Deadpool & Wolverine is the latest release from the MCU and has become a box office hit, in part due to the return of some beloved live-action Marvel characters. We’ve seen Snipes’ Blade, Garner’s Elektra, and Evans’ Human Torch make a comeback, but the film also offered a chance for one character who was meant to have his own movie almost 20 years ago.
If you’ve been keeping up with Channing Tatum or the movie’s marketing, you know that Gambit appears in a smaller role. While it might not seem like a big deal at first, it holds significant weight when you consider the backstory and the long wait for Tatum to finally portray him.
Tatum and Gambit share a long history. The actor and his longtime friend and producer, Reid Carolin, had an idea for a Gambit movie that they pitched to 21st Century Fox.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the latest release from the MCU, and it has become a box office success, partly because it features some live-action Marvel characters from the past. We’ve seen Snipes’ Blade, Garner’s Elektra, and Evans’ Human Torch return, but the film also gave a chance for one character who was supposed to have his own movie almost 20 years ago.
If you’ve been following Channing Tatum or the movie’s promotion, you know that Gambit has a smaller role in the film. This might not seem like a big deal at first, but it’s significant when you consider the backstory and how long it took for Tatum to finally play him.
Tatum and Gambit have a long history together. The actor and his longtime friend and producer, Reid Carolin, had an idea for a Gambit movie that they wanted to pitch to 21st Century Fox.

“Blink Twice” (Amazon MGM), actress Zoë Kravitz’s feature directorial debut with Channing Tatum as a tech billionaire who invites a cocktail waitress to his private island, was a modest performer in theaters last month. Its opening weekend only reached #4 at the box office, earning $7 million, with the full run amounting to $22 million.
Flash forward a few weeks, and it is #1 for its debut week in PVOD. It jumped to the top even as three other new releases (all weaker performers) also made at least one of the two top 10 lists below.
Netflix continues to find appeal for its recent originals, with four films in its top five. These though were trumped by “The Garfield Movie,” the latest Sony release to transition to the streamer four months after release.

“Blink Twice” is a movie directed by Zöe Kravitz starring Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Adria Arjona, Christian Slater and Geena Davis.
“Blink Twice” emerges as one of those rare cinematic gems that deftly blends multiple genres to ultimately immerse us in the thrilling labyrinth of a genre we can’t help but adore—the thriller. This film cunningly toys with our expectations, leading us down paths of romance, suspense, and even horror, only to reveal itself as a sharp satire with compelling social undertones. The performances are solid, with Channing Tatum delivering an unexpectedly profound portrayal, diverging from his typical roles to embrace the gravitas required for this more serious thriller.

We're still waiting on Disney to announce Deadpool & Wolverine's home entertainment release (we're hearing October is likely for a Digital launch) and the movie just hit another huge box office benchmark.
With over $622 million domestically, the R-Rated Marvel Studios threequel will pass The Avengers today to become the fifth highest-grossing comic book movie ever.
It will then sit behind Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Avengers: Endgame at #1.
This is an incredible achievement for Deadpool & Wolverine and proof that last year's talk of "superhero fatigue" was both far too premature and wishful thinking on the part of the genre's biggest detractors.
In other box office news, Deadline reports that the first animated Transformers movie in close to four decades, Transformers One, grossed an impressive $3.36 million during Thursday previews. That's better than Bumblebee's $2.15 million in 2018 but less than the $8.8 million made by Transformers: Rise of the Beasts last year.

Once the shaking stopped and it’s realized this was not the third Los Angeles earthquake in as many weeks, the setup of Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut Blink Twice is doled out in impressively economical fashion: Rent is due for Frida (Naomie Ackie) and Jess (Alia Shawkat). Rather than pay up and keep the wheels spinning in their going-nowhere-fast lives, Frida has a plan: retrieving a hidden wad of bills, she purchases gowns so she and Jess can crash a fancy gala after their waitress shifts end.

Channing Tatum, a natural athlete who found that college was not to his liking, moved to Tampa in his teens to work construction and found an outside gig as a male stripper at night. To Tatum’s credit, he never denied his stripping gig but instead turned it into artistic gold (years after he became an actor) with a hit franchise you may have heard about: “Magic Mike” (2012), “Magic Mike Xxl” (2015) and “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” (2023).
After being discovered by a talent scout, Tatum started his career with small movie parts until he snagged the lead in “Step Up,” (2006), a successful dance/romance mash-up. Tatum’s looks and athleticism, as well as his dancing and acting skills attracted casting directors, who began to place him in bigger and bigger films.

Not Dwayne Johnson, I Want This 1 Celeb in Transformers-gi Joe Movie after its Insane Release Update
I am still shocked by the news that my favorite childhood franchises, G.I Joe and Transformers are finally collaborating. The Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie alluded to them being from a shared universe. Then, Paramount confirmed that they were working on a crossover film and I couldn’t be happier.
As an avid fan of both franchises, I have always imagined what it would be like for Cybertronians to team up with elite agents of G.I Joe. With Derek Connelly from Jurassic Park as the writer now, I am sure this movie will end up as an epic success. However, the inclusion of one celebrity would be the cherry on the cake, and it’s not The Rock but Michael Bay.

