[taken from the above article]...Sadly, when asked if his mutant character Gambit would appear in Bryan Singer’s upcoming
X-Men: Apocalypse, the answer was not so uplifting.
“No ma’am, or sir. I definitely will not,” Tatum wrote of appearing as the character before his
Gambit solo film is released on October 7, 2016.
He also commented about the film in general, alluding to its newfound director
Rupert Wyatt (
Rise of the Planet of the Apes).
“We finally found someone that I really do believe wants to make Gambit,” Tatum said of Wyatt.
“It will be the second standalone character. And I just really think because Gambit is not the most popular or the biggest hero, I think there’s a really unique opportunity. Marvel’s done a lot of great movies that have made a ridiculous amount of money, and it’s always good to figure how to change the form.”
