Channing Tatum became an unexpected thief on stage when he appeared as Gambit in last year's Deadpool & Wolverine. The actor made a surprise look like a fan-older Kayun Mutant and not disappointed. He is now ready to repeat the role in the next year "Avengers: Doomsday" that shoots (and written) as we speak. But getting Tatum to agree to sign the film, came with great condition: he had to be good with his daughter.

In a deep diving interview with Diversity Highly focused on his new film "Roofman", Tatum was naturally asked about playing Gambit in "Doomsday", which make up "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" by directors OEO and Anthony Rousseau. But while the interview took place in the United States, the "Doomsday" was shot in the UK, which was the first much attention to Tatum.

"My daughter is here. Marvel will never shoot anywhere here. The films are never filmed in America," Tatum said. Indeed, Marvel Studios and most of Hollywood use tax incentives from other countries to help compensate product costs. Despite threats from the Trump administration to put tariffs on movies made outside the United StatesIt remains a key component of the industry. This means that actors living states should leave their home for months when they shoot something big like the movie "Avengers".

So, because it meant leaving her for a longer period of time, Tatum asked his daughter forever if he should play Gambit in "Doomsday" before signing. "I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the" avengers "because I had to disappear, but I was like - it's good. She is now going to high school, "he noted Tatum. He also recalled the question that he asked for eternally to help the solid things:

"Did Dad had to go to work? Or had to go to work? Those are two different sentences."

When the cast "Doomsday" was announced, There were many stars of Marvel absent. The Tatum's gambit was not, and that's not insignificant. At the end of the day, after talking to things with his daughter, Tatum decided that this was a "going to work" situation instead of having to go to work. Mathematics check.

There are still questions about How Tatum's Heavy Accented Gambit can work in something more serious as a "doomsday". We're talking about Robert Downey Runior to take on the role of Doctor Doom in a large -scale blockbuster with a galaxy -sized share. But Tatum made it clear that the Rousseau brothers understood that, saying the directors "want things to be funny, but they don't want to go full" Deadpool ". They want to keep the drama and keep it firm.

Tatum was trying to take out a movie "Gambit" off the field for years As part of the F-Men movie franchise before Disney bought Fox in 2019. Hence, finally playing the superhero is a little white whale for it. The actor did not care too much of himself with Marvel's Chinese universe, even with the franchise to hit something recently (though Deadpool & Wolverine was a huge mark). As he explained, he is purely focused on Gambit:

"My only focus was Gambit. He loves women, smokes, he drinks. He's not just a man to preserve the world-they need them, but we need contrast."

"Avengers: Doomsday" hits theaters on December 18, 2026.
