Dark Phoenix Director Says Gambit Movie is Being Reevaluated By Disney

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18813″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Just like Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam, it seems like Channing Tatum has been connected to a Gambit movie that we are unsure will ever happen. Though, now it seems we will be getting a Black Adam movie before we ever get a Gambit film; if we do at all. That was, under Fox. Now, with the merger between Fox and Disney, apparently; the Gambit project is being reevaluated and is among other films that fall under the same umbrella.

Gambit’s screenwriter Simon Kinberg spoke to 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,” Kinberg said. “It’s a character I grew up loving and I know the fans love. So I suspect, I hope it will happen.”

Kinberg is making his directorial debut with X-Men: Dark Phoenix and is suggesting that with this new merger, more crossover may come out:

“There will be a lot of mixing and merging now and I’m all for it and excited to see. I would say probably either somebody from Wakanda or Iron Man. I mean I love [Robert Downey Jr.]. I’ve worked with him. I love what he does with that character. I feel like he created the tonal template for the MCU with the first ‘Iron Man’ movie. And so the notion of Iron Man popping up in ‘X-Men’ or Iron Man interacting with Deadpool is pretty exciting.”

How do you feel about the Gambit movie? Let us know![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
