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. This aligns with producer Simon Kinberg's 2018 comments to IGN, describing the intended tone as a "romantic or sex comedy vibe," fitting with Gambit's character. Caplan confirmed her involvement, stating that she signed on, had meetings with Tatum, and the project was poised to begin filming before its cancellation. The film's demise followed the 2019 Disney-Fox merger, leaving Tatum reportedly "traumatized" by the experience. While the future of Tatum's Gambit remains uncertain, the character's brief appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine sparked renewed fan speculation, particularly after Ryan Reynolds shared a high-quality version of a scene from that film last August. The arrival of the X-Men in the MCU further fuels anticipation for Gambit's eventual return.
