<p>Well, the big news is that he will be played by Channing Tatum :)</p>
<p>It all started like this:</p>

<p>Ok, on Tuesday, May 13, Lauren Shuler Donner (the X-Men producer) told <a href="http://www.totalfilm.com/news/lauren-shuler-donner-confirms-channing-tatum-gambit-casting">Total Film</a>, that the Gambit character in the X-Men movie that will follow this year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, will be played by Tatum.</p>
<p>Here is what she said about him:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;He&#8217;s a rogue….he’s a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>And&#8230;</p>

<p><em>&#8220;He can handle the action. We all know that. He&#8217;s got a really good heart.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>But the question is…</p>
<h2>Who is Gambit as a comic character?</h2>
<p>Here is what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambit_(comics)" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> has to say about him:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Gambit is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He has held membership in the team known as the X-Men.</em></p>

<p><em>A mutant, Gambit can mentally create, control and manipulate pure kinetic energy to his every whim and desire. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in card-throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a bō.</em></p>
<p><em>Few X-Men trusted Gambit, who was originally a professional thief, when he first joined the group. There was consistently a source of stress between him and his on-again, off-again love interest Rogue.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Now, check out the interview with Lauren Shuler Donner:</p>

<h2>The fans of X-Man are not to excited…</h2>
<p>As I read through the comments, I see one name comes up as a more preferred actor.</p>
<p>That name is Taylor Kitsch.</p>

<h2>Who do YOU choose?</h2>
<p>Channing or Taylor?</p>
