Channing Tatum’s Gambit officially returns to the MCU after Deadpool & Wolverine, this time surrounded by Fox’s original X-Men cast in Avengers: Doomsday. More than a decade after Taylor Kitsch’s Gambit made a tepid impression in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Channing Tatum stole the spotlight with his comedic Gambit performance in Deadpool & Wolverine. While Deadpool & Wolverine‘s ending doesn’t reveal what exactly happens to Gambit and the rest of the resistance in the Void, one of Deadpool & Wolverine‘s blink-and-you-miss-it easter eggs shows Gambit smirking at a TVA camera, suggesting he would return sooner rather than later.
As revealed by Marvel Studios in Avengers: Doomsday‘s official cast announcement live event, Channing Tatum will return as the Gambit variant introduced in Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum’s Gambit joins other multiversal X-Men characters such as Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, James Marsden’s Cyclops, Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, and Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique in Avengers: Doomsday. Other X-Men heroes like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool are expected to return.
