Bond girl Lea Seydoux is Gambits Belladonna with Channing Tatum

There's another superhero spin off movie on the way, and this time its Gambit's turn to get some solo action.

Channing Tatum is in the frame to play the Cajun X-Men - he's the one with the cool coat who throws exploding playing cards a lot and is charming. The new flick is being directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and has been looking for a leading lady for awhile now, with names like Rebecca Ferguson and Abbey Lee (Fury Road) being mooted. Now Bella has been cast, she's set to be played by Lea Seydoux.

Screen-testing has been taking place over the last couple of weeks so it seems the 30 year old French actress has impressed the right people - and it can't hurt that she's also set to have a major role in the upcoming Bond movie Spectre. She's had an eclectic career so far, featuring in the likes of Blue is the Warmest Colour Ghost Protocol and Inglourious Basterds.
