Overview

• Tatum told Variety the unproduced Fox-era script featured "mutants having sex" and was conceived as a full-on R-rated romantic comedy.
• He said such material is something Marvel and Disney would not make, adding that the franchise could use greater tonal diversity.
• The standalone Gambit project had been developed at 20th Century Fox with a 2018 target and attachments like Lizzy Caplan and Léa Seydoux before being dropped after Disney’s acquisition.
• Following his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum said he remains hopeful the character could still get a future if fans push for it.
• Some coverage suggests his next turn as Gambit could be in Avengers: Doomsday, though that prospective appearance has not been confirmed by Marvel.
