Deadpool & Wolverine Director Breaks Down Channing Tatums Meme-Worthy Gambit Performance

Fans were absolutely shocked when Channing Tatum appeared on-screen as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. The cameo was by far one the most shocking reveals in the film, but the surprises didn’t stop there, as fans were even more surprised (and a little confused) when Tatum began speaking as the character. Gambit has only made one live-action appearance on the big screen (in X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and that version didn’t have the character’s signature Cajun accent from the beloved 90s animated series. However, Tatum was determined to get the voice right, and director Shawn Levy has now revealed the work that went into Gambit’s distinctive voice.
