10 Cameos Everyone Wants To See In 2016's Biggest Movies

8. Gambit - X-Men: Apocalypse

Channing Tatum has told X-Men fans that he won't be making an appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse, the upcoming sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past... but who are we to trust Channing Tatum? Actors lie about this stuff all the time - not to mention that he was spotted at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con with the other cast members. Why, you have to wonder, would Tatum have travelled all the way to San Diego in order to promote a movie that he's not supposed to be in? Which kind of hints at the possibility that the Magic Mike star, who is set to play the role of X-Men member Gambit in his own spin-off movie in 2017, has a small role. It would make a lot of sense from a marketing perspective, of course; give Tatum a scene in Apocalypse and help draw more people into theatres for the Gambit flick. Kind of a new brainer, isn't it? Aside from being good business, this would just be plainly awesome. And given that there's no word about how Gambit fits into the franchise from a continuity/timeline perspective, there's literally no reason why such a thing isn't possible. Fingers crossed!
