He went on to explain that the only way to change this is to remove everything from the Merc with a Mouth. “You have to create a situation where he’s really the underdog and I don’t think I can do it again, so I think if he comes back it’ll be in someone else’s movie.. Channing Tatum [was] so excited to play Gambit and I would happily be the fifth banana in his or anyone else’s movie [film]”.
