Earlier this week, news outlets inferred that things weren't looking very good for actor Channing Tatum in his highly anticipated 'Gambit' feature, however a new report has now clarified that the issue has been put to rest.

Tatum has officially closed the deal to star as X-Men character Gambit in his upcoming feature film, along with reprising the character in subsequent Fox films.

While it was believed the actor was completely walking away from the role due to contract disagreements, it has been defined as a minor mis-negotiation.

"Sources say that Tatum and the studio did hit a sensitive spot in negotiations, but such back-and-forth is a normal part of top-level talent dealmaking. The Magic Mike star's participation hardly was in any real danger because the actor already had invested quite a bit in the superhero part. Tatum has been attached to the movie (loosely then officially) as both actor and producer for a few years and even made a surprise appearance at Fox's X-Men panel at Comic-Con in July," writes THR.

The issue has been stated to largely be related to the actor's involvement with further films involving the 'X-Men' franchise. Fox now sees Gambit as a lead character that will take the mantle of starring in his own features after Hugh Jackman has left the Wolverine role.

There is so far no word on further 'Gambit' sequels or reprisals in other movies in the recent future. He has also been announced to have no involvement in the upcoming 'X-Men: Apocalypse' film.

The film set to be directed by Rupert Wyatt is back on track and will be ready to premiere on October 7, 2016.
