Singer remembered, "We thought about Gambit as the young boy on the basketball field, but the feeling was that, if he has the basketball and then releases it and it exploded, people would be like 'What's wrong with those basketballs?'"
Singer ingat, "Kami memikirkan Gambit sebagai anak muda di lapangan basket, tapi perasaannya adalah jika dia memiliki bola basket dan kemudian melepaskannya dan itu meledak, orang akan seperti 'Apa yang salah dengan bola basket itu?'
