Back in January X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner expressed an interest in casting Channing Tatum as Gambit in a proposed standalone movie, then in April the 21 Jump Street star said that he’d love to play the character. And now it seems a deal has been done, with Donner confirming the news last night.

“It is Channing” Donner told TotalFilm on the X-Men: Days of Future Past red carpet in London. “He’s a rogue, Channing, he’s a rascal, like Remy LaBeau, and he can handle the action, we all know that.”

Donner added that the fact he’s a southerner and knows that world makes him the perfect person to play the part.

So do you think Tatum is a good fit to play the Ragin’ Cajun? Let us know in the comments below, and check out the full interview, in which Donner also says how much X-Force fascinates her, and how she wants to make a gritty film version of the property.
