Gambit - Tatum

We reported earlier today that Channing Tatum had been officially announced as playing the role of Gambit in the X-Men film franchise universe, but no information was available at the time as to when Tatum would debut in the role. The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that Tatum's Gambit will appear in X-Men: Apocalypse and that a solo spinoff film will follow. The report states that the Gambit film is still in development and does not have a director attached. Tatum is picking up the deck of cards and staff left behind by Taylor Kitsch, who played Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Gambit is just one of several X-Men character, including Deadpool, Mystique and X-Force, that producers of the X-Men franchise have said they'd like to see spinoff from the main film series. X-Men: Apocalypse is slated to be released on May 27, 2016.
