In the bonus commentary for Deadpool & Wolverine, Shawn Levy revealed he met with Channing Tatum to direct a Gambit movie.
, Levy explained how he was one of the many directors approached to helm Gambit. The movie eventually fell apart, so Levy was happy Tatum finally played the X-Men character in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Tatum was originally eyed to play Gambit in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, Taylor Kitsch played the card-throwing mutant because of Tatum’s scheduling conflicts.In 2014, Tatum officially signed on to star in a Gambit movie. Unfortunately for Tatum, the film entered development hell and cycled through multiple directors including Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman, and Gore Verbinski. The final straw was Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, with Gambit’s official cancellation in May 2019.
