In a winking reference to his aborted X-Men film project, Channing Tatum wore an old Gambit T-shirt to San Diego Comic-Con
Comic-Con is about representing your favorite fandom, and few Hollywood fandoms are as strong as Channing Tatum’s love for Gambit.
Tatum pushed to make a movie about the Cajun X-Man with the power to charge objects with kinetic energy for over a decade. That movie famously stalled out, even as other X-Men movies charged ahead. In 2019, Tatum offered to direct the movie himself if it would move the project forward. However, a stand-alone movie about the superpowered Louisiana pickpocket wasn’t in the cards.
Tatum finally got to portray the mutant Remy LeBeau in the multiversal romp Deadpool & Wolverine, which was screened just before his surprise appearance in Hall H on Thursday. While promoting the movie alongside Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds at San Diego Comic-Con, Tatum made a winking reference to his long-forgotten film in his choice of t-shirt.Gambit has been a fan favorite amongst the X-Men faithful since he was created by Chris Claremont in 1990.
