Gambit

Can Robert Pattinson bring some life into this legendary Gambit? With buzz surrounding Marvel's intentions for this beloved character, Pattinson's magnetism and intensity will easily fit into the roguish charm and depth of Remy LeBeau. 

Pattinson can very usher in a fresh take on the character with grit yet charisma that would pair wit, complexity, and the heart of a gambler. As Gambit, Pattinson may captivate the audience while providing an unpredictable edge to Marvel's mutant world.

Cyclops

Known for his leadership in the X-Men, Cyclops is a character who demands strength and restraint. Robert Pattinson’s serious and brooding nature would suit Scott Summers’ internal struggle, balancing his intense responsibility with personal demons.

His portrayal could highlight Cyclops’ more vulnerable side, allowing Pattinson to explore leadership in the MCU’s evolving mutant saga. With the X-Men making their long-awaited MCU debut, Cyclops could play a key role in where Pattinson would shine.

Venom

Can Robert Pattinson play the next Venom? With the Venom franchise on its own way, a darker and more introspective version of Eddie Brock would be in line with Pattinson's acting style. His performances often have tortured souls, and this antihero role could let him explore both the dark and complex sides of Brock. 

As Marvel continues its Venom saga, it could really go further into the complexity of Pattinson's take on Venom by taking a deeper look into the internal chaos within Brock. This portrayal could be more introspective, creating a fresh and compelling version of the iconic antihero.
