On July 3rd 2015, Channing Tatum will unleash the beast that is ‘Magic Mike XXL‘, the sequel to Box office winner ‘Magic Mike.’

Today, long before that happens, the actor has seen new details from his forthcoming X-Men spinoff ‘Gambit’ emerge, revealing that he is to co-produce the movie with ‘Mike’s writer Reid Carolin and the scribe behind this year’s ‘RoboCop‘ remake.

Full story below…

The project’s storyline is still under wraps, but any looking forward to seeing Tatum’s portrayal of the silver-tongued Southerner will be pleased to learn that 20th Century Fox are moving fast and forward with the project.

How? By calling on ‘RoboCop’ writer Josh Zetumer to pen the screenplay, and allowing Channing to produce the project alongside the aforementioned Carolin, with whom is her currently producing ‘XXL.’

‘Gambit’ is yet to receive a release date.
