The “21 Jump Street” actor was supposed to play the X-Men mutant Gambit in the character’s own solo movie. However, the film never came to fruition.
in 2019, “Gambit” was a victim of the corporate war. “Disney had just gotten the ‘X-Men’ from Fox,” Carolin said. “I think they needed to redesign the ‘X-Men’ from the ground up.”“Once ‘Gambit’ went away, I was so traumatized,” the “Dog” director lamented. He was so upset that he didn’t want to watch any Marvel films, especially 2012’s “The Avengers.”
“I shut off my Marvel machine. I haven’t been able to see any of the movies. I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him,” he sighed.in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” in which he was portrayed by Taylor Kitsch. The character was skilled at playing cards and had the power to manipulate kinetic energy.Tatum apparently was especially attracted to the character’s “cool” factor, zeroing in on his personality and fashion sense.
“They would call him ‘flamboyant’ in his description,” he 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 belt. Gambit’s like, ‘No, this s–t’s just fly, bro! This s–t walked down the Paris runway last year.’ He’s just wearing the stuff that’s so dope because he loves fashion.
“I would love to play Gambit,” the father of one revealed, adding that he and Carolin may have overstepped their bounds a bit the first time around. “I don’t think we should direct it. I think that was hubris on our part.”“I wish they would reconsider because it’s a pretty great project,” he offered. “Maybe someday.”
