by

As a long-time fan of Channing Tatum and the X-Men universe, I must say, the news of his portrayal of Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine has been nothing short of exhilarating! The passion he’s expressed for this character is truly heartwarming.

Everyone was thrilled when Channing Tatum finally had his moment as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. However, will this role boost his career as the cherished X-Men character? Indeed, Channing Tatum expresses optimism about it. In an interview with Variety, he expressed his desire to continue playing Gambit, stating, “I’ve already made it clear to Marvel that I still want to do it.” He is referring to a potential standalone Gambit movie, naturally featuring Tatum himself. He emphasizes, “I’ve been expressing my wish for this role for the past ten years… It’s now up to Bob Iger and Kevin Feige. I can only hope.”

To tell you the truth, it seems like a strong desire you’re expressing there! The popularity of Deadpool and Wolverine, combined with the buzz surrounding Channing Tatum’s Gambit, has certainly piqued my curiosity about what the future might hold.

On Instagram, Channing Tatum expressed heartfelt thoughts about getting the chance to portray Gambit in the films Deadpool & Wolverine. He recounted, “I remember rushing backstage after Ryan unveiled the first glimpse of Deadpool 1 to the world, and I think I just hugged him then and there, saying something like ‘Holy smokes, you did it man. It’s perfect.’ I didn’t know him well at that time. But since then, I can honestly say that Ryan has been one of the few who have stood by me in this industry. I thought I had lost the opportunity to play Gambit. But Ryan fought for me and Gambit. I owe him a great deal, perhaps forever. I’m not sure how I could ever repay what this experience means to me. I adore you, buddy. Shout-out also to Shawn Levy – an incredible creator in every aspect. Things happen for a reason. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this movie. In my opinion, it’s a masterpiece. And pure, unadulterated joy. I was practically shouting in the theater. Let’s go!!”

The intense affection for Gambit that Channing Tatum clearly displays is touching us profoundly. It’s high time he got a Gambit film produced without delay!
