Channing Tatum has addressed Gambit’s fate after the events of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ in a recent interview with Collider. The 21 Jump Street actor appeared as the iconic card (kinetic energy-powered) thrower from the X-Men in the latest MCU movie, which has grossed over $1 billion globally. He appeared alongside Dafne Keen’s X-23 (Laura), Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and Jennifer Garner’s Elektra in the film.
In his recent interview with Collider, Tatum talked about Gambit’s future in the MCU following the events of the latest Ryan Reynolds starrer. The actor believes that Gambit is still in the Void, a place containing the remains of alternate universes that were pruned by the Time Variance Authority, better known as the TVA. This is what he said:
“I think at that moment, if I had to guess, he’s definitely still in the Void. But there’s something that’s happening in that moment that maybe no one knows yet.”
Tatum’s Gambit jokingly claims that he was born into the Void. This forced some diehard Marvel fans to analyse the mutant’s fate in the MCU. Some believe that Gambit doesn’t belong to any universe. It means that the character can become a part of either Earth-10005 (The X-Men Universe) or Earth-616 (The Sacred Timeline). He could get a new life like Laura (Keen) and Logan (Hugh Jackman) in either of these timelines, given that Gambit’s death was not confirmed in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Fox announced Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie in early 2014, which was supposed to be a part of the studio’s X-Men franchise. Josh Zetumer even wrote the film’s script. However, Fox buried the project following Disney’s acquisition of the former studio. Directors such as Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman, and Gore Verbinski were once a part of the unproduced Gambit movie.
