“X-Men: Apocalypse” director Simon Kinberg was recently asked about the status of the Channing Tatum-led “Gambit” film, based on the Marvel Comics title. The question came in the wake of Disney completing its acquisition of 20th Century Fox, and Kinberg is at least staying upbeat, telling
Variety:
“All of the movies at Fox are being evaluated. I love the idea of Channing playing Gambit. I think we have a great script for it and I think it’s a role he was born to play. It’s a character I grew up loving and I know the fans love. So I suspect, I hope it will happen. There will be a lot of mixing and merging now and I’m all for it and excited to see.”
