‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was a fun ride. There were plenty of cameos, supporting roles, and familiar faces. One scene that stood out in the movie was when Wade and Logan were brought back to the resistance group’s lair, where they were met by Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Dafne Keen’s Laura, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and Channing Tatum’s Gambit.

We were familiar with Elektra, Blade, and Laura before, but we haven’t seen Tatum’s portrayal of Gambit yet. But, the moment he appeared (and started talking), we were in awe. So was Marvel, at least according to Ryan Reynolds:

I honestly don’t know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they’re obsessed with him in that role

It’s kind of like the same situation I went through. Once you show that it works well, that’s really what they need. Sometimes they just need to see it in action.

Reynolds is talking about the test footage of his Deadpool that leaked in 2014, which showed the studio there was enough interest to make a movie. Earlier this year, he said he “might have helped” with that leak. Similarly, he hopes ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ can convince Marvel to bring Tatum back as Gambit:

“And Channing is so singular in how he plays that character, but also he’s so beautiful physically, the way he moves and the way he can pick up steps.”
