Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Channing Tatum shines as Gambit in his MCU debut, which could inform a key aspect of the X-Men reboot.
• Fans want a solo movie for Gambit after the success of Deadpool & Wolverine.
• Marvel's rebooted X-Men should feature comic-accurate suits, starting fresh and taking cues from Gambit and Wolverine's suits.

Channing Tatum finally played Gambit, and the actor's role in Deadpool & Wolverine bodes well for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's X-Men reboot. Tatum was first cast to play Gambit back in 2014. The star was meant to headline a solo movie as the character, but after several years of development, the project fell through when Fox became part of Disney. Calls for a new version of Tatum's Gambit movie have started to emerge, with fans wanting a role for Tatum in future MCU projects after his Deadpool & Wolverine debut.

Tatum's Gambit was part of the Resistance fighting against Cassandra Nova in the Void, which also included multiple returning heroes from the Marvel multiverse. Still, Tatum managed to outshine most of them to become one of the film's most talked about aspects, and among the many reasons the character's debut was so successful is something that serves to showcase how Marvel Studios' reboot of the X-Men should differ from Fox's X-Men movies in a major way.

3 Channing Tatum’s Gambit Got A Comic Book-Accurate Costume In His First Appearance Marvel Studios Got Gambit Right Two Times In The Same Year Close 2024 really is the year of Gambit, with Marvel Studios putting forth two excellent versions of the character — albeit each great in different ways — in the animated X-Men '97 and with Tatum's Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. The latter was the first time that Gambit wore his comic book-accurate suit in live-action.

2 The MCU’s X-Men Should Have Comics-Accurate Suits From The Start Deadpool & Wolverine Makes That More Likely Close Thankfully, Marvel Studios went all out for Tatum's Gambit debut. The actor wore the hero's full costume from the comics, headpiece, armor, and long coat included. Gambit getting a comic book-accurate costume in his first appearance, along with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine donning his iconic yellow and blue costume in his MCU debut, means that Marvel will likely give the X-Men their classic team uniforms right from the start. That would separate the MCU's X-Men movie from the Fox franchise from the get-go, as those movies were seemingly afraid of going for a comic book-accurate route, starting with baffling black leather.

After Deadpool & Wolverine revisited the Fox era of Marvel movies, it is time for the MCU's reboot of the mutant team to distance itself from it and the franchise's controversies. By following Gambit's lead and going for comics-accurate costumes from the start, Marvel would cement that a new era for the franchise would be about to begin.
