Channing Tatum has expressed a long-standing desire to portray the Marvel hero Gambit, dating back to 2005. His dream seemed to come to fruition with a surprise cameo in the film 'Deadpool & Wolverine.' Now, Tatum is hopeful that he will finally get the opportunity to headline a solo 'Gambit' movie.
In an interesting turn of events, an early draft of the 2006 film 'X-Men: The Last Stand' originally included the character of Gambit, with Tatum slated to play the Cajun mutant known for his ability to manipulate kinetic energy. However, the character was ultimately omitted from the final script, and Tatum only confirmed his brief involvement with the sequel in 2014.
