Twentieth Century Fox,聽banking heavily聽on the financial and critical success of the latest聽X-Men聽team-up, had already planned a followup for 2016 (X-Men: Apocalypse) as well as another聽Wolverine聽movie the following year 鈥� but that鈥檚 not all the producers are planning.

In addition to having a screenplay聽ready to go for a聽long-in-development聽Deadpool聽movie聽starring Ryan Reynolds and directed by Tim Miller, and a script in the works by Jeff Wadlow for an聽X-Force尘辞惫颈别,听X-Men聽franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner has been聽in talks with Channing Tatum聽about bringing him into the franchise as a key player down the road 鈥� to star in his own聽Gambit聽movie and eventually join the superhero team as well.

For Tatum, he鈥檚 hoping for a聽solo standalone origins movie聽first, to flesh out the questionable history of the thief Remy LeBeau, before he turns a leaf and聽becomes a big part of the X-Men.

It鈥檚 just talks at this stage, and while the producers have essentially confirmed Tatum鈥檚 involvement, nothing is signed just yet. Our own Kofi Outlaw chatted with Channing Tatum earlier today for聽22 Jump Street聽and brought up聽Singer鈥檚 desire to include Gambit in聽X-Men: Apocalypse.

鈥淚 would do anything to be in those movies. I mean, I love the Marvel world and what they鈥檝e created as a real brand and they鈥檝e sort of changed the face of the industry. I would be in anything they put up, especially Gambit.鈥�

滨苍听X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we met a young Remy LeBeau (played by Taylor Kitsch)聽who existed outside聽of the X-Men team and聽rocked a long leather jacket, a purple vest and a bowler hat. He had his staff to use as a weapon and his introductory scene involved his trademark throwing cards, but聽we can expect to get a little more as the character is re-introduced in future films.

鈥楬e鈥檚 kind of really known for having this headpiece that you gotta聽figure out,鈥�聽says Tatum when asked about the costume he might eventually sport, building off of Jonah Hill鈥檚 mention of the leather jacket. Tatum warns that you can鈥檛 just introduce him in his full costume from the books as that wouldn鈥檛 quite make sense.聽鈥淚t鈥檚 gonna be a slow figuring out of the design,鈥�聽he warns of the planning of his outfits:

鈥淵ou kind of have to slowly massage it into a world you believe and that is honest to what the actual property and what the history of the character was鈥� People know and love this character so you have to be honest to what it was in the comics, and you also have to give them something they believe and that they鈥檙e not expecting. And so, it鈥檚 a really delicate line to walk on and we鈥檙e just going to take our time and figure it out.鈥�

At the moment, no聽Gambit聽movie has been scheduled or even announced, the same story for聽Deadpool, X-Force听补苍诲听Mystique聽鈥� all of which have been a talking point from the franchise producers and writers. There is however, an unannounced聽X-Men聽project coming in 2018, two years after聽X-Men: Apocalypse聽(which of course is two years after聽Days of Future Past) and producer Donner did tease a 鈥渟ecret鈥� project she was excited to talk more about in the future while promoting this year鈥檚聽X-Men听颈苍蝉迟补濒濒尘别苍迟.

If Tatum gets his way and has a solo effort first as the Ragin鈥� Cajun, it could be a few years down the road, possibly 2018 at the earliest unless the studio聽adds to its schedule and aims for two X-movies per year. With how the story of聽X-Men: Days of Future Past聽concluded, there are endless possibilities for future installments,聽in various time periods or with various teams. Would you like to see Gambit get his own movie before joining the聽X-Men?聽What costume should he wear as a thief, before joining the team?
