Out of all the Xmen members they chose to omit...why Gambit!?!?!?Because he's a shallow character with very little interaction opportunities with the other characters around him at any level of depth. There was the brief moment after Storm re-emergence into the world as a child where they got the mentor the mentor and protege thing going as he trained her in the arts of being a thief, but after that all Gambit was was "I am style." Basically, his contribution to the team amounted to picking locks, being unfazed, doing acrobatics and card tricks and generally just being the resident Zaphod Beeblebrox.
I prefered Longshot before him. :P Now that was a character with some personality! (except he wasn't a mutant in the same sense as the others)
It's all moot though. Nightcrawler is the classic resident acrobat of the team and he's finally in the story. :D He can easily handle all the onscreen acrobatics and hopefully the more 'impish' side of his personality will get more screen time in sequels.
