For 15 years, Channing Tatum wanted to play Marvel character Gambit in a movie.
A 2014 film was developed but then Disney bought Fox and put the “Gambit” project on ice.
Now at last, Gambit played by Tatum has turned up in “Deadpool and Wolverine.” Tatum is a hit, and the card throwing superhero could easily get his own film or TV series.
It’s been a long road. But read Tatum’s lovely thank you note to Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy for including him in “D&W.” Nothing in Hollywood is easy.
