A deleted scene from Deadpool & Wolverine revealed the fate of Channing Tatum's Gambit following the battle against Cassandra Nova's army.
The actor finally played the fan-favorite X-Men character years after the plans for the Fox solo movie were canceled. A lot of fans cheered in theaters when he first showed up on screen as one of the surprise reveals.
One of the questions that fans have had since the film's release is the fate of Gambit and whether he was able to escape the Void and return to his universe. Fortunately, we finally have the answer.
Gambit Lives in Deadpool & Wolverine Deleted Scene
Ryan Reynolds recently shared a deleted scene from Deadpool & Wolverine in a social media post where he revealed Gambit's fate after the battle.
In the 20-second-long clip, Gambit is seen walking along the corpses of the mutants from Cassandra Nova's army who perished in the battle after he and the Resistance defeated them.
Then, Gambit turned back and saw Doctor Strange's sling-ring portal (or Marvel Sparkle Circle as Reynolds described) emerge in front of him, suggesting that he was able to escape the Void and return to his original universe.
Reynolds noted, "A version of the sequence is in the film — on one of the monitors in the deep background of the TVA."
This should confirm what some fans may have suspected regarding Gambit's ambiguous fate following the events of the film as it reveals that he is still alive and well.
It also poses a question of whether it is a tease on potentially reviving the solo Gambit movie years after the cancellation. Tatum recently expressed his interest to do the project again and his Deadpool & Wolverine appearance reignited his passion for the character.
For now, let's wait and see what they have in store for Tatum's potential MCU future, but this is an exciting tease of what could happen.
Deadpool & Wolverine is still showing in theaters everywhere.
