Deadpool 3: Explosive Rumors Suggest an Epic Cameo That Will Delight Fans!

Reports indicate that Deadpool 3 will introduce a fan-favorite Marvel character, adding to the excitement surrounding the casting announcements for the film. Following the conclusion of Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine in the acclaimed movie Logan, it was believed that the actor had retired from the role. However, it has now been revealed that Jackman will return to play Wolverine in Deadpool 3.

In addition to a recent rumor about the cast of Deadpool 3, the film has already fulfilled fans' desires. However, the rumor mill continues to generate buzz and has now revealed the inclusion of another beloved mutant character. As per @mytimetoshine1 on Instagram, Channing Tatum is said to make an appearance as Gambit in Deadpool 3. Gambit, a prominent figure in X-Men: The Animated Series, was known for his enigmatic past and complex relationship with Rogue, another iconic character.

If this rumor holds true, it would mark the first live-action portrayal of Gambit in a feature film in over a decade. Previously, Gambit was portrayed by Taylor Kitsch in the controversial X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Criticized for various reasons, including the introduction of Wade Wilson into the X-Men universe, this film's failure inspired Ryan Reynolds to properly portray Wade Wilson, ultimately leading to the success of the current Deadpool franchise.

The wasted potential of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a tragedy, and one of its highlights was Kitsch's portrayal of Gambit. However, if Kitsch is no longer suitable for the role, Tatum is a good option to consider. Tatum has established himself as a comedic actor in films like Magic Mike, making him a perfect fit for the tone of Deadpool. His recent film, The Lost City, showcased his talent for comic timing and action sequences, which are essential for a Marvel film. It's not the first time Tatum's name has been mentioned in relation to playing the mutant, as he was originally cast in the ill-fated Gambit film. However, the potential issue with using Gambit for a cameo goes beyond the casting of Tatum.

Regardless of who plays Gambit in the upcoming film, Deadpool's history with cameos is not easily forgotten. In Deadpool 2, fans were excited to see the X-Force team onscreen, only for them to be quickly killed off. Additionally, Zazie Beetz will not reprise her character, despite her confidence in Domino returning in another Deadpool film. Bringing back Wolverine may please fans, but it begs the question: at what cost? Introducing Gambit after years of anticipation, only to write him off, would be a disrespect. For Gambit's entrance into the MCU, he deserves proper respect and not just a throwaway cameo.

Deadpool 3 is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
