Lauren Shuler Donner,the X-Men producer, tells Empire Magazine that she really wants to do a movie focused on Gambit, and she wants Channing Tatum to play him. I’m dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum. That doesn’t have to be a great big movie. It’s a thief in New Orleans, it’s a whole different story. He’s on board, and I have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing? He’s such a sweetheart. He’s on board, which means this may be closer to reality than we realized. In fact, Empire also uncovered this quote from Tatum himself last year during White House Down press rounds: I would like to play Gambit. Gambit’s my favorite. I’m from New Orleans, around that area. My dad’s from New Orleans, and I like to do a Cajun accent. I could do it for real… No knock on Taylor Kitsch, though, ’cause I actually like his Gambit, but I’ve always lived around Cajun people. Gambit was always like the woman-loving, cigarette-smoking, drinking guy. He was the punk rock of all the superheroes. He’s a thief. He kind of rode the line. s1360.photobucket.com/user/comiccollectorsguide1/media/X_Men_Origins_Gambit_by_davidyardin-230x350_zps43393b62.jpg.html
