As a fan who has grown up witnessing Channing Tatum‘s transformation from a charming dancer to a versatile action star, I can confidently say that his journey in playing Gambit was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From his humble beginnings as a stripper-turned-actor to becoming a meme sensation with his over-the-top Cajun accent, Tatum has proven time and again that he can handle any role thrown at him with grace and humor.
Unexpected presents often turn out to be the most cherished ones. For example, Channing Tatum might not have ever imagined that he’d land the role of the card-flinging mutant Gambit in live action before Ryan Reynolds, director Shawn Levy, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige came knocking on his door with a script for Deadpool and Wolverine. He views this opportunity as an unexpected blessing. Thanks to their efforts, Tatum made a name for himself – and became a new internet sensation – as he brought Gambit to life. When we interviewed Channing about his role in Blink Twice, he had a heartfelt message for the Deadpool and Wolverine team, which we’re excited to share below
During interviews about his character in Zoe Kravitz’s first directorial film, “Blink Twice,” Channing Tatum shared a long-held secret role he’d been keeping. It seems that Ryan Reynolds bestowed upon him an unexpected gift – the opportunity to fulfill a dream that had been brewing in his mind for years. Tatum expressed gratitude for this surprise when speaking with TopMob, acknowledging it as a dream come true
I’m absolutely thrilled and thankful beyond words! Kevin Feige and Ryan have bestowed upon me the most incredible present anyone could ask for in this lifetime
It turns out that Tatum didn’t foresee his distinctive quote, “Whoo, I’m about to make a name for myself here,” becoming a viral meme from the movie. A large part of this was likely due to his thick Cajun accent. However, as our conversation with Tatum progressed, it became apparent that he handled the phenomenon of his quote being turned into a meme exceptionally well, and has seen great success in capitalizing on this moment from 22 Jump Street

Is it possible that Marvel Studios will continue collaborating with Channing Tatum, given his character Gambit survived the battle as shown in the deleted scene of Deadpool and Wolverine, and he seems to be waiting for a “Marvel Sparkle Circle” – a device possibly responsible for transporting him out of The Void to a new location? This could potentially mean that Tatum will join other Marvel heroes in an upcoming team-up movie like Avengers: Secret Wars
I’d prefer if Marvel began anew with different actors when they resume the X-Men series. But given the triumph of Deadpool and Wolverine, especially the adoration for Hugh Jackman, it seems we might see a final tribute to the original X-Men cast before a future Marvel film transitions the MCU into a fresh Mutant narrative. The New Mutants? That movie didn’t resonate with many viewers
