Source: The hate on Channing Tatum as Gambit

Don’t mean to trigger the Gambit fans here. But help me understand.. Why all the hate on Channing Tatum as Gambit? I’m not a Channing Tatum fan, but D&W was meant to be comedic and funny, hence Tatum’s accent may have been exaggerated and made meant to be hilarious.

And heck, Hugh Jackman Wolverine isn’t even comic accurate. (6’2” vs 5’3”, and body type) i believe ppl love Hugh as Wolverine because of the nostalgia factor, but let’s face it, there may be more potential actors who would portray Wolverine even more accurately.

But Tatum as Gambit, people should give the man a chance. Yeah he looks like a friggin bouncer but if he really was serious about his role, who knows he may get into a shredding program? There’s also surgery lol.

We’ve yet to see him on an upcoming XMen movie in the MCU in the future. Hope y’all stay safe and have a good long weekend ✌🏻

I haven't seen any hate. He got a role he wanted forever and fans loved it.
