X-Men producer honcho Lauren Shuler Donner today confirmed in a red carpet interview that Channing Tatum will play Gambit in some future movie, a role the actor has publicly coveted, but gave no details beyond that, saying just that Tatum was right for the role because he’s a rogue, but also a sweetheart. Donner gave no information if this will be in stand alone movie or in the next X-Men movie.
“It is Channing” Donner told TotalFilm on the X-Men: Days of Future Past red carpet in London. “He’s a rogue, Channing, he’s a rascal, like Remy LaBeau, and he can handle the action, we all know that.”
Donner added that the fact he’s a southerner and knows that world makes him the perfect person to play the part.
