Channing Tatum still really wants a Gambit movie, and he’s willing to do anything (seriously) to make that happen.
Spoilers ahead for Deadpool & Wolverine.
For many years now, Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street actor Channing Tatum has been desperately trying to make a Gambit movie happen. He’s a fan favourite X-Men character after all, and Tatum has a lot of love for the gambler too, but it’s never materialised. Until recently, kind of anyway, that is. While he’s not quite managed a solo outing just yet, he did feature pretty prominently in the MCU’s latest outing, Deadpool & Wolverine, as Gambit himself. He was there alongside some other familiar faces, like Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Wesley Snipes as Blade, but where they were returning to their characters for the first time in many years, Tatum was taking up the role for the first time.
