Lizzy Caplan is sharing details on what the scrapped Gambit movie would’ve been like.

In 2017, Deadline reported that Caplan was in talks to co-star alongside Channing Tatum in a standalone film based on X-Men’s Gambit. The film project was ultimately scrapped, but in a new interview, Caplan gave insight into the superhero movie.

“We got down the road, we were gonna shoot it,” Caplan told Business Insider. “I think there was a start date. I had had meetings with Channing, and there were a couple different… we had a director, then we didn’t, but I had multiple meetings with Channing and the other producers.”

Caplan added, “They wanted to do, like, a ’30s kind of screwball romantic comedy set in that world, which would have been really fun.”

Watch on Deadline

Based on the comic book character Chris Claremont and Jim Lee created in 1990, Gambit made his first appearance in live-action form in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Taylor Kitsch in the role.

The film was axed following the merger of Disney and Fox in 2019, but Tatum was finally able to play Gambit in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum expressed his gratitude of finally being able to play the mutant in the big screen.

“I thought I had lost Gambit forever. But [Ryan Reynolds fought for me and Gambit,” Tatum said in a post on X. “I will owe him probably forever. Cause I’m not sure how I could ever do something that would be equal to what this has meant to me. I love ya buddy.”

As far as Caplan goes, the former star of The Class is OK with not having starred in the superhero movie, telling BI, “I had a lot of stress about doing that kind of movie even then. So now I’m pretty OK not doing one of those movies. I can hear my manager screaming in the other room.”
