    Channing Tatum has met with X-Men producers to play Gambit



    From Superherohype.com

    Back in September of last year, Channing Tatum made a bit of a splash when he admitted to wanting to play the X-Men character Gambit, and now it seems that might actually be happening. Speaking with MTV (via /Film), Tatum confirmed that he has met with "X-Men" producer Lauren Shuler Donner, who has been involved in the casting for every single "X-Men" film.

    "I met with Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I’ve ever loved. I mean I’ve loved them all, they’re all great, but I guess from being down south – my dad’s from Louisiana, I’m from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida – I don’t know. I just related to him. He’s just kind of suave… He’s the most un X-Men X-Man that’s ever been in X-Men. Other than maybe Wolverine, who’s like the anti-hero. He’s a thief. He’s not even a hero. He’s kind of walking the line of grey…He loves women and drinking and smoking and stuff so he’s just a cool guy who happens to have a moral center….I hope it [comes together]. You never know it’s a weird industry. If the stars align, I would die to play it. I’m already working on the accent. It’s crappy at the moment."
    Unclear which movie yet, but it is exciting!

    He should be a good choice. Charming and a bit of a rebel, he fits the part.

    Too bad about Taylor Kitsch not getting the part (he played Gambit in the Wolverine movie)

    I hope he does an exaggerated Cajun accent. That would be awesome in my opinion.
