Are you okay with Tatum as GAMBIT?
20th Century FOX is looking to find a successor once Hugh Jackman hangs up the claws for good as Wolverwine. After months of failed negotiations, Channing Tatum has finally agreed to join the X-Men film universe as the Gambit. While there was never a legit threat to securing the role, the Magic Mike series star made a surprise appearance during the X-Men: Apocalypse panel – furthering speculation of a completed deal.
Tatum’s commitment to withstand multiple years to come as a franchise player, was something holding back the initial contract signing; but now he’s set to finally take on the fiery eyed mutant of Kinect energy.
