Interesting news on the X-Men movie buzz.
Sexy Channing Tatum has been talking to X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner about a possible Gambit film. Now, if you don't know who Gambit is, here's a quick and dirty: He's a hot and mysterious Cajun mutant who can control and manipulate pure kinetic energy to his will. He is also very skilled in card-throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a bō.
Okay, so he's been talking to Fox's X-Team and this is what he had to say:
"I met with Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I’ve ever loved. I mean I’ve loved them all, they’re all great, but I guess from being down south – my dad’s from Louisiana, I’m from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida – I don’t know. I just related to him. He’s just kind of suave…
He’s the most un X-Men X-Man that’s ever been in X-Men. Other than maybe Wolverine, who’s like the anti-hero. He’s a thief. He’s not even a hero. He’s kind of walking the line of grey. He loves women and drinking and smoking and stuff, so he’s just a cool guy who happens to have a moral center. I hope it [comes together]. You never know it’s a weird industry. If the stars align, I would die to play it. I’m already working on the accent. It’s crappy at the moment."
Well, I never thought of Channing in this role... Can he pull it off?

I think he has the chops to pull it off. However, physically I would see a much leaner - less muscle - more triathlete build myself.
ReplyDeleteI like Channing so I am good with this :)
I agree, he can definitely pull off the looks but the accent can be excruciatingly painful if not done right.
