Deadpool 3 is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films by Ryan Reynolds. Perhaps an incredibly popular superhero, the Merc With a Mouth, has been the most successful outing as an actor for Reynolds. Not only did the film help carve a niche for the Canadian actor, but it also gave the audience a hilarious superhero. Now that Reynolds would be reprising his role for the third time with Deadpool 3, fans are excited to see the actor in action. And recently, an exciting update about the third installment of Deadpool surfaced online.

As we all know, Reynolds has left no stone unturned to make Deadpool 3 a huge movie. Apart from bringing back Hugh Jack as Wolverine to multiple new castings for the film, Deadpool 3 is all set to be a star-studded affair. And as surprising as it sounds, that’s not all there is to it. Recently, another exciting update about the third installment of the movie surfaced online. Reports by Giant Freakin Robot suggest that both Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch would be a part of the movie. The duo will play different versions of the mutant Gambit in the threequel.

Previously, we saw Kitsch play the card-flicking superhero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine released back in 2009. Meanwhile, Tatum never got to star as Gambit. Even though the 21 Jump Street actor was set to star in a solo Gambit film previously, the film never happened after suffering years in the development stage.

While he took no names, Liefeld said, “I think people are just going to get freakin’ blown away.” Interestingly, this would also mark the second time Tatum would be sharing the screen with Reynolds after Free Guy.
