Deadpool & Wolverine was released in theaters at the end of July, and the movie has already surpassed Joker to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Not only has the movie made over $1.1 billion at the box office, but it’s also a hit with critics and audiences alike. At the time of the writing, the movie is up on Rotten Tomatoes with a 78% critics score and 95% audience score, which is now “Verified Hot” under the site’s new popcorn meter for audience reviews. The new movie features many exciting cameos, including Channing Tatum as Gambit. It’s no secret that Tatum was previously set to play Remy LeBeau, but the project fell apart when Disney bought Fox. Today, Marvel Studios shared a new promo for Deadpool & Wolverine that pays tribute to the lovable Cajun.

Will Channing Tatum Play Gambit Again?
Long before his debut as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum opened up about his disappointment in how things originally unfolded when his solo project was canceled. Now, folks are wondering if his appearance in the Deadpool threequel could mean a return to the character. Recently, Tatum said that he hopes the success of Deadpool & Wolverine could lead to a green light for a new Gambit project.
“Of course I’ve said it. I’ve been saying I want it for the last 10 years,” Tatum said. “It’s in Bob Iger and Kevin Feige’s hands. I pray to God.”
As for what happened to Gambit after the events of the film, Tatum has some ideas.
“I think at that moment, if I had to guess, he’s definitely still in the Void,” Tatum told Collider. “But there’s something that’s happening in that moment that maybe no one knows yet.”
