Marvel Studios officially announced the long-awaited Gambit film, starring Channing Tatum, set to hit theaters in 2025. This solo film marks the first major spotlight for the fan-favorite X-Men character since his brief but memorable appearances in the Deadpool 3 and Wolverine films.
Channing Tatum’s journey to bring Gambit to life has been a long and winding road. Originally slated to appear in his own solo movie years ago, the project faced numerous delays and setbacks. However, Tatum’s passion for the character never wavered, and his patience has finally paid off.
Gambit, also known as Remy LeBeau, first captured the audience’s attention with a surprise appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, where his charismatic and roguish nature stole the show. His powers, which allow him to charge objects with kinetic energy, turning them into explosive projectiles, were a highlight of the film. The upcoming film will delve into Gambit’s complex backstory, exploring his origins in the seedy underbelly of New Orleans, his involvement with the Thieves Guild, and his eventual path to becoming one of the X-Men. Fans can expect a blend of heist action, mutant drama, and the signature wit that Tatum brings to the role.
