After dressing as Rogue for Halloween 2022, Keke Palmer is able to give followers what they need by portraying the long-lasting X-Men character on the large display. And she needs to do it with Channing Tatum, who was presupposed to play Rogue’s on-again/off-again lover Gambit in a standalone film earlier than the Disney merger with twenty first Century Fox in 2019.
“I believe that me and Channing Tatum will be perfect together, honey,” Keke, 29, informed HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY when discussing her partnership with Doritos for its Big “Dip” Campaign about its new line of Doritos-flavored dips and Big Dip Energy giveaway.
“I’m ready for him to be my on-screen husband,” the Nope actress added about Channing, 42. “Or boyfriend, whatever. We don’t even have to have any labels. I’m ready for it.”
Keke defined that Channing “doesn’t take himself too seriously,” however he’s additionally “quite endearing as a performer.” Keke thinks that mixture makes Channing the proper Gambit to her Rogue when the X-Men (ultimately) enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“It’s not like he doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and he’s like a jerk off,” Keke stated. “It’s like, he doesn’t take himself too seriously, and it’s like, ‘oh, my gosh, I want to see you win.’ And so I think that coupled with my kind of like, ‘oh, you know, I don’t take myself too seriously. But hey, I’m gonna give it my best shot,’ I think together, we could be, like, fab. I love the casting already.”
While Anna Paquin notably performed Rogue in Fox’s X-Men movies, Channing by no means received the possibility to play Gambit on the large display. He talked about feeling “traumatized” after the Gambit film was scrapped in an interview with Variety in Feb. 2022.
“I shut off my Marvel machine. I haven’t been able to see any of the movies,” Channing admitted. “I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him.” But Channing did verify that he’d play Gambit if given the possibility. “I would love to play Gambit. I don’t think we [him and his longtime producer partner Reid Carolin] should direct it. I think that was hubris on our part,” he stated.
