Many fans consider Deadpool & Wolverine, now in theaters and starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, to be the most anticipated film of the year. After years of eager anticipation, audiences are finally getting to see these two iconic characters share the big screen.
With the film’s multiversal theme, it was expected to be packed with Easter eggs and cameos—and it’s been delivering brilliantly at the global box office. While we’ve already uncovered and discussed most of these cameos, there are always more details to explore.
This report focuses on Gambit, the popular X-Men character who makes a brief cameo in the film, played by Channing Tatum. For those hoping to see Tatum reprise the role, he has shared some exciting news, though it may not guarantee anything for the future.
As you may recall, Channing Tatum was initially set to star in a standalone Gambit film. However, the project was eventually shelved, leaving Tatum and his fans disappointed, as many had eagerly anticipated seeing him in the lead role. Now, those who have watched Deadpool & Wolverine know that Tatum made a brief cameo as Gambit, donning a comic-accurate costume that thrilled fans.
In the film, his character hails from an alternate universe, and while he doesn’t escape the Void by the movie’s end, Deadpool’s plea to the TVA suggests that Gambit—and possibly other characters—might return in the future.
Many fans feared that Gambit might have perished during the final, brutal battle against Nova’s henchmen. However, a moment in the post-credits scene hints otherwise, and Tatum himself has subtly confirmed this, though not in the most direct way.
“I think at that moment, if I had to guess, he’s definitely still in the Void. But there’s something that’s happening in that moment that maybe no one knows yet.”

As mentioned, the future is uncertain, but Channing Tatum is eager to return as Gambit and appears to have made some progress in that direction:
“I would do pretty much any version of Gambit, to be honest. I think we will, hopefully. At least I’m talking to Kevin, and I just want to be in any MCU stuff. To get to dress up again as him would be enough. “

As you can see, there’s still hope for a solo Gambit movie with Channing Tatum in the lead, and we’re optimistic that the folks at Disney and Marvel will take note of both Tatum’s enthusiasm and the fans’ desires!
