According to Caplan, the film was imagined as a vivian -style romantic comedy of the 1930s set within the Marvel universe.

He explained: “We got off the road, we would have shot. I think there has been a start date. I had had encounters with Channing, and there were a couple of several … we had a director, then we did not do it, but I had more encounters with Channing and the other producers.

“They wanted to do, how, a type of romantic comedy of the 1930s set in that world, which would have been really fun.”

But when Disney acquired Fox in 2019, the study demolished the project, effectively killing the long -standing passion of Tatum for the role.

The actor admitted Variety In 2022 which was “traumatized” by the film that fell to pieces. “I closed my Marvel car. I was unable to see any of the films. I loved that character. It was too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to interpret it. “

In a post on social media, the actor thanked Ryan Reynolds For having made it happen, saying: “I thought I had lost Gambit forever. But [Reynolds] Fought for me and Gambit. I will probably have to forever. Because I’m not sure how I could never do something that would be the same as this has meant for me.

Tatum’s performance has rekindled the demand for fans for a Gambit Solo film and the actor clarified that he is still on board. “I said I want it in the last 10 years. It is inside Bob Iger AND Kevin FeigeHands. I pray to God. “

Reynolds also intervened, saying that Marvel’s managers are “obsessed with him in that role”. He compared the Tatum situation to his journey with Dead PoolBy suggesting that once Marvel sees something work, they tend to take note of it. “Sometimes they just need to see it in action.”

With Tatum’s Gambit finally arrives on the big screen and Marvel clearly aware of the demand for fans, the door may not be completely closed on a solo movie. It remains to see if it happens.
