After debuting in the blockbuster film Deadpool & Wolverine, fans are eager to see more of Channing Tatum’s portrayal of the mutant Gambit. Tatum has long pursued bringing Gambit to life on screen. His charismatic performance quickly became a standout in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds recently showed public support for Gambit to continue in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films. In an Instagram story, Reynolds joked about assisting Tatum by doing various on-set jobs. Reynolds emphasized his enthusiasm for collaborating with Tatum again.
Fans and insiders have pointed to the 2016 comic series Deadpool v. Gambit as ideal source material for a potential solo Gambit movie. In the five-issue storyline, Deadpool and Gambit team up for a series of cons before Gambit joins the X-Men. Their complex friendship and “buddy cop” dynamic translate well to film.
Adapting Deadpool v. Gambit could expand Marvel’s interconnected universe. The comic features cameo appearances by characters like Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Iron Fist. Introducing these characters could create new storylines and interactions. One plot sees Deadpool gain Iron Fist’s power, known as “Deadfist,” offering a unique twist.
Given the positive reception to Tatum’s Gambit and Reynolds’ endorsement, a solo Gambit movie seems feasible. While nothing has been officially announced, fans remain excited about the character’s future. As Marvel continues growing its cinematic universe, adding complex characters like Gambit could further enrich the franchise for years to come.
