Recent news has suggested that the X-Men character slated to be played by Channing Tatum, will not appear in the 'Apocalypse,' and instead in his own solo film a couple months later.

The actor broke the news in a recent AMA discussion on Reddit, while also speaking on his character and what the studio has planned. In response to the question he states, "No ma'am, or sir. I definitely will not."

He explains:

"We finally found someone that I really do believe wants to make Gambit. It will be the second standalone character. And I just really think because Gambit is not the most popular or the biggest hero, I think there's a really unique opportunity. Marvel's done a lot of great movies that have made a ridiculous amount of money, and it's always good to figure how to change the form.

"We've talked about it being a standalone, first, and actually trying to change the 'hero, superhero movie.' Because Gambit is not your typical hero. He's a thief. He walks on the gray. I'm hoping we can change it a little bit, and then ultimately feather into the other ones."

This will make the third X-Men character to get his own solo film after Deadpool. Tatum has gone to say in a previous interview that he plans to change the formula to superhero movies.

'Gambit' arrives in theaters October 7, 2016 under the direction of 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' director Rupert Wyatt.
