I don't think casting Channing Tatum is a foolproof recipe for success nor do I think Gambit is a necessary gamble. Especially not when you already have fricken Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender. It turns out Jennifer Lawrence isn't entirely done with the franchise, stating "There is hope. I don't want to not be asked"- and Fassy said he'd do more films too.
So why not give them solos? Or, better yet, why not do a Brotherhood movie for chrissakes? Sign Fassy, J-Law, and Evan Peters then cast Avalanche, Destiny, Toad, Mastermind, maybe Polaris with Scarlet Witch cameo (Fox legally can do that still)- basically a Brotherhood's greatest hits remix. Hell, continuity is already muffed up so throw Gambit in the mix and it'll be a party. It could be like Fox's answer to Suicide Squad!
Of course, they'll just probably throw in some other dolt to replace him and continue onward.
