Lizzy Caplan, in a recent interview with Business Insider, revealed details about the scrapped Channing Tatum Gambit movie. She described the film's concept as "a really cool idea," elaborating that it aimed for a "’30s kind of screwball romantic comedy set in that world." This aligns with producer Simon Kinberg's 2018 comments to IGN, where he described the intended tone as a "romantic or sex comedy vibe," fitting with Gambit's character. Caplan confirmed her involvement, stating that she signed on, had meetings with Tatum, and the project was nearing a start date before its cancellation following the 2019 Disney-Fox merger. Tatum's journey to bring Gambit to the screen, including his "traumatized" experience, is well-documented, culminating in a surprise cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. The future of Tatum's Gambit remains uncertain, though Marvel Studios' confirmed plans to introduce the X-Men into the MCU fuel speculation. Last August, Ryan Reynolds' tweet of a high-quality Deadpool & Wolverine scene further ignited fan theories.
