Edward Lawrie Tatum become formally attached to star in theGambitsolo movie in 2014 and had begun to express his stake in play the Ragin ' Cajun even before then . In spite of the actor ’s deathless commitment to the projection , Gambithas struggled to get off the reason and has gone through no less than three large - name directors by now . Gore Verbinski(Pirates of the Caribbean , A curative for Wellness ) was the most recent film maker to abandon ship on the spinoff .

Fox did n’t includeGambiton its leaning of upcomingX - Menmovies during its CinemaCon presentation last month , further fuel rumors that the pic is either beat in the water or on life reenforcement .

“ We have n’t had any give-and-take yet about what the Disney acquisition of Fox would look like for the Marvel prop because I think legally they ’re not allowed to tattle about it until it ’s done . So no we have n’t talk about it all . We ’re just moving forward as we move forrader . Once Drew Goddard ’s quick we ’ll get into X - Force and , trust it or not , we ’re still endeavor to get Gambit [ starring Channing Tatum as the cajun mutant ] up and run . The hope is to keep moving onward until we hear otherwise . To me , I have no idea what to expect but I think it could be really exciting . ”

Fox is concord onto a June 2019 firing date forGambit , but the deficiency of concrete updates late - save fora bruit film start date- makes it highly marvellous the movie will keep that date . It sounds likeX - Forceis the self-aggrandising priority now anyway , in anticipation of this month’sDeadpool 2(which have an former version of the X - Force gang ) becoming a self-aggrandizing hit at the box office . With Kinberg also preparing forX - military man : Dark Phoenixpickup shoot later this year andThe New Mutantsundergoing toilsome reshoots for its spillage next year , it ’s presumably all the harder forGambitto get off the soil with everything else happening on theX - Menfront right now .
