Deadpool and Wolverineis jam-packed with Easter eggs and cameos, but the one we were most shocked to see isGambit, played by Channing Tatum- a role over 10 years in the making. The star has finally broken his silence on his surprise pop-up in an emotional social media post, and it’s all thanks to Ryan Reynolds.
The star then went on to detail how he saw the first Deadpool movie at SDCC15 and immediately ran backstage to congratulate Reynolds. “Since then I can say that there is almost no one that has had my back in this industry more than Ryan.” From then on, it sounds like Reynolds helped Tatum get Gambit on screen. “I thought I had lost Gambit forever,” said Tatum. “But he fought for me and Gambit. I will owe him probably forever.” See Tatum’s full post below.

Tatum’s Gambit AKA Remy Labeau holds one of the more lengthyDeadpool and Wolverine cameos, which we are certain pleased some Marvel fans, as our writer says in ourDeadpool and Wolverine review: “There are surprise appearances here that will delight even the most avid followers.”
But it sounds like Tatum doesn’t hold any grudges, as he posted, “All things happen for a reason. I’m so grateful to be in this movie. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion. And just pure badass joy. I was literally screaming in the theater." Now, all that’s left to be asked is, will Gambit appear in apossible Deadpool 4 movie? Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 10 years this time.
