meh Fox's X-Men are done

So stupid. This has been in development hell for how long? Not just that but Tatum’s popularity has tapered off and Gambit isn’t exactly a wildly popular character. Just don’t see the point especially amidst the looming Disney acquisition.

The higher-ups will get this shut down.

Iger even just said in an an interview the THR:

No surprises there.

i think the only real question is when and how they’ew going to release the two completed films, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants.

i don't see anything in post. only when i quote it do i see link to twitter...

In your browser, such as FireFox if you have it set to block "trackers", it blocks the Twitter embeds. I had to disable that setting (changed it from always to only in private windows) for this site and others that utilize socialmedia embedding to be able to see them.



Alternatively you can choose to disable it by individual site by clicking the icon in the left side of the address bar and choosing to do so.

Channing Tatum says he's 'traumatized' and can't watch Marvel superhero movies

(CNN)Channing Tatum says he is traumatized after his dreams of playing a Marvel superhero fell apart.

The "Magic Mike" star was set to play X-Men character Gambit in his own movie in 2016, but after production delays, the movie never happened.
Tatum and his producing partner, Reid Carolin, were producing the movie and also wanted to direct, but the studio was against it. The two had already cast the movie and were close to shooting in New Orleans.

"The studio really didn't want us to direct it," Tatum told Variety. "They wanted anybody but us, essentially, because we had never directed anything."
When Disney merged with Fox in 2019, they decided to redesign the X-Men franchise "from the ground up," said Tatum, who was devastated.
"Once 'Gambit' went away, I was so traumatized," he said, adding that he can't watch any Marvel movies now.

"I shut off my Marvel machine. I haven't been able to see any of the movies. I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him," he said, noting that Gambit was the "coolest."
"Most superheroes, their outfits are utilitarian. Batman's got his belt. Gambit's like, 'No, this s**t's just fly, bro! This s**t walked down the Paris runway last year.' He's just wearing the stuff that's so dope because he loves fashion," Tatum said.

I actually liked Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. I'm sure we will see a new Gambit when Marvel gets the franchise going again.

Whatever, mon ami. Tatum was so traumatized all he's got is a movie with a dog and another Magic Mike.

I'd prefer a Kitsch film though at this point, make it Logan Lerman or Dylan O'Brien.

Tatum wanted to make Gambit a runaway model in the outskirts of Paris. I can picture Gambit walking down strutting his stuff to the soundtrack "I'm too sexy". Meanwhile Rogue probably played by a Kardashian.

No wonder Marvel said hell to the nah!

Of the actors Hollywood desperately wanted to make in to movie stars like Jai Courtney, Sam Worthington or Liam Hemsworth, Taylor Kitsch is the only one I was rooting for. I loved him in Friday Night Lights and when he got his chance with John Carter and Battleship he went away pretty fast, at least regarding big movie productions.

Yeah, I was down for more Kitsch as Gambit. It's a shame they never revisited that character, considering they made 9 more movies set in the X-verse(counting Deadpool and New Mutants) after his appearance.

A Channing Tatum Gambit? We have no reference what that could have been, but it doesn't sound appealing.
