Welcome to the Legion!

Despite rumors saying that Channing Tatum was pulling out of the upcoming Gambit movie that he was also producing, it looks like our boy is going Cajun. According to THRTatum has signed on to play the lead role in the upcoming Fox X-Men spinoff film. The issue with the Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street star was reportedly to do with how many movies Tatum would appear in. No news on how often we’re going to see Remy LeBeau, but at least this one is happening.

Strangely, fans seem to be split about the popularity of this character. Fans of the 90s animated series like me seem to be largely excited about it. How do you feel about the film and the casting? Let us know in the comments.
