"I'm dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum," she told Empire.

"That doesn't have to be a great big movie. It's a thief in New Orleans, it's a whole different story.

"He's on board, and I have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing? He's such a sweetheart."

Tatum has previous indicated that he would be interested in playing the character.

Taylor Kitsch cameoed as Gambit in the poorly received 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Tatum will next be seen in 22 Jump Street, Jupiter Ascending and Foxcatcher.

X-Men: Days of Future Past will arrive in UK cinemas on May 22 and in the US on May 23.
