i agree, i dont think Tatum is right for Gambit, he is too bulky and looks terrible with long hair, but im sure he will do ok, just like im sure this actor will kickass as Poccy
Never said he wouldnt play the role he's given in the movie well... But playing Apocalypse? En Saba Nur? Played by a 5'9" 170-something pound soaking wet, guy? He'll get away with it and probably excel at it because no one's ever played the role before. Kind of like Jackman and Wolverine. Though admittedly he did it better physically and acting wise in the X2 (you should see the pictures of him in X1 and then in X2 and on. Night and steroids... I mean "day".). Tatum has an up hill battle and also an advantages, probably more up than down. And Xerxes looked ridiculous... There's a reason you only saw him standing on several occasions. That stuff can get expensive, and I'd rather they spent the budget elsewhere... what am I saying? They are probably going to throw 200m at this thing.
Upside
He's box office name with a strong female following... kinda like Gambit in some ways
He wants the part and is producing, so as long as he has some common sense, good taste, a script worth its paper and decent budget, the movie should be good.
He's somewhat of an action star as well as a heart throbe/ beefcake, so stunt work wont be too impossible.
He's playing the part after Taylor. The role wasnt really fleshed or utilized properly, so its in his favor
Downside
He doesnt really look the part
He's playing the part after Taylor. While the role wasnt really fleshed or utilized properly, Taylor did certainly look the part.
