Trivia: Ryan Reynolds posted a deleted scene on his social media in late August 2024, showing that Gambit survived Alioth's attack. While walking around Cassandra Nova's lair and the bodies of her defeated minions, Gambit turned around to see a portal opening, presumably to take him to his own universe or to allow him to enter the Sacred Timeline. Some of this can be seen blurrily in the background of the TVA at the end of the movie.
