The Channing Tatum Mega-Role Checklist
When it comes to making movies, Channing Tatum is truly a jack of all trades, a Renaissance Man, if you will. Essentially, the guy is in everything and no one is ever mad about it because Channing Tatum is quite possibly the world's most charming human who gets away with wearing sweatpants in public... in Los Angeles. His next big project will round out his complete Hollywood takeover by FINALLY putting him in a role he has shockingly not yet played: a comic book superhero. Channing Tatum will be Gambit in 2016's X-Men spin-off Gambit. The announcement made huge waves because it will the the third X-Men film being released in 2016 along with X-Men: Apocalypse and Deadpool. No pressure, Chan, no presh.
If there's anyone who can handle the mutant powers of controlling energy with his touch it's Tatum IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Gambit is also known for his, shall we say, prowess with the lady folk, so it's no surprise Marvel chose the King of Pelvic Thrusting and Sexy Winking. With Gambit soon to be under his belt, Channing Tatum will have nearly completed the ultimate Hollywood Genre checklist.
