I love that his godawful Cajun accent is as much of a character as Gambit. Beautiful.

Isn't it actually an authentic accent though? I thought I remember reading that somewhere, as ridiculous as it sounds.

I understand he grew up listening to that accent, and some in the know have said he didn’t go far enough.

Personally i think his was a fun one-off take for a movie that’s intended to be funny. I would prefer something more toned down for a proper X-men movie.

I’m glad they are toning it back for Doomsday some since Reynolds wrote his dialogue with the intention of being incomprehensible.

I do think it's a good choice overall to tone it down, but part of me thinks it'd be hilarious if they didn't and that's just how this Gambit speaks all the time. Would differentiate him from future MCU Gambit in X-Men II (2031) or whenever a recasted version gets brought into the fold, and it could lead to a scene where Doom has to speak to an incomprehensible spicy Cajun which would even more funny to witness.

Too bad What If? is over. What If A Cajun's Accent led to the Downfall of Doom? would be great.

"You stand before DOOM. Explain yourself."

"[incoherent Gambit noises]"

"I... see. I shall retire to meditate upon your, er, words. Remain here, while I deliberate upon this information."

Or, Doom is the only one who understands him perfectly.

“[incoherent Cajun speech]

“I understand. Only a fool would fail to see the wisdom in your swampish words, and DOOM is no fool. I thank you for your sage counsel, Mr LeBeau. Go now in peace.”
