How Channing Tatum's Gambit Made A Name For Himself

It's amazing what actually being passionate for a subject or character can do to make a difference in how it turns out.

[@welkijken]

passion drives creation. Hence why all the corpo mandated franchise creations always seem to lack that extra punch. You need that extremely passionate person at the helm.

[@schiz0phren1c]

As with the Music business, the Movie business needs more passionate people who love what they do, rather than soulless drones out to make the next million or billion.

[@xhantimtiya7325]

Well, I'd say the only exception to that is Black Adam

[@zire4064]

The rock had no passion for the character at all​@@xhantimtiya7325

[@RedTail1-1]

​@@xhantimtiya7325not really... Rock was not passionate about Black Adam. He did not care about the character or story. He just wanted to be a superhero and be part of a comic book cinematic universe. He would have played any character if they were more powerful than everyone else and got him in the DCEU or MCU. Black Adam was just the chosen character based on what was going on in the DCEU. I honestly doubt he even read a single comic. If he had cared at all the film would have been very different. It wouldn't have just been another poorly written/acted Rock-stroking-his-ego movie.

[@vampricramen]

Tatum's Gambit works for the same reason every other live-action adaptation of a superhero has worked: the studio, director, and actor actually lean into the character and aren't ashamed to be making a superhero film. Taking superheroes seriously doesn't necessarily mean shaving away everything that seems unrealistic or campy. Even a film as gritty and grounded and no-nonsense as "The Batman" still has to feature three of its main characters running around their city dressed as their favorite animals.

Gambit's coming out party in Deadpool and Wolverine was so great because he was great. Tatum finally got to show us all what he's been trying to do for years, and the movie lets him shine. He's funny, but aside from light ribbing, he's not the butt of the joke. He's a legit badass and holds his own in the fight. I don't know how younger audience members perceived him, but knowing how long Channing Tatum has been trying to do something with this character, it was really great to see how they realized it.

[@kyledabearsfan]

As an old school Gambit fan, I was really worried when I heard about him in another movie but Tatum did a good job and seemed to have a blast.

I can say as a younger fan that i never really heard of the character or actor before this, but me and my younger sister both fell in love with Gambit during Deadpool&Wolverine, and have been watching the animated xmen series with him in it.

[@kingjellybean9795]

Coming out parties are for gays... not super heros

[@Arcella1981]

yeah Channing IMO is a better gambit than the one that was in the wolverine movie, he seemed like kind of a joke, like how Logan just elbows him in the face to make him be quite, and then that silly helicopter staff thing, IMO that move should have been cut and just make him jump off the roof and land and do that shockwave move, instead of helicopter, when I saw that I was like "oh ok so this is a silly adaptation" but Channing's was a LOT better

[@jerrysign5027]

I didn’t feel it. His headwear was just a bit too tight for Tatum’s big head.

In 5th grade, each student got a single 6X6 inch tile that we could paint ANYTHING we wanted and it would be baked in a kiln and then put up on one of the hallway walls forever to represent my class.

[@aceofaces0007]

What I also liked about Gambit's inclusion in Deadpool & Wolverine is the understanding that, in the multiverse, even the projects that never got off the ground have a chance to become something, which is a fact that the movie itself acknowledges in its tongue and cheek fashion, in addition to paying homage to dormant 20th Century Fox franchises. Just as Ryan Reynolds is a perfect fit for Deadpool, Channing Tatum really proved he was the perfect fit for Gambit (or at the very least, far more convincing than the other guy), all because they have passion for the roles they're playing and understand the characters through and through.

[@AVTechTips]

I thought taylor actually looked a lot more physically like gambit. I think if they would have just had him live in new orleans for a few weeks he probably would have nailed the accent...but as far as dismissing him, I think that's unfair as xmen origins wolverine barely did anything with his character to begin with and I don't think it's fair to judge someone for a bad movie when he was barely in it. He gets in 1 fight if you can even call it that and then he drops wolverine off wherever he was going, then Fs off for the rest of the movie. total screen time was 4 minutes 15 seconds in a 1 hour and 47 minute runtime. I haven't seen an official count for DP vs W but he has to get at least quadruple the amount of time taylor kitsch got with the role, in what was already a much better movie.

I had no idea that Channing Tatum had been fighting for Gambit for as long as he did. But as soon as he stepped into that doorway in D&W, you just knew he embodied the character and there was a backstory there. Just like how Ryan Reynolds fought for years to get Deadpool to be made.

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

Gambit's origins are rooted in the vibrant city of New Orleans, where he was born into a family of thieves and assassins known as the Thieves' Guild. From a young age, Remy LeBeau was trained in the art of thievery and deception, quickly rising to become one of the Guild's most skilled members. However, Remy's life took a dramatic turn when he fell in love with Bella Donna Boudreaux, a member of a rival guild. The two guilds had a long-standing feud, and Remy's relationship with Bella Donna was viewed as a betrayal by his own family.

Well I had to go see it...actually saw it at one of the 4 operating drive in movie theaters that are in my state so I got to cross THAT off my bucket list as well.

Don't worry, he'll come back. They always do.

Sorry I don't use mom's Disney plus

[@TheLoserface45]

I’m STILL waiting. Even more so now. I want that Gambit feature film!!!

[@charactersmoreorthree]

His cameo was more than enough for me. I'm pretty tired of subpar versions of my favorite characters.

[@equaniman647]

Given a chance at a standalone/ franchise/ show whichever one. I think Channing would do the role justice. He seems really passionate about playing the character. Like Ryan and Deadpool.

[@Louis_Varga]

My only complaint is that he was too thick. If he gets to play Gambit for his own movie, I hope he slims down a little.

[@greenteawitch2973]

Nah have u seem gambit in the comics? Dude is beefy asf

[@coderdbd]

I didn't want to be that guy, but yeah, I imagined Gambit to be slimmer, and Tatum has a chubby face, even the mask looked tight on him.

[@Louis_Varga]

Gambit has lean muscle, similar to Spider-Man. He is not thick and beefy.

[@jayluck8047]

Yes! Tatum has gone through something I like to call “The Thickening”. Not all men go through it, but his face will never be thin again without some Christian Bale for “The Mechanic” levels of weight loss.

[@bedboy9787]

@@greenteawitch2973I’m pretty sure Wolverine is twice as beefy as Gambit in the comics too yet Jackman is smaller than Tatum 😅

[@JericoGoods]

Channing Tatum looks like gambits "After" weight loss photo. His accent was a comedy skit by itself ...... Y'all been wanting a Gambit movie so long you will accept anything at this point.....there I said it, your welcome.

[@SkyGodHQ]

Then which actor do you suggest to take Gambit's role? Because Channing is the only actor who is passionate to play Gambit. 15 years is crazy for a well known actor to wait for an specific role.

[@ThinkTwice2222]

His uniform is awesome, but it doesn't make sense

[@archangelmichael1978]

Channing as Gambit would be ripe for a net series on Dis+ or Netflix with a solid Jubilee and Rogue female supporting actresses. I think it'd make a great show, I might even sub Dis+ for it, and if it's popular, spawn it's own spinoff movie.
