Don’t mean to trigger the Gambit fans here. But help me understand.. Why all the hate on Channing Tatum as Gambit? I’m not a Channing Tatum fan, but D&W was meant to be comedic and funny, hence Tatum’s accent may have been exaggerated and made meant to be hilarious.
And heck, Hugh Jackman Wolverine isn’t even comic accurate. (6’2” vs 5’3”, and body type) i believe ppl love Hugh as Wolverine because of the nostalgia factor, but let’s face it, there may be more potential actors who would portray Wolverine even more accurately.
But Tatum as Gambit, people should give the man a chance. Yeah he looks like a friggin bouncer but if he really was serious about his role, who knows he may get into a shredding program? There’s also surgery lol.
We’ve yet to see him on an upcoming XMen movie in the MCU in the future. Hope y’all stay safe and have a good long weekend ✌🏻

For me, Channing Tatum earned it. Say a solo movie, buddy film, a solo with supporting characters of really significant screen time, etc. Lately, Ryan Reynolds released the video of Gambit with a portal opening. Such portal could then lead to his own home timeline.
The MCU is multiversal, hence Tatum's Gambit could have his adventure in his own home, separate from the continuity of the Sacred Timeline, yet still part of God of Stories Loki's World Tree. Even Snipes' Blade 4, his "Logan" film counterpart conclusion could be done too that way, and Ali's own would still be the main MCU's. Who knows, that portal could lead to one of the Wolverines, like Cavillrine's, Patch's, brown/tan variant's (the one with vs Hulk), the one-handed Age of Apocalypse variant's, etc.
Such could be self-contained, confined into their own universes. Maybe Gambit could have his own Jubilee (Negasonic analogue) and Strong Guy (Colossus, big guy analogue) for example, as they were Gambit & the Externals after all in AoE. Hence the Sacred Timeline would be free for any future "recast", including Gambit himself. Tom Holland was recasted as MCU Spidey/Peter Parker, and yet after the introduction of the Multiverse, both Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's own still exist at the same time.
Such approach could also make possible for other R-rated superhero films under Disney/Marvel, just like D&W. Come to think of it, there's the ongoing Sony's own Spidey universe, which Disney has no control, which is canonically still part of the Multiverse.
