Ramin Setoodeh Executive EditorIn this week’s Variety cover story, Channing Tatum talks about the road to co-directing his first movie, “Dog,” with his longtime producer partner Reid Carolin.But before he came up with the idea for the MGM indie (which opens on Feb. 18), Tatum and Carolin spent four years developing “Gambit,” a raunchy stand-alone movie based on the “X-Men” mutant.The superhero project was set up at Twentieth Century Fox in 2016, and Tatum and Carolin had lobbied to share the director’s chair. “The studio really didn’t want us to direct it,” Tatum says.

Batman’s got his belt. Gambit’s like, ‘No, this shit’s just fly, bro! This shit walked down the Paris runway last year.’ He’s just wearing the stuff that’s so dope because he loves fashion.” Their version of “Gambit” resembled the tone of “Deadpool” and would have been rated R. “We wanted to make a romantic comedy superhero movie,” Carolin says.
“The thesis was the only thing harder than saving the world is making a relationship work.”Carolin notes just how close they got. “We were right on the one-yard line,” he says. “We had cast the film.
