DEADPOOL 3: [SPOILER] Rumored To Finally Make Cameo Appearance In Threequel After Years Of Near-Misses

This actor spent years trying to bring this Marvel superhero to theaters, but if a new rumour is to be believed, they'll finally get the chance to suit up in Deadpool 3. You can find more details here...

There was a time when it looked like Channing Tatum was going to play X-Men character Gambit in his own solo movie. Originally set for release in 2016, the project was hit by countless creative issues and delays before the Disney/Fox merger sealed its fate when the spin-off, along with several other projects, was scrapped. 

Tatum has since shared his disappointment that he wasn't given the chance to take on the role of the fan-favourite mutant, but may end up getting a second chance.

This isn't the first time we've heard the rumour, but it's once again being reported - by reliable insider @mytimetoshineh1 - that Tatum has shot a cameo appearance in Marvel Studios' Deadpool 3

Taylor Kitsch previously played the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but a splashy cameo from Tatum would be a fun way to give him a long-overdue chance to play the Cajun hero...and take full advantage of the potential Marvel's Multiverse has. 

Talking about missing out on starring in Gambit, Tatum previously said he was left "traumatized" by the experience, adding that he, "shut off [his] Marvel machine" and was unable to watch any of the other Marvel movies. Why? Because "I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him." 

It's also been reported Ben Affleck has filmed a cameo as Daredevil, suggesting we'll see a lot of references to 20th Century Fox's Marvel movies before saying a final farewell to that reality. After all, if Deadpool 3 doesn't end with the Merc with the Mouth stranded in the MCU, what's the point? 

Alongside Ryan Reynolds and Wolverine, Deadpool franchise vets Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), and Rob Delaney (Peter) are all also set to return.

Emma Corrin has also signed up as a mystery character, while we also recently learned that Matthew Macfadyen will likely play a TVA agent named Paradox in the movie. 

Deadpool 3 is set to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.

I think x-men 97 is laying the groundwork for the live action movie, as far as characters and costumes. I think this rumor is true and Tatums gambit will resemble the animated version and I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the x-men reboot

I just hope it’s not like a wink wink kinda thing. If they’re going to use him like make him Gambit not just Tatum in cosplay.

@GodHercules20 - ...this is literally the end of it. Closest thing is Deadpool might remain but in the mcu after the events of this movie.

After Multiverse of madness and Spiderman, I will not watch a movie which has cameos. Is pretty clear these movies are for those who will watch such scenes and say I know that.

Shrek Gambit, ok, but only as one variant, nit main Gambit.
Also fake Negasonic and fake Yukio are meh.

I would be so excited for D3 if Disney wasn't involved. They're gonna find a way to damage it one way or another.

@Typhoon20 - as if people around here were thrilled with Deadpool 2. Even though I think it’s hilarious and criminally underrated, the response around here was not good

This has the potential to be hilarious. The guy’s clearly going to be a variant and not the final, MCU version. People need to unclench.

@Jackraow21 - I can't imagine being one of these sad, joyless dudes. We live in a golden age of comic book movies. Let's just enjoy it, instead of searching for faults in every release.

@ClintThaHamster - The thing that's worrying me is how everything is latching onto multiverse shenanigans. And I'm not just talking about Marvel. It's everywhere.

Marvel is obviously doing the Multiverse Saga. We've had Spider-Man and Multiverse of Madness which were both full of cameos from actors in alternate roles, or as their previously played characters. Now Deadpool os sounding like it's doing the same thing.

DC just did the same thing with Flash.

Hell, even Everything Everywhere All At Once did it last year and won Oscars.

But with CBM's it's starting to feel like a gimmick, and it's only just started. We have 2 or 3 more years of this.

I will say that @Jackraow21 has a point with Deadpool though. They can do some pretty funny things with this gimmick. But we've already had several movies doing the cameo-fest thing. I just hope it doesn't get played out, because I can see that happening.

@ClintThaHamster - 💯

People obviously don’t remember the 70’s-90’s when we could only dream of the day when the worst of these would still be a reality

@CorndogBurglar - that was my one knock w Krasinski in Multiverse of Madness.

His one-off felt like such a massive waste of potential for a fleeting cheap audience ‘pop’ when I would FAR prefer him over Driver for the actual recurring role
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 7/4/2023, 10:07 AM
@SauronthePower - Couldn't agree more!
Jackraow21
Jackraow21 - 7/4/2023, 12:31 PM
@CorndogBurglar - I can see Deadpool making it work whereas other films did not. Precisely because they can lean into the ridiculousness of it and even poke fun of it… hopefully in raunchy and/or violent ways that are trademark Deadpool. I’m sure we’ll get some whiners complaining about not respecting certain characters, just as we did over one of the funniest gags in Deadpool 2 (when they introduced X-Force only to kill most of them off immediately as a gag), but those folks maybe should just stay home if they’re easily triggered. This is an R-rated black comedy. Know that going into it, and you’ll be okay.

@Jackraow21 - lol I love Deadpool 2 and laughed my ass off at that scene. But the Deadpool movies are basically parody movies. I don't know why anyone would think that was supposed to be their serious attempt at bringing X-Force onto the careen. It obviously wasnt.

@SauronthePower - I agree there. It was so awesome seeing Krasinski at Mr. Fantastic. I really hope they reconsider bringing him back. He's perfect in the role.

SauronthePower - 7/5/2023, 7:08 PM
@PC04 - absolutely!

He better have action scenes hate see him as gambit talking not using his powers and fighting

I was one of the fee people that actually wanted to see Tatum play Gambit.

He seems to have a lot of love for the character, and he definitely looks the part. And supposedly he lived in Louisiana for a while and can do the accent....at least that's what he said back in the day when he was campaigning for the role.

I'm not real sure where all the hate come from with this guy. Granted I haven't seen him in tons of movies, but he's great in the 21 Jump Street movies.

disappointed.

another cameo fest multiverse movie....

I expected better from the writers of the Deadpool movies.

I guess them not caring about Wolverine's swan song in Logan should have been the first sign there will be no emotional core in this movie, like there was in the first 2 Deadpool movies.

@JamesGyoke - Thats an awful lot of assumptions you are making. How about waiting for a trailer at least? Not worth getting wound up over rumors.
