    X-Men movie producer says she has Channing Tatum in the bag to play the X-Men character Gambit in a solo movie.


    Channing Tatum On Board to Play X-Men’s Gambit in Solo Movie

    This is pretty much X-Men movie news week, starting with big reveals for*X-Men: Days of Future Past*(which are explained in the video down below), but also looking well beyond Fox’s pivotal (and risky) entry into the shared movie universe model, which is earning billions in box office revenue for Marvel Studios.

    If you haven’t caught up, check out*our full*X-Men*movie coverage, but even if you’re new to this geek party, this news will probably raise your eyebrow: X-Men movie producer Lauren Shuler is teasing that she has none other than Channing Tatum in the bag to play Gambit, in a solo movie presumably set within the expanded X-Men universe.

    Empire*has been rolling out the X-Men movie headlines all week, so it makes sense that the magazine has this explosive quote from Shuler:

    “I’m dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum. That doesn’t have to be a great big movie. It’s a thief in New Orleans, it’s a whole different story. He’s on board, and I*have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing?*He’s such a sweetheart.”

    Tatum has previously gone on record to sayhe’d love to play Gambit, and since he is probably THE hot leading man of the moment, it makes sense that Shuler would listen.

    Well one good thing is that Channing as Gambit would reduce my expectations for this movie to about as low as they can go. I don't mind him as an action star, but I just don't see him being able to deliver the nuance or personality that Gambit has as a character.
