If you're anything like me, you were probably confused when Fox announced that they were planning on bringing the cajun explosive himself, Gambit, to his own solo film. You were probably even more confused when you heard that the lead role went to none other than Channing Tatum. Not that I have a problem with Tatum's talent but on paper, the idea sounded odd. All seemed to be going pretty smoothly with reports of Tatum working on the accent as well as various tricks for the role and even appearing along side Deadpool and X Men: Apocalypse actors earlier this month at San Diego Comic Con, thus solidifying his role in the comic book film. So it was strange that almost immediately after the estimated cost of the film was released, a whopping 154, 975, 309 dollars, reports began to swirl that Channing Tatum might be leaving the project. There is talks that the actor may not play the role of the producer of the film as well as starring in it or he might "exit the project entirely." A shame honestly, Channing is both physically capable as well as charming enough to actually surprise movie goers and bring this long time X men character to life. At the moment no official statement has been made of given so stay tuned for more.
