As a die-hard X-Men fan who’s been following Gambit since the ’90s animated series, I can barely contain my excitement! Channing Tatum’s passion for the role is palpable, and his determination to bring Gambit to life on the big screen is truly inspiring.
Fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of Channing Tatum as Gambit in the crossover between Deadpool and Wolverine from the X-Men franchise.
Recently, the actor appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show, expressing his deep affection for his role. It seems he’d be willing to undertake nearly any task for a solo Gambit film.
Channing Tatum As Gambit
On Jimmy Fallon’s evening talk show, Channing Tatum disclosed that he had initially been cast for the Gambit film. Regrettably, because Fox was purchased by Disney, the project was unfortunately cancelled.
As I continued our chat, Kevin Feige from Marvel shared some exciting insights with me. He hinted that it’d be my challenge to weave a compelling Gambit tale within the existing narrative arc of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He literally was like, ‘I love Gambit. I just don’t know how to do it right now. I don’t know how [Gambit] fits into what we’re doing. So I need to have a minute to figure it out.’
Tatum stated that he’s now a bit more optimistic about the movie happening.
He jokingly said:
I would kill kittens… I would do lots of terrible things to make that happen.
Additionally, Tatum expressed his heartfelt appreciation towards Ryan Reynolds, as it was Reynolds who facilitated his roles in Deadpool and Wolverine.
It was just nothing and nowhere and he was like, ‘I want this for you, I want this in the movie, and I want to see it.’
Regarding Reynolds, he recently shared a deleted scene on X which suggests that the Gambit movie might indeed become a reality.
Gambit Is Alive!
Following the events of Deadpool & Wolverine, it was not clear, whether Gambit survived the void.
The deleted scene that Ryan Reynolds posted on X, reveals that Gambit is very much alive!
