Not talking about gag. FOX Xavier is rumored for Strange 2. He will be a variant for shure. Deadpool and maybe Cable with Domino probably all will be back as variants too in DP3.

Well, all of those make sense. They already exist as part of the Fox movies as main characters. I could understand that. However, Tatum never played the part. IF they do pop up in Doctor Strange 2, I can almost guarantee it'll be fast, more like cameos. Using the known characters allows for quick inserts without exposition or inorganic name drops and explanations. Inserting Tatum as a variant Gambit would require too much explaining, in my opinion. Taylor Kitsch might make more sense - but his Gambit was a secondary character in a less than well-received spin-off movie. I seriously doubt we'll be seeing either actor as a time-variant in Dr. Strange.


Personally, I hope any inclusion from Fox's X-Men is limited. I'd really want to see a fresh start for the franchise - not a continuation of the mess that Dark Phoenix left behind.

We haven't seen a single mutant yet - and you're looking forward to time-variants? 

Yep:) And a lot of them in Deadpool 3.

I would love Tatum as Gambit.


We had teen, old and female Loki this year. We can have different Gambits too.

Yeah, that's we call a fluff piece.


Tatum would be a great producer for the film at this point. Playing Gambit even a couple of years ago was a stretch due to his age and how I'd assume Fox would have used the franchise. The movie was already set in the past, so barring time travel - he was basically stuck in the 1980s with an actor rapidly approaching 40. That's even worse now. Gambit's not Wolverine or Cyclops - he shouldn't an elder member, at least not at the beginning.


I would think they'd shoot for a younger actor not unlike what they are currently doing across the MCU as they're replacing older actors and introducing new characters. Gambit starting out in his late 30s would change the character's function. We need to start him out younger than this - otherwise, he'll either be nothing like we know him or he'll have to heavily lean into the "cad" trope.
