He has been tied to the role of Gambit for a few years now, but that seems to be stuck in limbo. Tatum would be perfect in the role and help bring in a whole new demographic.
He’s also shown a deeper and darker side (something that would play into Shatterstar’s mysterious origins) in Foxcatcher. Channing Tatum has shown he is capable of both, with his parts in Magic Mike and White House Down, respectively. Shatterstar is the team’s resident pretty boy, but also an all-around bad ass. The man would be perfect and has the acting chops to play a character as layered in mystery as Cable is. I can just see Morgan with the iconic metal arm and cybernetic eye, brandishing huge guns as he shoots his way through intense action scenes. So it’s not a stretch to imagine the imposing Morgan playing Cable, X-Force’s defacto leader from the future. And he was no stranger to comics before then, having had starring roles in both The Losers and Watchmen. Jeffery Dean Morgan is already causing waves with his recent brutal portrayal of Negan on The Walking Dead. Here’s my dream cast for an 90s set X-Force movie.
I thought it’d be fun to fan cast this paramilitary unit of mutants, and pick a director too. By using X-Force, a more proactive and darker team, the series could go in an entirely new direction. With that in mind, X-Force could be part of the next film as a spinoff has been in the works for some time.
Nothing is more 90s than Rob Liefeld’s X-Force, a title that influenced an entire generation of stories and characters. With the next X-Men film set in the 90s according to producer, Simon Kinberg. This summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse continued the series new trend of firmly placing an entry in a new decade (in this case the 80s). The past three X-Men movies have without a doubt revitalized the franchise.
