Upcoming X-Men spin-off film "Gambit" gets a release date!

Channing Tatum has been tied to the upcoming "Gambit" film for some time but it appears that this X-Men film is officially happening and now officially has a release date! Tatum tweeted yesterday the date which has excited fans everywhere. (Even if they may still be wary of the film itself, it's still great to have a date.) The Gambit film is set to be released on October 7, 2016.

Could Tatum show up as Gambit in a small role in the film X-Men: Apocalypse considering it comes out in May of 2016? Maybe even a post credit scene? This could be a good lead in to his solo film. The last time that we saw Gambit, aka Remy LeBeau, on the big screen was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine being played by actor Taylor Kitsch. It may not have been the greatest performance but it was still cool to see the cajun on the big screen. Will Channing Tatum step into the role and do it justice or will fans be out of luck once again?
