Deadpool & Wolverine actor Channing Tatum will return to the MCU in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday, but he wouldn’t confirm that it’s for a return as the card-dealin’ mutant Gambit.
Speaking with Extra TV, Tatum said “Personally, all I was guaranteed was a chair. They said that I have a char, and I can at least watch the movie from the chair. You know, and it was just my name, it wasn’t exactly Gambit. So, I work in the world of just, like, binary yes or no’s, and I’ve only been guaranteed so far a chair to watch the movie in, so that’s where I’m at.”
Is he alluding to himself playing another role, or simply trying to avoid Kevin Feige’s Marvel snipers? Only time will tell.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026.
