Channing Tatum has a new job, y'all! The guy with the best pelvic thrusts in Hollywood has been confirmed to play Gambit in future X-Men films.
It all started when Lauren Shuler Donner - the producer of the film - said that she wanted Channing to play the comic book character, but sod's law, he was already in talks for a solo film (whatever that means).
But good news! Total Film has confirmed in a video interview with Lauren, that Gambit will be played by Channing.
Explaining why Tatum has been selected, she said: "He's a rogue, he's a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau.
"He can handle the action, as we know, and he's got a real good heart, I know him personally."
Jealous.
She added: "He'll be great for Gambit, and he's a southerner too, he understands that world, and you know Gambit loves New Orleans."
Channing Tatum has been a bit of a Chatty Cathy, too! Telling MTV: "I met with Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I've ever loved.
"I mean I've loved them all, they're all great, but I guess from being down south - my dad's from Louisiana, I'm from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida - I don't know. I just related to him."
