Deadpool 4: Everything We Know
With Deadpool & Wolverine being the most anticipated movie of 2024, it’s worth looking ahead to if Deadpool will return again for Deadpool 4.
Will Channing Tatum’s Gambit Return After Deadpool & Wolverine?
Assuming that Gambit is actually alive and well afterDeadpool & Wolverine’sconclusion, it begs the question of whether Marvel Studios will bring back Tatum as the beloved X-Men hero. Given the response that Tatum has received as Gambit in the Phase 5 installment, Marvel Studios is certainly aware there is already growing popularity for his depiction. WhileTatum’sGambitmoviemay not be a possibility, there are plenty of ways to bring him back in different MCU projects.
As Marvel Studios gets closer to the end ofThe Multiverse Saga, they are laying out more building blocks forAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars, which will, undoubtedly, have multiple Marvel characters return. The major Phase 6 movies would make the most sense to have Tatum back as Gambit one last time, where he could also cross paths with other MCU characters and Marvel heroes from different universes. If Tatum’s Gambit got to interact with any of the other X-Men characters from the Fox-Marvel franchise, that would be a great full-circle moment, as his version of Remy was never featured in the original trilogy or the prequels.
If it is true thattheAvengers: Secret Warsstorywill lead to a soft reboot for the MCU after Phase 6, The Multiverse Saga may be the final time that Tatum could reprise his Gambit role fromDeadpool & Wolverine. Depending on what direction the X-Men reboot goes, they may go with a younger actor for Gambit in the main MCU timeline. Hopefully, following his debut inDeadpool & Wolverine, 2024 will not be the final appearance of Tatum’s Gambit.
