Overview
- Tatum told Variety the unmade Fox-era Gambit was conceived as an R-rated romantic comedy that included “mutants having sex.”
- He said Marvel and Disney would not make that version, arguing the studios avoid sex and that the MCU needs greater tonal variety.
- The standalone Gambit film developed at 21st Century Fox stalled after Disney acquired the studio in 2019.
- Following his brief turn in Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum is set to reprise Remy LeBeau in Avengers: Doomsday.
- He added that Marvel Studios has ideas for the character and suggested a future film could happen if fan demand is strong, though his explicit Fox vision is unlikely.
