Couple bits of news as Karen Gillan admits she’s spoken to Marvel about a Nebula return and Channing Tatum still wants a Gambit solo film. Let’s begin with the one which might actually happen, i.e. Nebula returning to the MCU. There’s of course no reason why the character and her new Guardians team cannot return, yet there’s little sign of it happening either.

Speaking with The Direct, Gillan is reticent to say too much about the future, but admits she has spoken to Marvel.

“Maybe… You know I can’t tell you that [laughs]. I have Marvel snipers on me. I have definitely spoken to them. Whether or not that was about making another appearance or not is a different story. Okay, waffle without saying anything at all. I’m still going. Basically, no spoilers over here.”

I dunno, why else would she be talking to Marvel if not about future appearances?

Now on to one I cannot see happening. Channing Tatum finally achieved his dream of playing Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. He will also play the character in this December’s Avengers: Doomsday and maybe even Secret Wars if rumors are to be believed.

However, speaking with Screen Rant it seems the actor still has hopes for that long dead Gambit film that was in development under Fox.

Tatum opened up about the previous failed attempts under Fox and then the outlet said this,

‘Returning to the potential of a Gambit solo movie going forward, Tatum affirmed that he “would love there to be” one in which he gets to keep playing the player, even revealing that he’s “fighting” for the chance to do so. His one condition, though, is to get a “very, very good director to realize it.”‘

I just can’t see this given that it’s abundantly clear that Marvel is beginning again with X-Men following Secret Wars. There are even rumors of Marvel casting a new younger Gambit to play across Inde Navarette’s Rogue. Therefore, I don’t see where and how Tatum’s Gambit can return for a solo venture that would not feel out of place in the post-Secret Wars MCU? Maybe alongside Deadpool and Wolverine, but solo, nah.

What do you think, would you want a Gambit solo film starring Channing Tatum? Would you like to see Karen Gillan return as Nebula? Thoughts below.
