Deadpool & Wolverine has lit the world on fire, raking in nearly $1.3 billion at the box office. Along the way to his massive theatrical success, the Merc With a Mouth’s road trip through the Void took a few pit stops to spotlight characters fans had thought were gone for good. These ranged from favorites like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to forgotten deep cuts like Jennifer Garner’s Elektra. It even took things a step further, introducing Channing Tatum as Gambit. Tatum had been cast as the character for a potential spin-off years earlier, but the film would never see release.Tatum’s performance, including the instantly iconic utterance of his intent to make a name for himself here, has garnered interest in a potential follow-up role for the character. Gambit’s newfound fandom showed that audiences still clamor to see their favorites brought to the big screen. But Tatum wasn’t the only actor to miss out on a potentially iconic portrayal of a legendary character. While he may have been fortunate enough to see his casting eventually pan out, others weren’t as lucky. These are the stories of Gambit and 10 other Marvel characters who were robbed of their intended starring roles.Deadpool & Wolverine finally gave Tatum the chance to prove his mettle, and he didn’t disappoint. Through comedic, unintelligible dialog, he quickly imprinted Gambit onto the public consciousness. The actor’s energy and dialect helped bring the surprisingly straightforward adaptation of the neo-classic X-man to life, and fans are already clamoring for more.
