Er, I just saw a headline the other day about Ryan Reynolds saying D v W had renewed the studio's interest in that project.

For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
I think a Gambit movie could be interesting. I just don't think Channing Tatum is the right guy. Hey need someone who an do a decent accent and not make it sound like a joke or fade in and out (I swear it did maybe that was just me) and someone who has a leaner build and maybe younger.
someone who an do a decent accent
Honestly, it was deliberately over the top (because, Deadpool movie), but it was really not a bad Cajun accent. If he removed the Deadpool Comedy Factor and dialed it down by about 25%, it would be damn good.
He’s just all wrong for Gambit imho. Watching the recent X-Men cartoon made me really sad we never got a proper Gambit.
I've started my holiday re-watch of Hawkeye, and Clint Barton LARPing is never not funny.
I'm pretty sure there was an interview with Tatum and/or Reynolds where they said they had a discussion about how ridiculous/understandable each of his lines were going to be. I imagine a legitimate movie would turn it down quite a bit
That being said, I agree that he's probably not the right choice for the character.
