Avengers: Doomsday’s Channing Tatum on why he relates to Gambit

Channing Tatum, who is busy promoting his new movie Roofman, recently shared some details about his character Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday.

The actor stated that Gambit is “still going to be the Cajun.” He added, “You know, he’s still going to be the raging Cajun he is. He was the most real out of all of the X-Men to me. He liked women, he smoked, he drank. His moral compass was very gray. He was never going to be a villain. He didn’t have the heart to be a villain, but he wasn’t exactly a hero, hero. And, I think that’s very human.”

Tatum also shared why he relates to Gambit so much and stated, “Not everybody knows like my journey with Gambit. It was my favorite character growing up. I was the kid throwing you know playing cards at my friends in the living room when I was like in third grade. And so, like, that is literally my guy. Like, I love him so much. I love him for so many reasons. And I’m just glad that, one, that Ryan gave me a chance to actually play him and show the world what I saw in him.” Tatum also stated that playing Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday is “even more delicious than I can even describe.”

Although Tatum has not shared much about Avengers: Doomsday, he said in a previous interview with ET, “It’s going to make your brains ooze out of your ears. Like in the way I knew when Blade walks on screen in Deadpool & Wolverine, people are going to physically lose their actual minds.”
