Channing Tatum Says Gambit’s Accent Will Be Softer in Avengers: Doomsday as Injury Limits Stunts

Tatum says the Russos want a tighter, more dramatic tone that steers away from full Deadpool-style comedy.

Overview

  • Avengers: Doomsday is in production for a December 18, 2026 release with Anthony and Joe Russo directing.
  • Tatum told Variety he is “not gonna go full Cajun,” noting studio and director guidance to make Gambit easier to understand.
  • He confirmed a leg injury on set that requires intensive physical therapy and led him to rely on a stunt double for heavy action.
  • Tatum referenced filming action involving Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom but avoided specifics, with his double handling the major combat.
  • Marvel has not disclosed how large Gambit’s role will be in the ensemble or how he fits into the story.
