Channing Tatum's Fan-Favorite Gambit Survives Deadpool & Wolverine in Newly Revealed Scene

Gambit fans, rejoice — more of Channing Tatum's card-wielding superhero is upon us.

Ryan Reynolds shared a closer look at Tatum's cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine on Instagram Aug. 27, showing the Louisiana-native X-Men mutant Gambit/Remy LeBeau seemingly having survived that epic battle scene.

While the character's fate remains unclear in Deadpool & Wolverine following the action-packed sequence, the newly released scene shows him walking triumphantly among the carnage around him before looking up into the sky and smiling.

"*whispers* Marvel Sparkle Circle," Reynolds, 47, wrote in the caption, adding, "A version of this sequence is in the film, playing on one of the monitors in deep background of the TVA."

He added the hashtag, "#WooImAboutToMakeANameForMyselfHere," a nod to Tatum's line from the film that has since gone viral on social media.

Tatum, 44, previously spent more than 10 years trying to bring Gambit to the screen. Now, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine, that dream finally came to fruition.

“Gambit is a guy Chan was born to play,” Reynolds wrote on Instagram Aug. 5, alongside a slideshow of photos featuring Tatum working on Deadpool & Wolverine. “His story is similar to my road on Deadpool — in that Chan spent a decade trying to put the most comic-accurate version of Gambit on the big screen.”

“Remy LeBeau is grafted to his soul and needs to come out and deal,” Reynolds continued. “Some characters can only exist with a one in a billion pairing and this is it. Gambit found his author in Chan. He’s one of the coolest, smartest characters in Comics and still largely unexplored.”

“I want more — and from what I saw in theaters, you do too,” Reynolds added, before going on to praise Tatum’s work ethic. In the end, Reynolds said he “couldn’t be more thrilled” to see Tatum finally bring the card-throwing hero to life.

In the comments section of Reynolds' Aug. 5 post, Jennifer Garner — who reprised her Daredevil role of Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine — wrote, "I’m ready for a Gambit movie, sequel, three-quel. Buying tickets now, @channingtatum."

Tatum had been linked to Gambit since at least 2006, when he was considered to play the beloved ‘90s character in X-Men: The Last Stand.

The role was ultimately written out of the movie and Taylor Kitsch was cast as Gambit for X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), which also marked the first time Reynolds played Deadpool.

Tatum recently thanked Reynolds in an emotional Instagram post for helping him bring Gambit to life with his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.

"I thought I had lost Gambit forever," he wrote. "But he fought for me and Gambit. I will owe him probably forever. Cause I’m not sure how I could ever do something that would be equal to what this has meant to me. I love ya buddy."
