?Channing Tatum will finally fulfill his wish to star in a movie Gambit“I hope so,” he said Thursday at the premiere of “Blink Twice” at the DGA in West Hollywood. Tatum’s newfound faith comes after his surprise cameo as the X-Men mutant in Deadpool & Wolverine within the Marvel universe.
Tatum and his producing partner, Reid Carolin, spent four years developing a standalone Gambit film for 20th Century Fox, but the film fell through when Disney acquired Fox in 2019.
Yes, he’s already told Marvel he still wants it to happen. “Of course I’ve said that. I’ve been saying I want it for 10 years,” Tatum said. “It’s in the hands of Bob Iger and Kevin Feige. I pray to God.”.
Channing Tatum thanked Ryan Reynolds for inviting him to the new Marvel movie
In late July, Tatum thanked Ryan Reynolds in an Instagram post for bringing his Gambit to life. “I thought I lost Gambit forever,” but Reynolds “fought for me and for Gambit.”
He also wrote: “I probably owe him forever because I’m not sure how I could ever do anything that would match what this has meant to me. I love you, man.”
The “Magic Mike” star praised “Deadpool & Wolverine” director Shawn Levy as “a brilliant creator on every level”.
“Everything happens for a reason,” Tatum wrote in the Instagram post. “I’m so grateful to be in this movie. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion. And pure joy. I was literally screaming in the theater. LFG!!!”
