Will Channing Tatum Get His Own Gambit Movie? ‘Marvel Is Obsessed,’ Says Ryan Reynolds

by

As a dedicated Marvel fan who has followed Channing Tatum‘s career since his breakout role in Step Up, I am thrilled about the possibility of seeing more of him as Gambit in the MCU. His portrayal in Deadpool & Wolverine was nothing short of impressive, and Ryan Reynolds’ comments about Marvel’s enthusiasm for Tatum’s performance only fuel my excitement.

Fans of Marvel may anticipate further appearances from Channing Tatum as Gambit, following his brief appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine. It’s been reported that Tatum’s portrayal has caught the eye of Marvel Studios, with Ryan Reynolds (who plays Deadpool) hinting at a strong interest in Tatum’s performance. Reynolds shared this during a recent interview, highlighting that Tatum’s interpretation of Gambit is notable due to his impressive physicality and distinctive take on the character. For years, Tatum has been linked to the role of Gambit; he was initially slated to play the character in a film produced by Fox, but the project ultimately did not move forward.

During their chat, Reynolds drew parallels between Tatum’s path with Gambit and his own with Deadpool. He reminisced about the leaked test footage of him playing Deadpool in 2014, which played a significant role in convincing Fox to produce the film. Reynolds suggested that Tatum’s performance might hold similar weight in Marvel’s decision-making, as studios tend to require visual proof of a character’s potential appeal before making a firm commitment.

Furthermore, Comicbook shares that Reynolds lauded Tatum’s portrayal of Gambit, appreciating the actor’s commitment to accurately depict the character. After the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds expressed his praise for Tatum’s work in creating a comic-true Gambit. Reynolds highlighted that Tatum has invested a lot of time into making sure Gambit (also known as Remy LeBeau) is portrayed accurately within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Reynolds hopes to see more of Gambit, considering him one of the most fascinating and underused characters in Marvel’s collection.

While Marvel hasn’t officially announced any future roles, Reynolds’ and Tatum’s recent comments along with the success of Tatum’s debut have fueled fan speculation. The brief appearance of characters like Chris Evans’ Johnny Storm and Jennifer Garner’s Elektra suggests that Marvel might bring back some beloved X-Men characters in the future. As Marvel keeps growing its cinematic world, there’s a possibility that Tatum’s Gambit could return, introducing a fresh element to the ever-changing MCU landscape.
