Channing Tatum will be featured on the cover of this June's issue of GQ magazine, hitting newsstands May 27. Tatum was recently announced as the actor who will be playing Gambit in X-Men: Apocalypse, followed by a Gambit solo film. In the feature interview, he talks a bit about why he loves the character. "[Gambit was] the only superhero I really followed.… He was the most real to me: smoking, drinking, women-loving, thief. He just looked cool to me. I've always loved him. And obviously he's Cajun." Producer Lauren Shuler Donner has long been public about wanting Tatum for Gambit in the X-Men films, and the idea was finally made an official reality just before the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past. X-Men: Days of Future Past comes to theaters May 23. X-Men: Apocalypse, which will introduce Tatum's Gambit to the X-Men films, is scheduled for release on May 23, 2016.
