Epic News: Channing Tatum will play Gambit

By

     Fox has countered WB's Batman Costume and Batmobile reveal with an epic announcement of their own.  Fox has confirmed that Channing Tatum will play the card slinging cajun Remy Leabau in a future X-men film or spinoff.  It is not confirmed by FOX at this point if Tatum will play Gambit in 2016's X-men Apocalypse which will be the sequel to this Summer's X-men Days of Future Past or if Gambit will be getting a solo spin-off film.  Considering BBQ17 once compared Channing Tatum's acting skills to that of a block of wood, and the fact that I once described Gambit as the most over rated X-men of all-time you can imagine our "jubilation for this announcement.  Now that we have "laid all of our cards on the table" let us know how you feel fellow epic reviewers about Channing Tatum playing one of the most popular X-men of all time!

UPDATE: SINCE WE FIRST WROTE THE ARTICLE IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT TATUM WILL PLAY GAMBIT IN X-MEN APOCALYPSE FIRST THEN GET HIS OWN SPIN-OFF FILM!

    I think Tatum's a good choice here. When I made the "block of wood" comment, I was mostly referring to his work on G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Since then, I've been really happy with most things I've seen in him. He does a particularly good job of playing off of other actors (Jonah Hill in Jump Street and Lego Movie, The Rock in G.I. Joe Retaliation) so I'm hoping that he'll do well with this role playing off of other cast members.

Action Figure Review: Castle Grayskull from Masters of the Universe Classics by Mattel

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
