Channing Tatum Says He Would Kill Kittens To Make A Gambit Movie, Gives Hopeful Update
Actor Channing Tatum has joked that he would do all manner of unspeakable things, including killing kittens, to be able to make a standalone Gambit movie. Tatum was going to play Gambit in such a film, but it was scuttled after Disney acquired the character’s theatrical rights from Fox, Tatum explained in a recent interview. But the film could now be back on, or at least Tatum believes it’s headed in the right direction. This story contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Tatum said he worked on the Gambit movie for six years, and when it was on the “one-yard line,” Disney took over and everything changed.
“We were about to make the movie, and then Fox got bought by Disney,” Tatum said.
