Keanu Reeves and Marvel’s Gambit
The movie Gambit has had its fair share of trouble. It is based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. When the X-Men were under 20th Century Fox’s banner, there were various attempts to introduce the character but they were not received well. Later, a stand-alone film for the character kicked off production in 2014. After multiple cast changes and other issues, the film was finally completed to be screened o 13 March 2020.
When Disney acquired Fox, the movie was cancelled. If we trace back the cinematic history of Gambit, we will find that the first time a director thought of casting the X-Man, he thought Keanu Reeves would be fit for the role. And rightly so. This dates back to the 2003 movie X2 which was directed by Bryan Singer.

Last year, Kevin Feige had showed interest in casting Keanu Reeves to Marvel. Now that Disney has cancelled the movie Gambit, it is possible that they re-make the whole thing with Keanu Reeves in the lead role.
Just like the other X-Men, Gambit is a mutant born with superhuman abilities. In the case of Gambit, these abilities include mentally creating, controlling and manipulating kinetic energy of his own accord.
