SeeingChanning Tatumget to live out his very , verylong dream of playing ol’ Remy LeBeau was honestly kind of endearing ( and uproarious , given that speech pattern ) , to say nothing of how well he hold himself during the action .

give Marvel’srecent movestoward its multiverse endgame — and y’know , theentireexistenceofDeadpool & Wolverine — it ’s likely we ’ll see Tatum shuffle it up as Gambit again during the forthcoming doomsday crisis . But a full - on movie may be a footling tricksy … unless Marvel Studios decides to twirl some of the X - man out into their own solo stories . I guess if Ant - Man can get a movie , so too can Gambit . Just , perchance give him the eyes next time ? And a better cowling ?
