In an interview with Total Film, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) producer Lauren Shuler Donner confirmed actor Channing Tatum has been cast as fan-favorite mutant Remy LeBeau aka Gambit. Donner didn't reveal in which upcoming film Tatum's incarnation of the New Orleans thief-turned-X-man will first appear, but future X-films include X-Men: Apocalypse, X-Force and The Wolverine 2.
Previously, Gambit was played by Taylor Kitsch in the poorly received X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). No word yet as to whether Tatum's Gambit will be a continuation of that character or a clean-slate reboot.
Tatum is starring in two films this summer: 22 Jump Street, due in theaters on June 13th, and the Wachowkis' Jupiter Ascending, due on July 18th.
