Daniel Craig is reportedly being eye by Twentieth Century Fox to make for the main villain inGambit , and possibly beyond in theX - Menuniverse . For all the attention Marvel Studios and DC Films have , much of the modern superhero motion picture craze would not exist without Fox launchingX - Menback in 2000 . The mainline franchise has continue and been boot a few prison term over the eld , but the studio has found their big hits in the standalone endeavors .

Gambithas been get in growth for old age with Channing Tatum as the star , cycle through several directorsand undergo multiple rescript . Most late , Tatum said thatthe project was starting over , but   potential plot of land item   have already made their way online . Not only is the film ( reportedly )   look to insert Mister Sinister at long last , it may also impart Daniel Craig into the mutant creation .

Splash Reportis report that their source have informed them that there are “ conversation ” to institute Craig onboard forGambit . While this report should be taken with some major grain of salt , it does take that Fox wants the current 007 actor to be their newX - Menmovie freehanded bad . Again , this is just a hearsay right now , but an enticing one still . [ UPDATE : The Wrap ’s Umberto Gonzalez is now   reporting that this Craig / Gambitrumor is"not true " . ]

Fox first teased the introduction of Nathaniel Essex aka Mister Sinister in the post - credit picture forX - Men : Apocalypse . Should these rumour aboutGambit ’s plot and frame picks   ( both of which came fromSplash Report ) prove accurate , then theX - Menmovies may finally be quick to bring one of the original cartoon strip '   biggest and most powerful villains ever   to the big screen .

While Craig has voiced his frustrations with franchise in the yesteryear when discussing a possible proceeds as James Bond , this would be a dissimilar steering for him to take his post-007 life history in . He also   starred opposite Tatum inLogan Luckyearlier this year , where both men appear to have a great time together . If they did , having the opportunity to work with Tatum once again could be just another rationality for Craig to   be interested in saidGambitrole .

There is still a tenacious room to go before Craig officially joinsGambit ,   should things head in that direction . The film is still without a director or freeing day of the month , and any new director may need some stimulant in the casting unconscious process . Plus , it is not even support that Sinister will be let in or how quickly Fox is planning to move this film forth . So , before people get too attach or disinterested in the idea of Craig joiningGambitas Mister Sinister , it is just a rumor right now and could never happen .
