[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]e are all very excited to see what Gambit looks like when it hits theaters in October 2016. But it’s strange to see that Channing Tatum, who is set to play Remy LeBeau aka Gambit, is the only actor currently cast for the movie. 20th Century Fox will not keep it this way for long, but it will be interesting to see the other characters, including the main villain, and who will be portraying them.Â
With questions being raised on which characters will be in the movie, Showbiz 411 has an unofficial casting call for Gambit, listing off 14 total names that could be featured in the movie.