Adria Arjona is set to star in Onslaught, the next film from You’re Next and Godzilla X Kong director Adam Wingard, said to be a ‘gonzo action thriller’.
Having starred in two well-received thrillers over the past year – that’d be Blink Twice and Hit Man – Adria Arjona’s reportedly set to appear in another one, this time from director Adam Wingard.
Most recently, Wingard’s been best known in multiplexes for his expensive monster flicks – 2021’s Godzilla Vs Kong and 2024’s Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. For his next film, it’s said that the filmmaker’s returning to the smaller-scale thrillers of his earlier career, most notably 2011’s You’re Next and 2014’s The Guest. As reported in May, it’s called Onslaught, and its script, co-written by Wingard and Simon Barrett, is described as a ‘gonzo action thriller’ by The Hollywood Reporter.

With the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, many legacy characters from various Marvel properties have returned to the big screen, and some have even wrapped up their original storylines. While the future looks promising for characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, others, such as Channing Tatum’s Gambit, are still awaiting potential projects. Despite this, there are numerous characters that fans were eager to see but never made it to the movies.
One notable example is Halle Berry, who portrayed Storm for a decade, beginning with X-Men in 2000 and concluding with X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014.

With the release of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ plenty of legacy characters from other Marvel properties made their return to the big screen, and some of them even concluded their original storylines. For some, like Deadpool & Wolverine the future is clear, while some characters like Channing Tatum’s Gambit are awaiting potential projects, still, there are plenty of characters that never made it to the movie that fans were excited to see.
Halle Berry, who played Storm for 10 years starting with ‘X-Men’ released in 2000 and ending with her final appearance in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ released in 2014, was one of those characters.
Berry later explained that she was all for making a cameo appearance, and confirmed as much to Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively but it seems that Reynolds never got in contact with her, which some fans speculated is due to Wesley Snipes’ return as Blade.

In 2009, Activision made X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a video game adaptation that was better than the movie itself. The game is still considered one of the most underrated gems in Marvel’s video game lineup. Meanwhile, Channing Tatum’s dream of playing Gambit recently found new life with his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Now, a spinoff game from X-Men Origins could be perfect for Tatum’s next appearance as the iconic mutant. Especially with the hype for Deadpool and Wolverine, a Gambit game would be an easy win.

Deadpool & Wolverine celebrated 20th Century Fox's hit-or-miss Marvel Universe and did so without many of the franchise's original actors. While the Void was packed full of familiar characters, they were largely played by stunt performers.
That saved the threequel's budget from spiralling out of control and gave those actors the chance to shine as members of Cassandra Nova's mutant army.
Today, we have a closer look at Toad and The Blob courtesy of concept artist Jonay Bacallado.
"Toad is a character we have seen in various X-Men movies, including the first ever X-Men movie back in 2000," he explains. "For this version, costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo wanted to introduce a color palette inspired by the Asian giant toad colours. We suggested also ideas for the skin texture mimicking a real toad skin."
Talking about Blob, Bacallado adds, "Blob is one of the mutants who lived in the Void...

When you think of actors getting trapped in unfair contracts, your mind probably goes to the era of Old Hollywood and the studio system, when stars worked for one studio and one studio only, sometimes making as many as five films a year for their corporate bosses. This system started falling apart in 1948 due to a Supreme Court case that led to the Paramount Decrees, a group of antitrust laws that broke up the studios' Hollywood monopoly.
Though the Paramount Decrees ended in 2020, the landmark Supreme Court ruling forever changed how Hollywood operated. Of course, actors still sign contracts with studios that limit their ability to choose which projects they take on. Hollywood is a business above all else, and the bosses want to make as much money off their actors as they possibly can. As such, lawsuits between actors and studios are more common than you might think, revealing...

Drew Barrymore is lifting the lid on her past and sharing certain aspects of it that she wasn’t particularly proud of. Posing for Playboy, not very proud. Being an ex-alcoholic? A whole new level of shame.
Drew Barrymore – Wishes She Didn’t Drink So Much During Her Younger Years
Drew Barrymore hasn’t had a drink in five long years, so it may be hard to believe that at some point in her life, she was a “blackout drinker.”
The actress and talkshow host was moved to reflect on her past in this week’s episode of her talk show after watching Zoë Kravitz‘s ‘Blink Twice.’
“There’s a lot about substances in the film. I was shocked to realize that part of my journey that I was looking to find, the trauma inside of me and what is it about, a big part of it was I...

