Following his debut in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, Channing Tatum has found new success in portraying the Marvel mutant Gambit. Fans have been eagerly awaiting if the actor will return to the role. Recently, multiple scoops have revealed that Tatum will return as Remy LeBeau in the highly anticipated ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘.
‘Secret Wars‘ is shaping up to be the conclusion of Marvel’s Multiverse Saga. The movie is expected to adapt elements from the 2015 Marvel comic book run of the same name. With such a massive crossover event rumoured to involve numerous characters, it stands to reason that Gambit could factor into the story.
Channing Tatum Has Reportedly Agreed To Return As Gambit For ‘Avenger: Secret Wars‘
According to trusted scoopers and insiders online, Marvel and Channing Tatum have reached to an agreement about bringing Gambit back for ‘Secret Wars‘. Given how popular the character has become after ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, it makes sense that Marvel would want to continue the actor’s portrayal. Tatum has also been very vocal about portraying the character again in future projects.
Marvel has handled Channing Tatum’s Gambit debut in the movie quite well. Other than his comedic relief nature, fans also loved Gambit’s combat scene. Kevin Feige already revealed the franchise will focus on Mutants after ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ so Gambit’s inclusion with other mutants will probably make more sense rather than injecting him solely in the Multiverse fiesta.

Potential Storylines That Could Involve Gambit
There are numerous ways Gambit’s reintroduction could unfold. He may help the heroes as part of an X-Men group stranded in another universe, maybe like the group in the Void.
The movie could also adapt the comic arc where Gambit gained tremendous power from Mister Sinister for a time. His kinetic energy abilities and other skills would prove invaluable against the threats in Secret Wars. Regardless of the direction taken, Channing Tatum reprising the Cajun mutant is sure to thrill audiences.
After finding success with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, a return of Channing Tatum’s Gambit in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘ seems a near certainty based on reports. The actor’s charismatic portrayal made an impression and adding him to the multiverse epic makes great business sense. Fans will be keeping a close ear to the ground for official confirmation of Gambit’s involvement in the finale of the Multiverse Saga.
