Lizzy Caplan Joining Channing Tatum in 'Gambit'


Lizzy Caplan is in talks to join the cast of "Gambit," Variety has learned. The "Masters of Sex" star will play the female lead in the superhero movie. Details of her part are being kept under wraps.

The X-Men spinoff stars Channing Tatum as Gambit, a ragin’ Cajun whose ability to control kinetic energy enables him to weaponize playing cards and other projectiles. He’s also pretty handy with a bo staff. In the comics, Gambit was a member of the Thieves Guild before joining the X-Men. "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski will slide behind the camera on the film. It’s eyeing a Feb. 14, 2019 debut. Fox is releasing the film as part of its continued expansion of the cinematic mutant universe.