We went into Deadpool & Wolverine expecting the movie to close the door on the Fox-verse. Instead, it celebrated Earth-10005 and set the stage for that world to continue to flourish alongside Earth-616/the Sacred Timeline.
While we'd hoped for cameos, the threequel upped the ante by taking us into the Void before giving Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and X-23 (Dafne Keen) a second chance. It felt really special but has got us thinking...which other Earth-10005 heroes and villains deserve a second chance in the MCU?
This could be in an upcoming Multiverse Saga project (which seems most likely) or even in the softly rebooted MCU which is rumoured to be the plan for this shared world post-Avengers: Secret Wars. Hopefully, the names before surprise you!

Halle Berry Hopes To Make Storm Comeback in Future MCU Films - Main Image
Despite Storm's absence in Deadpool & Wolverine, it seems Halle Berry's Storm still has the chance to make her comeback as Ororo Munroe in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as teased by the Academy Award-winning actress.
Halle Berry Teases Potential Storm Comeback in the MCU
While Halle Berry didn't get the chance to reprise her role as the X-Men's Storm in the Deadpool threequel, the Never Let Go star has been quite vocal in expressing her interest in joining the MCU franchise in some other way.
In this case, since the X-Men have officially made their existence known in the comic book franchise, Storm might eventually get her earned spotlight in the future.

“It’s amazing what family is willing to do for each other.”
Director Dito Montiel made a name for himself with a stellar debut in the film world by adapting his memoir, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,” ushering Channing Tatum into movie stardom. The film explored estranged family dynamics and what one is willing to do to avoid the seduction of violence. It propelled Montiel into the stratosphere of indie cult followings, aided by the director’s keen sense for flashbacks and comedy to illustrate difficult relationships.
It seems that Montiel’s taste hasn’t changed much since his early 2000s beginnings. The filmmaker continues his signature outlook on life with the new crime comedy “Riff Raff,” which debuts this week at the Toronto International Film Festival. Montiel takes his audience on a wild ride, focusing on a Maine family that appears idyllic from the outside. However, their inner struggles,...

After a month of the same three or four movies dominating the box office, September kicked off with a hit sequel coming out 36 years after an earlier installment. Read on for the weekend box office report.
Although not every legacy sequel (as they’re now called) has done well, enough of them have been blockbuster hits that Warner Bros’ decision to reunite filmmaker Tim Burton with Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” proved to be a genius move. Burton also brought along his “Wednesday” star, Jenna Ortega, as well as Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci. After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, the sequel racked up mostly positive reviews with 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Warner Bros. gave it an ultra-wide release into 4,575 theaters, one of the top 10 widest domestic releases ever.
It ended up making $13 million in Thursday previews (including a few Wednesday screenings) and $41.5 million on Friday,...

Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey might have had a fiery on-screen romance, but off-screen, she seemed to have a crystal ball hidden somewhere. Almost three decades ago, Bullock made a prediction about McConaughey that feels eerily spot-on today. While many would argue McConaughey’s rise to fame was inevitable, Bullock seemed to know something the rest of us didn’t.

Channing Tatum has always been known as a fun actor with a bit of charisma and amazing dance moves. But only a few know how far he is willing to go to secure a role in a Quentin Tarantino film. Tatum’s journey of working with the brilliant director made him take some unconventional steps.

This post contains spoilers for "Blink Twice."
I did not have particularly high expectations for Zoë Kravitz's "Blink Twice," but the longtime actress instantly proved herself as a force to be reckoned with behind the camera with her excellent new thriller. The movie's themes and messages are not subtle (check out our review here), but when a film is this stylish, I find it easy to forgive a bit of bluntness in the storytelling. And despite the movie's candy-colored production design and gorgeous island setting, things get pretty gnarly in paradise. The trigger warning in front of "Blink Twice" may have sparked a controversy, but the things that happen to the women in this movie are truly nightmarish — and that's part of the reason the movie's conclusion is so damn cathartic.

Both Channing Tatum and fans have been hoping for a solo Gambit movie, but considering Gambit’s comic book storyline, we’ve come up with an alternative idea that might be even more exciting than a standalone Gambit film starring Tatum.
In case you missed it, Channing Tatum has been advocating for his own Gambit movie ever since Deadpool & Wolverine premiered. He recently shared the following:

Demi Moore doesn’t really want more “Ghost.”
The actress told Variety that after it was announced in 2023 that Channing Tatum was set to produce a remake of the Oscar-winning 1990 film, she had her own doubts.
“There are some films better left alone,” Moore said. “But it depends on what the take is. […] Channing is incredibly intelligent and talented — who knows what he would bring to it if it happened.”
Moore starred alongside Patrick Swayze in the acclaimed romance-drama that centered on a widow (Moore) who is visited by the spirit of her husband (Swayze) after he is murdered. Whoopi Goldberg won the Academy Award for playing a psychic who helps solve the case. “Ghost” earned five Academy Award nominations, garnering another win for Best Original Screenplay.
“The success of ‘Ghost’ is really about alchemy,” “The Substance” star Moore said. “Think about Whoopi, who anchored the comedy in a magical way.
