Channing Tatum is keeping his Gambit dream alive. The actor, who returns as the card-throwing mutant in Avengers: Doomsday, is still "fighting" to get a standalone Gambit film made, according to GamesRadar+, which also reported that director Shawn Levy wanted to helm a previous version of the script.

The solo project has a long and bumpy history. Fox originally ordered the movie back in 2014, but it cycled through development for years before being cancelled in the fallout of Disney's acquisition of the studio. Tatum eventually got to play the character anyway — first in Deadpool & Wolverine, and now in the next Avengers event film.

Fans got a fresh taste of his take on the character this week via an unlikely venue: a Doomsday x Dunkin' Donuts ad. Per IGN, Tatum shows off a slightly updated Cajun accent for Gambit in the spot, suggesting the performance is still being refined ahead of the film's release. Whether Marvel Studios ever greenlights the solo outing Tatum has chased for over a decade, Doomsday will give the character his biggest stage yet.
