Will Channing Tatum’s dream of starring in a “Gambit” movie finally come true?

“I hope so,” he told me on Thursday at the premiere of “Blink Twice” at the DGA in West Hollywood. “From your mouth to God’s ears. Write it into life, my friend. Please.”

Tatum’s newfound faith follows his surprise cameo as an X-Men mutant in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Tatum and producing partner Reid Carolin spent four years developing a standalone “Gambit” film for 20th Century Fox, but the film died when Disney and Fox merged in 2019.

Yes, he has already told Marvel he still wants to make it happen. “I’ve said it, of course. I’ve been saying I want it for 10 years,” Tatum said. “It’s in the hands of Bob Iger and Kevin Feige. I pray to God.”

Tatum thanked Ryan Reynolds in an Instagram post in late July for bringing his Gambit to life. “I thought I had lost Gambit forever,” but Reynolds “fought for me and Gambit.”

He also wrote: “I’ll probably owe him forever. Because I’m not sure how I could ever do anything that would equal what this meant to me. I love you buddy.”

The “Magic Mike” star praised “Deadpool & Wolverine” director Shawn Levy as “a brilliant creator on every single level.”

“Everything happens for a reason,” Tatum also wrote in the Instagram post. “I’m so grateful to be in this film. In my opinion, it’s a masterpiece. And just pure, stark joy. I literally screamed in the theater. LFG!!”
