YES YES YES YES YES!!!
I will admit that Gambit was actually one of my favorite characters from the comics, so this news make me VERY happy!
Producer Lauren Shuler Donner has confirmed that Magic Mike star Channing Tatum will play the character Gambit in the next installment of the X-Men movies.
She said:
“He’s a rogue, Channing, he’s a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau,” Lauren told Total Film on the red carpet about Channing as Gambit at the X-Men: Days of Future past London premiere.
“He can handle the action, as we know, and he’s got a real good heart, I know him personally.”
“He’ll be great for Gambit, and he’s a southerner too, he understands that world, and you know Gambit loves New Orleans,”
This is AMAZING!!
“X-Men: Days of Future Past” is set to open May 23, with the following film “X-Men: Apocalypse” expected in May of 2016.
What do you guys think of this? Will Channing make a good Gambit??
