Wolverine Star Taylor Kitsch breaks the silence on Channing Tatum replacing him as Gambit
Channing Tatum was attached to Gambit Film originally for its release in 2016. 20th Century Fox made several attempts to bring the project into theaters, burning filmmakers like Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman and Gore Verbinski.
X-Men Franchise producer Lauren Shuler giving essentially threw Tatum on a whim, because he had repeatedly expressed an interest in playing Remy Lebeau in several interviews. Left X-Men Origins: Wolverine Star Taylor Kitsch in the cold.
It was reported that Tatum was Fox’s first choice for the 2009 spin-off, so the actor was able to play Gambit last summer Deadpool and Wolverine was a complete moment of circle for the Magic Mike And 21 Jump Street star.
Screen Rant recently spoke with Kitsch premium videos The list of terminals: Dark Wolfinciting him to break his silence to be replaced by Tatum (which will resume the role in next December Avengers: Doomsday).
“I don’t have it,” Kitsch replied when he was asked if he had seen the version of Gambit Tatum. Asked if it was a painful subject, he added, “No, no, not at all, guy. It’s trade, guy. Everything is fine. It’s like I like the path on which I am and the actor I have become and the stories in which I engage. No play on words, here is a quote for you, but Gambit was not in the cards for me, guy.”
“Never say, but I don’t know, guy,” Kitsch said Gambit was now in his background. “I don’t know. I love where I am, guy, so I have no regrets with that. It was not, sometimes it is not in my power to say who or who can play what. I can only focus on people who want to work with me and collaborate with me.”
You have to feel for kitsch, even if it’s been a long time since he has not played Gambit for the first time, and he has clearly passed the role. Tatum was always going to be the biggest drawer, and the character is the one who seems much more passionate.
“I thought I had lost Gambit forever. But but [Ryan Reynolds] fought for me and gambit, “ Tatum said about its MCU debut shortly after the release of Deadpool and Wolverine. “I probably owe him forever. Because I don’t know how I could do something that would be equal to what it said for me.”
“I love you my friend … I am so grateful to be in this film. He is a masterpiece in my opinion. And just a pure wickedness. I literally shouted in the theater.”
In a later interview, Tatum confirmed that he was interested in making an autonomous gambit film, noting, “I say that I have been wanting it for 10 years. It’s in the hands of Bob Iger and Kevin Feige. I pray to God.”
Do you think the kitsch should have been brought back as a gambit for Deadpool and Wolverine?
