Simon Kinberg is no stranger to the previously Fox-owned Marvel Mutant Movieverse, having been a part of pretty much all of the X-Men films from the beginning, including directing the next one due out, Dark Phoenix. Theoretically, that means he’d be in a position to know what the future of those still-on-the-slate (kinda) titles may be, like […]

Director Rupert Wyatt isn’t mixing words as to why he thinks the long-gestating live-action Gambit solo film hasn’t happened, and who/what is to blame for it. In a recent chat with ComicsBeat, Wyatt commented that due to Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four film (pretty much) failing, the budget for Gambit starring Channing Tatum was “slashed”, about 10 days from the beginning of […]

Strap on that snorkel, we’re diving deep into the rumor waters for this one. The future of the Marvel properties that Fox holds the film rights to is very much up in the air with the looming Disney purchase. The pushback of release dates for both Dark Phoenix (twice) and New Mutants (also twice) was the spark of […]

Simon Kinberg as a lot on his plate right now, more than normal for the X-Men producer who by this time next year will have had his directorial debut released with Dark Phoenix. That doesn’t mean he’s not focused on additional properties upcoming within the X-Men franchise, however. Namely, the status of the much maligned Gambit solo film […]

Sometimes the cinematic gods let it be known that a film isn’t meant to be made, and none so much than Channing Tatum’s much-maligned and problematic Gambit. Could it be good?

It’s on, it’s off, it’s delayed, but now Gambit’s solo film finally has been put onto the release calendar by 20th Century Fox. The popular Cajun X-men character who is has always played with the bad guy turned mostly good edge has long been a fan requested favorite to get a spotlight film. The character […]

Things aren’t looking good for the Fox Studio X-Men spinoff Gambit.  The Channing Tatum starring (and produced) solo film featuring the popular X-Men comics character has been having no shortage of issues this year. Originally, it had been reported a few weeks ago that the film’s star and main financial backer (Tatum) had left the project, leaving […]

This story just hit a few minutes ago, so bare with us as we get concrete sources.  It would appear, after he joined the cast for the various Fox-housed X-Men films, Channing Tatum is no longer playing the Ragin’ Cajun. According to The Wrap, someone close to the project told them that Tatum’s reps are still […]

I consider myself a pretty hearty X Men fan, (even though I prefer the couple of Magneto and Rogue to Rogue and Gambit) and I understand the desire to have “The Ragin’ Cajun” make an appearance in the X Men film franchise.  OH WAIT, he already did!  Taylor Kitsch took on the role of the […]
