Channing Tatum Teases Gambit Return in 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Channing Tatum is returning as Gambit in the highly anticipated 'Avengers: Doomsday,' and perfecting the character's Cajun accent proved to be a delicate balancing act. For each scene, the actor had to decide how much of the Louisiana dialect to use, ensuring it felt authentic without overshadowing the story.

Tatum explained that Cajun culture is incredibly diverse, so he had to interpret how far to lean into the accent depending on the scene. He noted that comedic lines could be exaggerated with a stronger Cajun flavour, while dramatic or plot-heavy lines required clarity while maintaining the accent.

The actor emphasised that the tone of 'Avengers: Doomsday' differs from his previous portrayal in 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' which leaned heavily on comedy. While directors Anthony and Joe Russo still include humour, this instalment focuses more on dramatic storytelling.
