THE GAMBIT CAST WOULD’VE INCLUDED LIL REY HOWERY
Now that
Gambit
has been completely scrapped,
Get Out
star Lil Rey Howery has revealed what could’ve been. Speaking about his upcoming film
Bad Trip
to
The Illuminerdi
, Howery was asked whether he would like to join the MCU, to which he revealed he was attached to a superhero project at one stage:
When asked if the film was
Gambit
, Howery responded:
“Yeah… I ain’t never told anybody that. Yeah it was
Gambit.”
“So there was a movie that I was attached to with Channing Tatum that we were going to do and whatever happened happened, it was in that world so…I was like ‘Damn man.’”
WHAT GAMBIT COULD’VE BEEN
Little has been revealed about
Gambit
since its cancelation
, the only constant was that Channing Tatum would play the lead role. The film was clearly close to shooting more than once if other actors, such as Howery, had joined the cast.
It’s anyone’s guess as to which character Howery would’ve played, but he’s proven himself an actor of many talents given his roles in projects such as
Get Out, Insecure
and
Judas and the Black Messiah
. Early iterations of
Gambit
had it pinned as a comedic heist film, so Howery would’ve fit right in as one of the supporting characters.
It looks pretty unlikely that Fox’s version of
Gambit
will ever see the light of day, but now that Disney has control over the character it’s still possible audiences will see Gambit in a future project.
