"Gambit" is still in the cards for Channing Tatum. 

Despite reports that the actor may drop out of Fox's upcoming "X-Men" spinoff, The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/channing-tatum-closes-his-gambit-812514) says Tatum has closed a deal for the role. News that Tatum may not play the card- (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/channing-tatum-leaving-gambit_55b8c00ae4b0a13f9d1acf24)wielding mutant (https://www.google.com/search?espv=2&biw=1139&bih=621&q=wielding&spell=1& sa=X&ved=0CBoQvwUoAGoVChMIk9qB3PCIxwIVB8o-Ch0LiAkB) broke after contract negotiations reportedly hit a snag, which included disagreements about Tatum's level of involvement in the "X-Men" movies. But it looks like the impasse wasn't as bad as previously thought since everything has finally been worked out. Back-and-forth with top stars is "normal" for negotiations, THR reports.

Before the controversy, Tatum was actively promoting his role in the film, showing up at Comic-Con and even sending out amazing pictures like these:

And it's clear "X-Men" creator Stan Lee (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/14/channing-tatum-helps-stan-lee-comic-con) likes having him around:

Now that he's definitely on board, we can probably expect more awesomeness to come.

"Gambit (http://screenrant.com/gambit-x-men-release-date-2016/)" is set to hit theaters in 2016.
