The Superhero Cinematic Civil War: The SUMC Was In The Amazon With My Mom Studying Spiders Right Before It Died - Part 61

I dont know if Gambit is gonna get his own solo branded movie. But I see Tatum playing him in the MCU moving forward
Channing Tatum in Deadpool and Wolverine works in the same way that he works in the 21 and 22 Jump Street films, because they’re both comedies that are taking the piss out of and riffing on the original source material. He’s perfect for that because his acting sensibilities are suited to playing the kind of roles that are self deprecating and making fun of the types of characters he plays in more serious films, namely, the dull, boring, himbo leading man (i.e. — G.I. Joe, Step Up, White House down, etc). Whenever he just plays it straight, he’s so unmemorable and boring because he’s not a great dramatic actor, but when he plays it jokingly, it works because he’s best at comedy and being the butt of and in on the joke and making fun of the fact that he knows he’s not leading man material.

For the same reason Channing Tatum’s character from 21 and 22 Jump Street would not work in a more straight, serious version of 21 Jump Street, Channing Tatum’s Gambit from Deadpool and Wolverine would not work in a more dramatic role in a mainline X-Men film because that version of the character is supposed to be a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. And that’s not even factoring in him being too old (he’s 44 and would be pushing 50 by the time we get the MCU versions of the X-Men) and his physicality not being right for the character.

Casting him as MCU Gambit would be a huge mistake. It needs to go to someone who is younger and more fresh faced, can be dramatic and charismatic and look the part.

MCU Gambit is right here my friend.

But Disney will be cowards.

Wasn't Gervais the one who called out the industry for protecting Harvey Weinstein or was that a different host?

Nah that was him. He served Hollywood up for that one.
