Channing Tatum Addresses Rumors That He'll Appear As 'Gambit' In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
Magic Mike XXL star Channing Tatum talks here about rumours that Gambit will be making an appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse before starring in a solo movie next year, while Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) addresses reports that his time playing Beast is nearing an end...
In the following interviews with MTV News, Channing Tatum and Nicholas Hoult discuss their role (or lack thereof) in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. In Tatum's case, it appears as if nothing is set in stone in regards to Gambit showing up in that movie before his solo outing next year. "You know, I don’t know if I’m at liberty to say," the actor said. "But I don’t think I want to introduce Gambit until you can really explain who Gambit is."
Hoult meanwhile - who along with a number of other actors is not expected to appear in any future X-Men movies - had this to say about those reports. "This is the last contracted one for now, so we’ll wait and see what the guys come up with. Simon Kinberg’s writing this one again, and Brian [Singer] is directing, so it’s going to be a good crew. There’s some cool stuff.
