Guess what, X-Men fans? It seems like Gambit, the mutant hero who has always been shortchanged on the big screen, may finally make his big-screen debut as played by Channing Tatum.
According to the ever-reliable insider @MyTimeToShine, it seems that Channing Tatum will finally get the chance to suit up as the Ragin' Cajun in the highly anticipated Deadpool sequel. However, his role in the film is limited to a cameo scene and he's already finished filming it.
If you're a die-hard X-Men fan, then you probably remember the buzz surrounding Channing Tatum and the Gambit role in the past. Believe it or not, this isn't the first time Tatum's name has been associated with the card-throwing mutant.
Back in 2009, he was actually in the running to play Gambit made his debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Tatum had to pass on the opportunity, and Taylor Kitsch ultimately took on the role. Unfortunately, Kitsch's portrayal didn't quite hit the mark with audiences.
