Channing Tatum's rendition of Gambit in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film will feature a revised vocal performance. While previously heard in Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum has indicated a shift away from the full Cajun accent for this new Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance. He expressed a desire to balance humor with dramatic intensity, noting that the directors aim for a more grounded portrayal when the character's serious side emerges.
A recent promotional campaign for Dunkin' Donuts, featuring Gambit alongside H.E.R.B.I.E., offered the first listen to Tatum's updated voice. This collaboration also includes themed restaurant takeovers and a special menu, further building excitement for Avengers: Doomsday, which is set for a December 18 release. Tatum, who fulfilled a lifelong dream playing Gambit, credits Ryan Reynolds for the opportunity.
The film boasts a massive ensemble cast, including returning X-Men actors like James Marsden and Rebecca Romijn. The Dunkin' takeover extends across four cities, with specific locations transforming into immersive Marvel-themed destinations. This partnership aims to deepen fan engagement by bringing the Marvel universe into everyday experiences.
