EXCLUSIVE: GAMBIT IS BEING CAST FOR THE MCU.

X-Men casting is heating up, and it looks like someone is about to take on the mantle of Gambit. I can exclusively confirm that a new actor will be stepping into the role for the MCU. Drew Starkey is one of the names being floated around, but that’s just a rumor at this point, nothing confirmed. There’s also talk that it could end up being a relative unknown.

Channing Tatum is still the Gambit we know for now, he’s set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. It’s said that Marvel wants to recast so the character sits closer in age to Inde Navarrette’s Rogue.
