Channing Tatum hints at reprising as Gambit in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

Channing Tatum is having a tough time mastering the Cajun accent while playing Gambit in Marvel’s upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday.

“It's always an interesting negotiation,” the actor said of speaking in the Louisiana dialect his comic book superhero character is known for, according to PEOPLE.

“When you go down to Lafayette, where most of the Cajuns and Cajun culture are, there's a huge spectrum of Cajun. It's massive,” Tatum explained.

“And so I have to interpret what I need to get across in the scene,” he added. “And I’ve got to make sure, ‘Is this line for a joke and can I really Cajun this one up? Or is this line for plot and do I need to be really clear but still in a Cajun accent?’”

The Marvel star, who played the character in last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine, said the accent is “always a bit of a push and pull,” noting that Avengers: Doomsday will be more dramatic than Deadpool & Wolverine, which leaned heavily on comedic moments.

Doomsday directors Anthony and Joe Russo “love their comedy and that's always going to be in there as well,” Tatum told the outlet, “but it's definitely going to be a dramatic movie.”
