If You Live in Louisiana or You Are From Louisiana You Probably Freaked Out When You Saw Channing Tatum on Screen as Gambit. Gambit is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Most people associate Gambit with the X-Men. Seeing Gambit make a cameo in Deadpool 3 was quite a shock. Gambit is a Cajun from New Orleans and he is fiercely proud of his heritage and speaks both Cajun English and Louisiana French so his accent is thick just the way we like it in Louisiana.
