Gambit officially happening!

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Well we've seen him really angry and borderline out of control in Tomstone and Breakdown, and it's just not to the Wolverine level at all. It's true he never tried to play Wolvie, but we're basing this idea off of what we've seen, right? I.e., we think he could be good because he was good at the "don't give a ****" attitude in Escape from New York. Clint Eastwood though seemed to have a real underlying rage, particularly in the Harry films that I think would have been pretty effective if channeled as Wolverine.

Yeah, I get you - but who knows what he could've done given the right motivation.

Again - Jackman was no tough guy before X1.

Twentieth Century Fox has set up Channing Tatum’s X-Men spinoff “Gambit” for Oct. 7, 2016.

The Gambit character, who debuted in 1990, is an expert card-thrower and has the power to manipulate kinetic energy.

“Gambit,” written by Joshua Zetumern, will be Fox’s eighth X-Men movie. It opens less than five months after “X-Men: Apocalypse” debuts on May 27, 2016.

Fox also announced Monday that it had set or shifted dates for six other films — mostly notably, moving its next “Planet of the Apes” movie back a year to July 14, 2017.

The studio had originally planned to open its ninth “Planet of the Apes” on July 29, 2016. Instead, Fox has taken the “Fantastic Four” sequel off July 14, 2017, and moved it forward six weeks to June 2, 2017.

Fox successfully rebooted the Apes franchise in 2011 with “Rise of the Planet of Apes,” which grossed $482 million worldwide. This year’s “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” was even more successful with over $700 million.

Fox’s reboot of “Fantastic Four,” directed by Josh Trank and starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell, will open on Aug. 7.

Joshua Zetumer wrote the screenplay. It will face off against Warner Bros.’ “Live By Night” and Universal’s “Monster High.”

“Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates,” a comedy to be directed by Jake Szymanski, will hit theaters on July 29, 2016. A cast has yet to be announced for the film, which was written by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien and centers on two brothers who post an online ad for wedding dates. The film currently has the date to itself.

The studio dated two films for next year’s holiday season — vidgame adaptation “Assassin’s Creed,” starring Michael Fassbender with Justin Kurzel directing, has been dated for Dec. 21, 2016; and P.T. Barnum biopic “The Greatest Showman on Earth,” starring Hugh Jackman, will open Dec. 25, 2016.

Romance movie “The Mountain Between Us,” starring Charlie Hunnam and Rosamund Pike, has been set for Feb. 10, 2017 — four days before Valentines Day.

yeah definitely going to pass on this. Never really cared that much about Gambit. Tatum has been funny in his comedies but he is really limited in what he can bring to these types of roles (see GIJoe).

Channing Tatum’s X-Men Spinoff to Hit Theaters in 2016

I think he was great in Foxcatcher. He's got a pretty decent acting range.

Deadpool is releasing February I believe.

I think he was great in Foxcatcher. He's got a pretty decent acting range.

Yea he was terrific, definitely his best performance yet, and it's a plus that he keeps on emphasizing on getting Gambit's accent right. I’m more worried about Gambit having his own film, he usually only works as part of an ensemble.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Saw this on the IMDB trivia. Not sure if true but still cool.

Channing Tatum auditioned for the role in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

He has said he's wanted to play the character for a while.
