I think that Tatum was excited at first but after delays he lost his interest and started to look his other projects.

Don't agree. I think Tatum is the main reason movie is still somehow in development and not completely dead

I agree that he focused on his other projects.. but I don't believe he's lost interest. He can only do so much to get the green light. Still gotta pay the bills, too.

Well, Gambit WAS the best thing in that movie.  Problem is, it was an awful movie from start to finish so it's not a very high bar to clear  :P

I think Kitsch had the right look for Gambit and honestly I think as an actor he had the ability to pull it off. But the problem was that he really didn't know Gambit, he said in interviews he'd never heard of the character before the audition.  Now fair play to him he went out and tried to do his research but maybe he just didn't read enough issues (he only ever mentioned the issue where he talks to Storm on the roof then beats up Sabertooth), because his Gambit could've been any cocky teenager in a casino if you took away the cards and the staff.  But I think it's unfair to lay it all on Kitsch since that script and direction was pretty bad for the character.  He won the plane in a game?  Why not have him steal it? 

Anyway, I would've been curious to see Kitsch try again with a much better script and a better director.  Maybe a director who loves the character.  Everybody rips on John Carter but I liked it and thought Kitsch didn't do too badly.  Everything that came after that...pretty bad, yeah I can see what he's not in a lot of stuff these days. 

But as it is, Tatum love Gambit and seems to know Gambit pretty well so I'm happy for him to have a go.  If only we can get to it happening!!


He may not have read much, but at least he read 90s era Gambit. And let's be serious, he didn't go out and find that issue himself, he was given that book and probably more, but only read that. It says even Fox producers know what era of Gambit is the most suitable.

He is younger looking than Tatum .... I'd be alright with this guy in the role. :)

This guy wants the Gambit role.

It is funny that in comments on youtube people are excited to see Bateman as Gambit and don't like idea of Tatum as Gambit. I don't think that Bateman has more Gambit look then Tatum but he is cool with Bo.

Love the outfit too... big fan of the button up vest. Kind of like what he wore in XMO Wolverine.. except this one's better.

I find youtube comments to be very negative in general and it doesn't matter what the subject matter is ... its like the old CBR. LOL

That aside - its still on Tatum so far if we're ever going to see a film. :)

It was there we asked if the actor was still playing Gambit, and here’s what the actor had to say: “Yeah, of course. We're working on it right now."

The way he says it makes it seem like there's never a doubt that he'll be playing the character. Which is good news.

A lot of new interviews with Tatum on Gambit. He is positive :)


Channing Tatum hopes to bring the Gambit panel in next year Comic Con in a interview with cinema blend and talks more about Gambit

Channing also mentions that there were certains thing which they weren't allowed to do until Deadpool and Logan came out. Channing adds that he isn’t ready to commit to making Gambit an R-rated film: “We’re not quite going there, because I enjoyed Gambit as a kid so I don’t want to rule out PG-13 but there are some things which might be a little Rated R.”

Channing Tatum in an interview with MTV talks regarding the delay and how Logan and Deadpool have inspired him. Channing mentions that it was the luckiest thing in the world that we had some bumps in the road and I think the bumps in the road came at the time that there was a paradigm shift in these movies," Tatum told MTV News' Josh Horowitz at a press event for Kingsman: The Golden Circle Thursday (July 20). "We got to witness and learn from two really beautiful change in guard from movies, Logan and Deadpool. It did break some ground for us and now we have to figure out what our version of that is and not just try to go and do whatever that is."

WEll, I guess that's something at least. Especially since there was barely any x-movie news...

Loved everything Tatum said. He said pretty much everything I was thinking was going on. Great to hear Tatum finally asked about it in an interview. Tatum's not going anywhere people, he wants this role and this movie BADLY. If they need to take their time to get it right, then I am more than fine with that.  :gambit:
