Makers of 'Avengers Doomsday' say Channing Tatum's character Gambit will be a 'standout'

    Los Angeles, Nov 14 (PTI) The makers of "Avengers: Doomsday" said Channing Tatum's character Gambit will be a "standout" in the film.

    Tatum essayed the role of Gambit in "Deadpool & Wolverine", which released in 2024 and also actors starred Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, among others. He featured in a cameo role in the film.

    Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, went on to share the details about the character in an interview with Empire magazine. He called Gambit a "fully-rounded character".

    "He’s a standout," Feige said. “It is fun to see Gambit be as charismatic as he was in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ and yet in ‘Doomsday’ it’s not all for laughs. He’s a fully-rounded character," he added.

    The film features Robert Downey Jr alongside Steve Rogers, Ian McKellen, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. It is set to release in theatres on December 18 and is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the duo known for "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame", among others.

    In "Avengers: Doomsday", heroes from distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they've ever encountered.

     The film will release in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.

     It is produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito and Jonathan Schwartz and also features actors Simu Liu, Tim Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Kelsey Grammer, Kathryn Newton, Alan Cumming, Hannah John-Kamen, Rebecca Romijn, Mabel Cadena, and Tenoch Huerta Medias, among others.
