Gambit is set to arrive in theaters October 7th, 2016. And while not much is known about the plot, the latest solid info comes from none other than lead man Channing Tatum.

There's a chance we’ll get to see Gambit earlier in 2016, in X-Men: Apocalypse, before his standalone movie. And that would be a great chance for Fox to introduce this established Marvel character.

But rumors aside, let's stick with the facts: if you've wondered what's coming down in Gambit, the solo movie, hit the jump to learn what Tatum has to say about it!

This interview was published in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, and pieces of it emerged on the web courtesy of Comic Book Movie.

Gambit is an origin story; the script is submitted

Are you surprised to learn they're not just sitting around? X-Men: Apocalypse might be the most marketed upcoming X-Men movie, but it's not the only one people at Fox are wrapped up in.

So, what's the current status of Gambit?
