Expect to see a lot more teenage girls in the movie theater when the next X-Men movie is released. Channing Tatum has been confirmed to play Gambit in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Channing has been long rumored to be the choice as Gambit, now the news has been confirmed. At the X-Men: Days of our Future Past red carpet, producer Lauren Shuler Donner stated:
“It is Channing. He’s a rogue, Channing, he’s a rascal, like Remy LaBeau, and he can handle the action, we all know that.”
The casting seems an ideal fit…albeit I wonder how good Channing’s cajun accent is.
