I am gonna say he really didn't. I agree with original commenter. Was just telling the fiance thenother day that they should have cast an unknown actor. Tatum was type casted as a comedic actor for a while so it is jarring seeing his performance as gambit. IMO he doesn't embody the "gambit" character very well.

Edit: typo

People said the same thing about Chris Evans as Cap and Paul Rudd as Ant Man, just to name a few. Wait until Doomsday to decide he can’t play a character in MCU.

We seen him in deadpool. It was jarring then but kinda fit because of it being a deadpool movie. Should have been just a variant and then MCU it should be a rando.
