Is Channing Tatum Exiting 'Gambit'? If So, Should Taylor Kitsch Return?
Channing Tatum looked so excited at San Diego Comic-Con as he joined the Marvel team to promote his upcoming role in "Gambit." But now, just a month after the happy group photo below, rumors are swirling that Channing is leaving the movie:

According to TheWrap, quoting "an individual with knowledge of the situation," Channing's "Gambit" deal is in jeopardy of collapsing and he's planning to exit the comic book movie. This source said Channing's reps are still in active discussions with 20th Century Fox, but it's supposedly known that "something is up."
"Gambit" already has a release date of October 7, 2016, so if they lose Channing they either have to recast quickly or just take it off the schedule. Some fans think Taylor Kitsch should just come back as Gambit, since he had the role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." But things are still in wait-and-see mode all around.
Would you be sorry to lose Channing or would it be no big deal to recast -- with Taylor or someone else?
