Ryan Reynolds Teases Channing Tatum's Gambit Return in Record-Breaking 'Deadpool & Wolverine'
  • Channing Tatum has long desired to portray Gambit, and his recent appearance hints that the character may not be finished in the cinematic universe despite earlier assumptions of his demise.

  • Reynolds hinted that Tatum's Gambit might still be alive, suggesting undisclosed developments for the character.

  • In the film, Gambit is depicted encountering an inter-dimensional portal after the final battle, which implies his potential return to the multiverse.

  • The film has achieved remarkable success, breaking box office records to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, with earnings exceeding $1.086 billion.

  • Tatum expressed gratitude to Reynolds for supporting his role as Gambit, calling the film a 'masterpiece' and celebrating the opportunity to finally portray the character.

  • Reynolds has been vocal about wanting Wesley Snipes' Blade to play a significant role in future films, especially following Snipes' cameo in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'.

  • Snipes' cameo thrilled fans and humorously referenced the MCU's reboot attempts with Mahershala Ali, further solidifying Blade's legacy in the Marvel universe.

  • Ryan Reynolds recently tweeted a high-quality clip from 'Deadpool & Wolverine' featuring Gambit, played by Channing Tatum, igniting speculation about the character's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

  • This buzz around Gambit suggests potential future projects for the character, although no official confirmations have been made yet.

  • As Marvel reassesses its strategy after a tumultuous period, simply adding Snipes may not resolve ongoing issues with the Blade project.

  • Although McElhenney filmed scenes as a Time Variance Authority soldier, they were ultimately cut from the final version of the film, though Reynolds hopes they will be included in digital extras.

  • The production faced high expectations, adding stress for Reynolds, who expressed a sense of calm when co-star Rob McElhenney was present.
