As confirmed in Marvel's huge Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement, Channing Tatum will be returning to the MCU as Gambit, which, although this has left fans excited, many are concerned over how the hero will be presented in the upcoming movie.
In response to a Reddit chain sharing the news of Tatum’s casting titled "Looks Like He DID Make A Name For Himself, Afterall!" one fan responded, "We'll see – I think it worked for Deadpool. I'm not convinced it'll work for something like this and hope Gambit doesn't just get reduced to a comedy character with a goofy accent."
The fan is referring to last year’s smash hit Deadpool and Wolverine, where Gambit enters the scene in slow motion, flinging his cards around. There's no denying that Gambit’s appearance provided some comic relief, but fans are hoping he takes on a more serious role in Avengers: Doomsday, as one stated, "I really hope they update the Gambit look and accent... let's give it a once over for the more serious Avengers movies."
