Channing Tatum is officially stepping back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Gambit, the charismatic Cajun mutant from the X-Men, in Avengers: Doomsday, slated for release on May 1, 2026. The 44-year-old actor, who first portrayed the card-slinging Remy LeBeau in Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024—a film that raked in over 1.3 billion dollars globally—now joins a powerhouse cast for this Russo brothers-directed epic. Announced on March 26, 2025, during a Marvel event, Tatum’s return has fans buzzing, especially as it marks a key step in fully integrating the X-Men into the MCU following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox. Known for roles in Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street, Tatum brings his signature charm and physical prowess to Gambit, setting the stage for a multiversal showdown against Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., in a film poised to redefine superhero cinema.
Tatum’s role in Avengers: Doomsday elevates Gambit from a long-overlooked character to a central figure in the MCU’s Phase 6. After a fleeting but memorable debut in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he showcased his Cajun accent and kinetic-charged cards, the mutant now gets a bigger spotlight alongside X-Men veterans like James Marsden as Cyclops, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Ian McKellen as Magneto. The movie, following Fantastic Four: First Steps in July 2025 and leading into Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, boasts over 20 confirmed actors, blending the Fox legacy—responsible for over 6 billion dollars in box office earnings—with the MCU’s established heroes. With a budget likely exceeding 300 million dollars, mirroring blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame, which grossed 2.79 billion, Doomsday aims to be a cinematic juggernaut in May 2026.
Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine further bolsters the X-Men presence, while Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Anthony Mackie as Captain America anchor the Avengers. Gambit’s unique abilities and roguish flair suggest Marvel is banking on expanding the mutants’ role, potentially delving into multiversal incursions—reality collisions—that have driven the Multiverse Saga since Loki debuted in 2021. Tatum’s confirmation has reignited excitement for a character fans have championed for years, promising a dynamic addition to a film that could outshine its predecessors in scope and spectacle.
Gambit steps into the spotlight after years on the sidelines
Channing Tatum breathes new life into Gambit, a fan-favorite X-Men character created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990. Known in the comics for his kinetic energy powers—turning playing cards into deadly explosives—and his slick thieving skills, Remy LeBeau finally gets his due in Avengers: Doomsday. His brief appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, marked by a post-credits tease, showcased his agility and charm, leaving audiences eager for more. The March 26, 2025, announcement of his return has sparked discussions about Gambit’s untapped potential, long overshadowed in Fox’s earlier films.
Before Deadpool & Wolverine, Tatum was attached to a standalone Gambit film for nearly a decade, with plans dating back to 2014. The project faced repeated delays and was ultimately shelved as Fox shifted focus, only to be revived after Disney’s acquisition. His 2024 cameo proved his dedication, and now, in May 2026, Tatum gets to flesh out Gambit in a major MCU event, joining forces with mutants and Avengers alike. This marks a turning point for a character who never got his moment in the Fox era.
Star-studded cast sets the stage
Channing Tatum’s Gambit is just one piece of a sprawling Avengers: Doomsday lineup. James Marsden returns as Cyclops, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, all icons from the Fox X-Men films that collectively earned over 6 billion dollars. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine adds heft to the mutant roster, while Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom faces off against MCU stalwarts like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and Anthony Mackie.
- Classic mutants: Gambit, Cyclops, Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, Mystique.
- Avengers core: Thor, Loki, Captain America, Ant-Man.
- Fresh faces: Shang-Chi, Yelena Belova, Fantastic Four.

Tatum channels Gambit’s comic book legacy
In the comics, Gambit stands out as a charming rogue with a complex past, tied to the Thieves’ Guild of New Orleans and a turbulent romance with Rogue. Channing Tatum, who has long expressed passion for the role, embodies Remy’s blend of charisma and physicality. His Deadpool & Wolverine debut highlighted the explosive cards and bo staff, staples of the character, which are expected to shine brighter in Avengers: Doomsday.
Tatum’s casting aligns perfectly with Gambit’s profile. Unlike Wolverine or Magneto, who dominated Fox’s X-Men films, Gambit remained a supporting figure—until now. His role in May 2026 could tap into his strategic cunning and roguish appeal, positioning him as a wild card in the fight against Doctor Doom alongside other mutants and Avengers.
Historic fusion set for May 2026
The X-Men’s integration into the MCU, sparked by Disney’s 2019 Fox acquisition, reaches a crescendo with Avengers: Doomsday. Before Channing Tatum’s Gambit return, mutants popped up in Ms. Marvel with Kamala Khan, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with Namor, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with Professor X. The May 2026 release, however, brings the X-Men front and center, with Gambit playing a pivotal role.
Boasting a cast spanning decades of Marvel cinema, the film features Tatum, Marsden, and Jackman carrying the X-Men torch, while Hemsworth and Downey Jr. uphold the MCU’s legacy. The Russo brothers, whose Infinity War and Endgame redefined blockbuster scale, helm this project, hinting at a box office haul that could eclipse Endgame’s 2.79 billion dollars.
Fantastic Four ties to Doctor Doom
Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, set to debut in Fantastic Four: First Steps in July 2025, join Avengers: Doomsday. Their presence is vital, given Doctor Doom’s comic book history as the Fantastic Four’s nemesis. In May 2026, they could bridge the Avengers and X-Men against Doom’s multiversal threat.
Reed Richards’ intellectual rivalry with Victor von Doom may anchor the plot. Channing Tatum’s Gambit could intersect with the Fantastic Four, offering a mutant’s perspective in a battle spanning teams. This trifecta—Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four—amps up the stakes for Doomsday.
Unexpected cast additions broaden the scope
Beyond Tatum, Lewis Pullman as Sentry from Thunderbolts* (May 2025) and Winston Duke as M’Baku from Black Panther join the fray, confirmed on March 26, 2025. These additions signal Marvel’s intent to weave a wide-ranging tapestry, pulling heroes from across the MCU into the fight against Doctor Doom.
Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker also feature, enriching the ensemble. Gambit’s inclusion alongside these characters could showcase his versatility, whether in combat or clever tactics, cementing his spot in May 2026.
Phase 6 timeline to May 2026
Marvel’s buildup to Avengers: Doomsday unfolds through Phase 6:
- May 2025: Thunderbolts* introduces Lewis Pullman as Sentry.
- July 2025: Fantastic Four: First Steps debuts Vanessa Kirby and crew.
- May 2026: Avengers: Doomsday unites X-Men and Avengers.
- July 2026: Spider-Man 4 with Tom Holland follows the aftermath.
This roadmap underscores Gambit’s rising prominence.
Gambit unleashed: what to anticipate
With Channing Tatum locked in, Gambit is poised for a breakout in Avengers: Doomsday. His kinetic cards and agility could dazzle in action sequences, while his Cajun wit adds flair. Teaming with Wolverine, Cyclops, and Magneto may revive X-Men dynamics, and pairing with Thor or Captain America could forge new alliances.
Set for May 2026, the film might cast Gambit as a strategist or unpredictable asset against Doctor Doom. His comic roots as a thief-turned-hero offer rich storytelling potential, giving Tatum a platform to cement Gambit in the MCU after years of anticipation.
