Donner: " It is Channing, yes. Well you know he's a rogue, Channing. He's a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau, and he can handle the action, we all know that. He's got a really good heart, because I know him personally, I did a movie with him. So I think he'll be great, he'll be great for Gambit, and he's a southerner too, he's not from New Orleans but he is a southerner and he understands that world, and you know Gambit loves New Orleans."
While she doesn't make any comment about 2016's X-men: Apocalypse, Bryan Singer has previously stated he wants to bring Gambit aka Remy Lebeau into the film, along with a new version of Nightcrawler. So it's not far fetched to think he'll pop up for a cameo before heading off into a Gambit solo film, which Donner also seems to be alluding to.
I know other X-men fans will disagree with me on this, but I'm really anxious to see what Tatum can do. More than that I'm eager to see exactly how they present him to even look like Gambit, because right now Tatum couldn't be more different than the suave, long-haired, stealthy cajun thief. Then again, maybe I'm wrong because he's pulling off some wildly acrobatic stunts in Jupiter Ascending.
