Marvel star teases solo movie we never thought we'd see

Unless you have been living under a rock, you will know that Deadpool & Wolverine was a pretty big cinema release this year.

As Marvel’s only feature film this year, Deadpool & Wolverine took the box office by storm this summer as we saw Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman team up to save the world.

Featuring non-stop action and a whole lot of R-rated humour, it is no wonder that the Marvel movie spent multiple weeks at the top of the box office.

However, the movie also welcomed back some old faces as well as the introduction of one new character who fans have fallen in love with.

Deadpool & Wolverine may have brought back Jennifer Garner as Elektra and Wesley Snipes as Blade but it also introduced us to Gambit.

Played by Channing Tatum, Gambit, also known as Remy LeBeau, made his first comic book appearance in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 but has shot to fame since his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.

So much fame in fact, that fans are calling for his very own movie.

During an appearance on Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast, Ryan Reynolds discussed the love for Channing Tatum’s superhero.

"I honestly don't know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they're obsessed with him in that role,” he shared.

"It's kind of like the same situation I went through.

Once you show that it works well, that's really what they need. Sometimes they just need to see it in action.

And Channing is so singular in how he plays that character. but also he's so beautiful physically, the way he moves and the way he can pick up steps."

Although we could see a potential Gambit movie in the works, Tatum himself isn’t so sure.

"You never know,” he said in an interview with Collider.

“I mean, literally, I could never be in another Marvel movie again, and it wouldn't surprise me because I've had it in my hand before, and it's gone away.

I’m always grain-of-salting it, but I'm hoping that Kevin [Feige] will allow me in."

Here’s hoping we will see the card-slinging hero in his very own movie soon.
