## Key points

- Gambit will be more than comic relief in “Avengers: Doomsday”.
- Tatum says the character’s Cajun accent will be softened.
- The film is scheduled for 18 December.

## Summary

Kevin Feige says Channing Tatum’s Gambit will have more depth in “Avengers: Doomsday”, rather than serving mainly as a source of comedy and action. The shift matters because his 2024 debut in “Deadpool & Wolverine” leaned heavily on jokes about his thick Cajun accent, leaving fans curious about how the character would develop.

Tatum has said he will soften the accent and that directors Anthony and Joe Russo want a more dramatic tone than “Deadpool”. Trailers show Gambit fighting Shang-Chi, played by Simu Liu, but little else is known about his role. Tatum also sustained an injury during filming and relied on a stunt double for some action scenes; the film is due on 18 December.
