'Gambit' is still happening: Channing Tatum

Actor Channing Tatum has confirmed that "X-Men" spin-off "Gambit" is still in works.

Created by writer Chris Claremont and artistes Jim Lee and Mike Collins, Gambit made his first appearances in 1990's Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 and Uncanny X-Men #266, reported ComicBook.Com

"Yeah, of course (it's still happening). We're working on it right now," Tatum said.

It has not been an easy ride for "Gambit". There was a point when it seemed Remy LeBeau just was not going to happen - especially last summer when latest director Doug Liman quit the project.

This was after first director Rupert Wyatt left due to scheduling projects.
