Hugh Jackman's Deadpool & Wolverine finally brought the mutant force into the fold of the MCU, promising fans a bright future ahead for mutantkind.

While many would love to see him spearhead his own Gambit movie, it's highly likely that he won't be the MCU's Gambit after all.
It's no secret that Channing Tatum has been dying to play Gambit since the early 2000s. originally slated to appear in X-Men: The Last Stand, the actor was written out of the script. And when it came to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts, leading to the much-hated portrayal of Taylor Kitsch.
