Channing Tatum won't stop until he gets to play Gambit on the big screen.
Channing Tatum's Gambit is perfect
Channing Tatum has always been vocal about his dream of portraying Gambit in a live-action film. He was so close to getting it into production, but the plans fell apart after the studio didn't approve of making a Gambit movie.
Gambit was brought to the big screen by Taylor Kitsch in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but his performance, including the film, was not well received by fans and critics. Soon after, the Marvel character no longer appeared in the later episodes.
At a press event, Channing Tatum expressed via SlashFilm his passion for portraying his dream Marvel hero.
