Gambit still being in the Void could be how he returns in one of the upcoming Avengers movies. While a solo film for the character is unlikely, even if Tatum has said he is talking to Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige about it, Gambit and the other multiverse heroes of the Resistance could very well appear in eitherAvengers: DoomsdayorAvengers Secret Wars. There are theories thatthe Void could be transformed into Battleworld. The latter is a key location from the comics' Secret Wars, with Battleworld being a patchwork planet made of parts of iconic locations from several universes.
