Gambit Takes on a Major Daredevil Villain Before X-Men '97 Season 2

Article excerpt

Marvel is capitalizing on renewed interest in Gambit by launching a new miniseries next month, just as fans anticipate the character's potential return in X-Men '97 Season 2. The timing comes after Gambit's dramatic death in the show's first season, which has fueled speculation about whether he'll reappear in upcoming episodes. Chris Claremont, the character's co-creator, is helming the new series titled Gambit: Wanted, which will pit the Cajun antihero against a major Daredevil villain. The move suggests Marvel sees commercial potential in the character's current cultural moment.
