Channing Tatum has spoken about his scrapped Gambit movie – and how its cancelation has made him unable to watch ꦡany other Marvel movies.
In the Marvel comics, Gambit is one of the X-Men – a mutant with the ability to mentally create, control, and manipulate kinetic energy to his desire. The character has only appeared in one live-action movie, 2009's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in which he was played by Taylor Kitsch (Tatum 🔯wasn't available at the time).
Tatum signed on to play the role in a standalone movie back in 2014. Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman, and Gore Verbinski were all attached to direct at various points, with a release date eventually set for March 2020. However, after Disney acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019, development𝄹 was put on hold and the movie was finally✃ shelved.
“Once Gambit went away, I was so traumatized, I shut off my Marvel machin🍨e," the actor told . "I haven’t been able to see anyꦫ of the movies. I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him."
Variety described the project as "a raunchy stand-alone superhero movie about the X-Men" with a similar tone to Deadpool.
Meanwhile, Tatum's upcoming projects include The Lost City, co-starring Sandra Bullock and 💎Daniel Radcliffe, and a re-team with S𝓀teven Soderbergh for Magic Mike 3.
However, he can next be seen in Dog, which he also co-directed – it arrives on the big screen on February 18. In the meantime, check out our list of the other major 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates to look forward to in 2022.
