this stuff,
I hadn't even seen anything about Jupiter Ascending, I had to google it but it looks diabolical.
That reminded me of this video though, haven't seen it in a while, pretty amusing:
Apparently iframes are not 'simple' HTML so no embedding allowed, a link will have to do:
Edit: oh weird just the link automatically embedded w/o any HTML, good to know.
This plus his cameo in This Is The End made me like the guy though, I don't think he would've done either if he were a dick/took himself too seriously/etc. it leaves a good impression to me.
