After years of hoping to play the character, and a surprise appearance in last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine, Channing Tatum’s take on Remy Labeau / Gambit has finally made a name for himself. But apparently, he will be undergoing a change the next time we see him on the big screen.
In a recent interview with Variety, Tatum teased his upcoming appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, after he was one of dozens of MCU veterans to get cast chairs during Marvel Studios’ surprise livestream earlier this year. According to Tatum, his return as Gambit will be accompanied by a toned-down version of the character’s thick Cajun accent, which became a running joke in Deadpool & Wolverine. The change was apparently made after studio executives “really had to wrap their mind around the accent and how people are going to understand him.”
