Two Gambits. One new Gambit comic series. Just in time for his MCU return in Avengers: Doomsday movie

Gambit’s next comic will force two Remy LeBeaus (or is it Remy LeTwos?) to face each other for the first time.

What kind of hero is the X-Man Gambit for the Marvel U? What kind of husband for Rogue? What kind of man is he... for himself? Those are the kind of questions begging answers, and those are the kinds of answers you will be getting in a new solo series debuting this fall from Marvel Comics.

Gambit: Gone, by writer Steve Orlando (The Marauders, Midnighter) and artists Eduardo Aoudino (Moonstar) and Gerardo Sandoval (Spider-Man & Wolverine), will catch up as Gambit (and the Marvel U) deal with the fact that there are now two Gambits running around. Picking up from the recent X-Men of Apocalypse event, this five-issue Gambit series will feature twin narratives of the two Remy LeBeau (or is that Remy LeTwos?) that will come to intertwine as the series climaxes.

"Following up on the ending of Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo’s X-Men of Apocalypse took me off-guard in the best way!" says Orlando in the announcement. "I was lucky enough to work with the Cajun in X-Men Infinity--and we got on famously. The charisma, the pot-stirring, the swagger and confidence enlivened every scene he was in! For me, it's been that way since I first met him in 1992. So to find out we'd have not one, but TWO Gambits, well...I just had to roll the dice."

Its always a good time for a new Gambit comic, but now more than ever as Channing Tatum's Gambit is pledged to return in this December's Avengers: Doomsday movie. With Gambit: Gone debuting in September, that means any new (or returning) Gambit fans will have a new Gambit comic on the shelves, and by early 2027 a near-mint collected edition to add to their shelves.

Gambit: Gone #1 (of 5) goes on sale September 2.


Why Channing Tatum's Gambit cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine is the feel-good Hollywood story of the summer.
