Gambit's Surprise MCU Debut: Tatum Teases Fans Aren't Ready

In a recent interview, actor Channing Tatum, who played Gambit in last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, has teased that fans are "just not ready for what's about to happen" in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie Avengers: Doomsday. Tatum, who has been attached to a potential Gambit solo outing for over a decade, is excited to finally bring his favorite character to the big screen as part of the star-studded ensemble.

Tatum joked that the studio has "put a chip" in him to prevent him from revealing too much about the highly anticipated film. However, he did share that the movie will feature a long roster of franchise stars returning to save the world, including the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Anthony Mackie. Tatum expressed his disbelief at the opportunity to not only play Gambit but also be part of the Avengers team, saying it's "beyond his wildest dreams."
