If they go forward with this, for the entire movie all of Gambit's dialogue should be subtitled and none of it audibly intelligible. All characters interacting with Gambit should understand him clearly except for one secondary character that can't NEVER understand Gambit is saying and this character doesn't understand how everyone else can understand Gambit so clearly all the time.

Isn't that basically Boomhauer on King of the Hill?
Wait, you can’t understand Boomhauer?
I can understand him now, but when I was younger, I didn't pay that much attention and just thought he was speaking gibberish.

Understand him? I know that guy. He's my buddy.
Yes, which I suppose makes Dale Gribble Nightcrawler (pocket sand!) and Hank would be Beast.
Isn't that basically Kenny on South Park?
They should have subtitles.
And when the conversation really gets going the subtitles should just break off completely, "I think he said he agrees.", "Huh?", "No, I have no idea either.", " Listen I've been half guessing for a while now, I just got this job to help out with bills, this can't be a real language.", "Oh my god this idiot is still babbling", and after a while Gambit's eyes look down a bit, he slows down talking, while the subtitles are still insulting him, and finally cards the off the side of the screen, and you hear a brief scream.
That's sort of what they did in the hideout scene, everybody else can understand gambit except Deadpool.
I AM GROOT
can't NEVER
So that character can sometimes understand him?
Huh. I thought it was a fun cameo because of how badly he did, but in a fun way. Like, he butchered gambit.
But still, Channing Tatum is always fun to see, so fuck it.
Didn’t someone else play Gambit in one of the first few modern Marvel movies? Or did I remember that wrong?
Yea, this guy:
Taylor Kitsch. He did a good job with not much time.
Yeah, I’d much rather see Taylor K make another appearance as Gambit.
I definetly thought he was better as an actual character. Tatum felt more like a one off joke than something to take seriously.
Tatum's face looks like a videogame character. every time I see him it feels like old CGI I don't know why. it's like his skin doesn't have pores or subsurface scattering.
I think you are forgetting that this was a deadpool movie, so every character feels light hearted. In an actual movie with real story, I think Tatum would nail it.
Super fair point, you're right that his character would likely be written differently in a more serious story.
I liked him in A Princess of Mars (or as Disney botched it- John Carter)
We don't talk about that movie, but yes.
He was great as fan service and a joke for the one movie. If he does come back I’d rather see him play a more serious (and understandable) Gambit.
The classic costume is not a good look for his face either.
That said, I did appreciate his cards obliterating ribcages instead of just knocking people down, that was neat.
Yeah I don’t know how to make that headpiece look good in live action on anyone, really. His and Jean Grey’s head pieces are so weird.
I say, keep Tatum, keep the action parts, modify the costume, write him more seriously.
I think the comments in the article are spot on.
Every time I hear the name Channing Tater I think of potatoes and I don't know why
Well me too. Channing tateyum
