As a long-time gamer and Marvel fan with over two decades of experience, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia when I watched Channing Tatum‘s heartfelt Instagram post about his role as Gambit in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The images he shared were a testament to the journey that spanned nearly a decade, from the initial announcement of a Gambit solo movie at San Diego Comic-Con in 2015 to the highly anticipated premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine” in 2023.


The team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine has been a massive hit at the box office, shocking fans worldwide with its unconventional take on the Marvel universe. This blockbuster movie featured some unexpected cameos from past and possibly future Marvel characters. One such actor is sharing his thoughts on this experience.

In her post, Tatum shares that the difference between the photos is nearly a decade. She recalls being in the audience when Ryan Reynolds first unveiled Deadpool 1, and her instant reaction was one of awe and excitement. At the time, they barely knew each other, but since then, Tatum reveals that Ryan has been an invaluable support system in her industry. She shares that she thought Gambit was lost forever, but Ryan fought for both him and the character. Tatum expresses her deep gratitude towards Ryan and Shawn Levy, recognizing their brilliance in every aspect of their work. She is grateful to be a part of this project, which she considers a masterpiece and an unforgettable experience. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she cheered loudly in the theater. #deadpoolandwolverine

Why Didn’t Channing Tatum’s Gambit Movie Happen?

Since 2014, Fox has been working on Tatum’s “Gambit” film in one form or another, experiencing various script revisions and director swaps. However, despite these efforts, the movie never saw the light of day. With Disney’s acquisition of Fox and its Marvel characters, there were assumptions that the “Gambit” project had been abandoned entirely.

In a 2023 conversation with Variety Fair, Tatum expressed, “Disney absorbed Fox and Marvel, which led to our film project no longer aligning with their vision. We’ve made occasional inquiries, but it seems we need to relinquish control mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.”
