Ryan Reynolds says Marvel is ‘obsessed’ with Channing Tatum’s Gambit after Deadpool & Wolverine
actor hopes this year’s Marvel film can serve as a proof of concept for a major Gambit return.
It’s unclear what the future holds for Channing Tatum’s Gambit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his triumphant debut in Deadpool & Wolverine, but the film’s actor, writer, and executive producer Ryan Reynolds says Marvel is “obsessed” with this performance. Some might say that’s a good sign.
“I honestly don’t know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they’re obsessed with him in that role,” Reynolds says of Tatum’s card-slinging Cajun mutant on Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast. “It’s kind of like the same situation I went through. Once you show that it works well, that’s really what they need. Sometimes they just need to see it in action.
Reynolds is referring to that test footage of his Deadpool that leaked in 2014 and proved to the studio that there was enough hype to move forward with a movie. Earlier this year, Reynolds admitted he “might have provided an assist” in that leak. In a similar way, he hopes Deadpool & Wolverine can be a proof of concept to Marvel to bring back Tatum as Gambit
