Would love to play Gambit in `X-Men` movie: Channing Tatum

Los Angeles:`White House Down` actor Channing Tatum says he would love to play the character of Gambit in a `X-Men` movie.

Among the many comic book characters, the 33-year-old actor said one he loves most is the Gambit, previously played by Taylor Kitsch in 2009 film `X-Men Origins: Wolverine`, reported Ace Showbiz.

"He was punk rock. He kind of rode the line," Tatum said.

The `Magic Mike` star will be voicing Lego Superman in `The Lego Movie` due next year, which will also have Will Arnett (Batman), Jonah Hill (Green Lantern), and Cobie Smulders (Wonder Woman).
