Channing Tatum Cast as Gambit

After many months of gossip and rumours of Channing Tatum (Magic Mike, Step Up) playing Gambit in an original X-Men Gambit movie, the rumours have finally been confirmed. CHANNING TATUM HAS BEEN CAST AS GAMBIT.

For those of you who don't know the character Gambit, he is a mutant and member of the X-Men who charges playing cards and a long metal staff with kinetic energy. Within the comic book universe he is the lover of Rogue (a fellow X-Men member). We're hoping this is explored in the film. However all we know for sure at this moment in time; is that Channing Tatum will be Gambit!
