Gambit, Nightcrawler in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'

Director Bryan Singer has revealed that two characters - Gambit and Nightcrawler could appear in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
It will mark Gambit's return since 2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'. Nightcrawler first appeared in 2003's 'X2', reported Ace Showbiz.
"I'm considering Gambit and potentially a young Nightcrawler for Apocalypse. We were going to have Nightcrawler in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and even wrote a scene, but I felt that we were forcing too many mutants in known history," Singer said.
Nighcrawler was a major character in the second 'X-Men' film which was also directed by Singer. Portrayed by Alan Cumming, the blue-skinned mutant was brainwashed into trying to assassin the President of the United States.

Meanwhile, Gambit was played by Taylor Kitsch in the first 'Wolverine' solo movie helmed by Gavin Hood. Channing Tatum was originally set to play the mutant in 2006's 'X-Men: The Last Stand', but the character was cut off from the story.
