CHANNING TATUM CAST AS GAMBIT

The producer of X-Men, Lauren Shuler Donner, confirmed to Total Film that Channing Tatum has been cast as Gambit in X-Men and maybe a potential spin off. So far Wolverine has been very successful with spin off films, Wolverine: Origins and The Wolverine along with another two in production reported shooting back to back. Other spin offs in the works that have been currently surfacing online are Mystique and Deadpool.

X-MEN: MYSTIQUE TO GET A SPIN OFF?

Entertainment Weekly reported earlier this week that the producers behind the X-MEN franchise are considering the possibility of adding spin offs to the X-MEN universe with Mystique being thrown into the equation, due to how the individual films leading up to The Avengers and even afterwards have become successful at the box office and even among the fans.

“There was a regime [at the studio] that didn’t see the worth in [spin-offs], and the current people who run Fox understand, embrace it, and we’re going to do right by it,” says producer Lauren Shuler Donner, who’s produced all of the X-Men films. “I’d like to do Gambit. I’d like to do Deadpool. We’ll see. There’s a lot of really great characters.”

What do you think of this news? Excited for the possibility of getting Mystique, Gambit or even Deadpool spin offs just like Wolverine or should they just simply leave it alone? Do you think they'll recast Mystique because of Jennifer Lawrence's hectic schedule with multiple franchises?
