The first attempt that 20th Century Fox made trying to bring the X-Men character Gambit into live-action movie turned out to be a major mistake. Gavin Hood's legendarily bad X-Men Origins: Wolverine featured the Ragin' Cajun played by Taylor Kitch, but the version of the character had two distinct problems: he couldn't be bothered to speak in his classic New Orleans accent, and he really had no purpose being in the story. The failure was so bad that we really haven't heard anything about the future of Gambit since... that is, until now.
In a parallel universe that wasn't wrecked by Spider-Man or Doctor Strange, Channing Tatum's Gambit would be a major figure in the "X-Men" films by now, with Tatum transforming Remy LeBeau into an A-list character in much the same way that Robert Downey Jr. did for Iron Man. Unfortunately, Disney's purchase of Fox all but destroyed the possibility of that happening. Instead, our only lasting image of the explosive card-throwing mutant on the big screen is Taylor Kitsch's muted performance in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Sacré bleu!

Chillopedia: Channing Tatum has come a long way, starting his career with modeling all the way making into the big screen through dancing. After his lead role in Step Up (2006), he got many amazing roles that made him the part of Hollywood’s A-listers. We are going to break down the 15 best Channing Tatum movies of all times.
Bleck! Just sayin' that i'm prejudice against Gambit. We've been there and done that... Well, same for Nightcrawler, but I want a new Nightcrawler that will BAMF! heads off. Hopefully, that'll happen in Age of Apocalypse @_@
He'd be a good choice.
At least they're not casting Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenstein to play him.
I have been waiting for gambit to get his time in the spotlight my whole life, im not a fan of channing tatum so this would be a disaster IMO
Channing Tatum isn't a bad actor, I don't get the hate...he would make a fine Gambit. Although my ideal Gambit would have to be Vincent Cassel, it helps that he is actually, French ya know. Aslo, that scene at the end of Oceans 11 where he breakdances through all the lasers was pure Gambit.
channing tatum is not a bad choice, having a gambit stand alone film is not a good choice either. i do not have personal knowledge of gambit's origins but i dont think there is enough there to make an exciting story. i dont think he even has personal villains like sabertooth is to wolverine. gambit should be showcased as a part of the x men in an x men film.
