News of his involvement withthe popular X - Men character began in 2014 , and eventuallyit seemed all but certainthe 21 Jump Street maven would bring the Cajun to the full-grown screen — until Disney buy Fox and the movie was invalidate . In a young consultation , Tatum and producing cooperator Reid Carolin open up about the whole scenario .

“ We were right on the one - 1000 line , ” Carolintold Variety aboutGambit . “ We had roam the moving-picture show . We ’d opened up a production office staff . We were on our style to blast in New Orleans . ” But the route to that moment was n’t exactly legato . Tatum and Carolin wrote a hand they bed so much , they wanted to direct it . But according to the pair , Fox did n’t require them to direct it , which is where names likeRupert Wyatt , Doug Liman , andGore Verbinski came in . Looking back at it now , Tatum makes it seem like Fox did n’t quite get what made the character so extra .

“ They would call him ‘ flamboyant ’ in his description , ” Tatum said . “ I wouldn’t — he was just the coolest person . He could pull anything off . Most superheroes , their outfits are utilitarian . Batman ’s got his knock . Gambit ’s like , ‘ No , this bull ’s just fly , bro !

come off Fox ’s success with Deadpool , Gambit was planned as a more mature , universal gas constant - stag take on the character and his world . “ We wanted to make a quixotic comedy superhero film , ” Carolin say . “ The thesis was the only thing severely than carry through the man is piss a relationship work . ”

The photographic film got postpone and the personnel casualty hit Tatum hard . “ Once Gambit went away , I was so traumatized , ” Tatum say . “ I shut off my Marvel auto . I have n’t been capable to see any of the picture show . I loved that reference . It was just too distressing . It was like losing a booster because I was so quick to play him . ”

Tatum order he ’d still be open to represent the character and would love to make the motion picture he and Carolin write , though he now understands they should n’t manoeuver it . Now they , like us , will just model and wait until we recover out what Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have planned for the X - military personnel .
