Lizzy Caplan, in a recent interview with Business Insider, revealed details about the scrapped Channing Tatum Gambit movie. She described the film's concept as "a really cool idea," a 1930s-style screwball romantic comedy set within the superhero universe. Caplan confirmed her involvement, stating that she'd signed on and even held meetings with Tatum before production was ultimately halted. She corroborated previous comments from producer Simon Kinberg, who in 2018 described the film's intended tone as a "romantic or sex comedy vibe," fitting with Gambit's character. The project, planned as far back as 2017, was reportedly ready to begin filming before being canceled following the 2019 Disney-Fox merger. Tatum's subsequent cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine surprised fans, given his previous struggles and admitted "traumatization" from the failed Gambit project. The future of Tatum's Gambit remains uncertain, though Marvel Studios has confirmed the eventual introduction of the X-Men into the MCU. Last August, Ryan Reynolds' tweet of a clearer version of a Deadpool & Wolverine scene fueled further speculation among fans.
