"  Channing Tatum\u00A0has met with the producers of\u00A0X-Men\u00A0about playing the role of Gambit. The film&amp;#039;s producer Lauren Shuler Donner has\u00A0previously revealed\u00A0that she wants the\u00A021 Jump Street\u00A0actor on board to play the Cajun mutant for a solo film. Tatum has also previously indicated that he would be interested in playing the character and has now confirmed that he has met with Donner. He told\u00A0MTV: &amp;quot;I met with Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I&amp;#039;ve ever loved. &amp;quot;I mean I&amp;#039;ve loved them all, they&amp;#039;re all great, but I guess from being down south \u2014 my dad&amp;#039;s from Louisiana, I&amp;#039;m from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida \u2014 I don&amp;#039;t know. I just related to him.\u00A0 &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s just kind of suave ... He&amp;#039;s the most un-X-Men X-Man that&amp;#039;s ever been in X-Men. Other than maybe Wolverine, who&amp;#039;s like the anti-hero. He&amp;#039;s a thief. He&amp;#039;s not even a hero. He&amp;#039;s kind of walking the line of grey...&amp;quot; Tatum continued: &amp;quot;He loves women and drinking and smoking and stuff so he&amp;#039;s just a cool guy who happens to have a moral center ... I hope it [comes together]. &amp;quot;You never know it&amp;#039;s a weird industry. If the stars align, I would die to play it. I&amp;#039;m already working on the accent. It&amp;#039;s crappy at the moment.&amp;quot; X-Men: Days of Future Past will arrive in U.K. cinemas on May 22 and in the U.S. on May 23.
