It's learned the Channing Tatum Gambit movie is going into active development.
A report by THR states after being placed on hold, as Channing Tatum filmed Steven Soderberghs Logan Lucky, Gambit should move back into active development with a new director.
The Gambit movie recently lost its second potential director with Doug Liman, who moves on to direct DC's Justice League Dark live-action film.
A couple of months ago also saw Simon Kinberg update the Gambit movie in that they are getting the tone of Gambit right.
"I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that toneDeadpool feels like it exploded out of nowhere, but it was a 10-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those 10 years.
I hope that Gambit doesnt take 10 years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really its just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character, and I think were really close right now."
The Channing Tatum Gambit movie was originally going to be released some time in 2018.

I'm still crossing my fingers that Channing Tatum pulls out of this project. What a horrible casting decision.

Oh hooray, I guess?
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

The writer of the 2000s Mike Carey fell in love with Magneto. Gambit was pushed aside for Magneto and Rogue to get together. I always felt Marvel never liked the character. Claremont and Fabian Nicieza were the only writers who seemed to like the character.

There's an entire generation that has no idea who Gambit is.
I think they wasted their opportunity. And with each new character Marvel rolls out, he gets buried further into public memory.

Yeah, Gambit at this point just seems so random to even bother with as you would think they would've kept the character around in the franchise in small doses to lead up to his solo film.
When there's no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

I take it they couldn't find a charming Cajun out of the thousands of actors roaming Louisiana?
Is it really so logistically hard to just get someone with the actual accent? Channing Tatum is a mediocre actor and is too exposed to bury his persona in the role.
It's mind boggling that they can't just get unknown actors from the local area.

Gambit was "relevant" well into the 2000's.(They started to not write him very well at that point though) The movies emphasis on Wolverine left Gambit out of the movies and since the comics began to emulate the films at that time Gambit took a back seat. Gambit will always be one of the "cool" X-Men. They just need to do something with him.
I hope this is true as I feel like I've been waiting forever for the Gambit movie.

Gambit hasn't been relevant since the 1990's. Is he even considered one of the "cool" X-Men anymore?
