GAMBIT<\/a> star Channing Tatum<\/strong> recently participated in a “Ask Me Anything” chat with fans on Reddit<\/a>. The actor confirmed that he “definitely will not” appear in Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a>, which doesn’t come as a big shock as he previously said<\/a>: “I don\u2019t think I want to introduce Gambit until you can really explain who Gambit is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum also opened up on finding director<\/a> Rupert Wyatt<\/strong> (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler), saying “We finally found someone that I really do believe wants to make Gambit, it will be the second standalone character. And I just really think because Gambit is not the most popular or the biggest hero, I think there’s a really unique opportunity. Marvel’s done a lot of great movies that have made a ridiculous amount of money, and it’s always good to figure how to change the form.”<\/p>\n

Filming begins later this year for a October 7, 2016 theatrical release.<\/p>\n
