Tatum talks ‘Gambit’

It’s been circling for a while, rumours of X-Men spin-0ffs here and there and even though hardcore Wolverine fans might not appreciate the Wolverine movies, they have proven they sell and they sell well! So Hollywood has cast it’s steely gaze on the mutants and according to Total Film, Lauren Shuler Donner (film producer) and Fox have been tossing around the idea of a standalone Gambit  movie and they have spoken to actor Channing Tatum about taking on the  role of the Cajun.

Gambit

 

Tatum has confirmed that he met with Donner about the possible role and he’s expressed his interest if the film becomes more than an idea:

I met with Lauren Schuler Donner…Gambit’s the only X-Man that I’ve ever loved. I [mean] I’ve loved them all, they’re all great, [but] I don’t know, I guess just being from down south, I just related to him…He’s a thief. He’s not even like a hero, he’s kind of walking the line of grey. He loves women and drinking and smoking… he’s just a cool guy that happens to have a good moral center.”

This isn’t confirmation of his part or even if the film will be standalone or Tatum will star in a larger X-Men movie! Regardless, how would you feel about Tatum tackling Gambit? Is it just hunk in tights or do you think he could bring something more to the character?

  1. No thanks. Taylor Kitsch was decent in the Wolverine movie. with a better script I think he’d be twice the Gambit Tatum could be.

    I don’t know who other options would be out there – Timothy Olyphant maybe, or Jared Leto spring to mind – but a charmless muscle guy like Tatum feels wrong to me.
