Created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, the mutant character Gambit was first introduced to Marvel Comics in 1990, and while considered by many to be a controversial character, he certainly has developed his own dedicated fan-base (particularly in thanks to the animated show that began in 1992). With the X-Men franchise expanding, 20th Century Fox has spent years trying to capitalize on this popularity, and now they may actually get to by giving the mutant hero his very own solo movie.
film going to be about? Who is it going to star? Who has been put in charge of making it? We answer all of those questions and more in this latest installment of our What We Know So Far guides. Read on and learn!
In January of 2015, 20th Century Fox announced a number of big release dates, but one of the most significant was the placement of
- which was pegged for October 7, 2016. This was a big deal, mostly because it looked like the
Cinematic Universe would beat both Marvel Studios and DC Comics/Warner Bros. to the three-movies-per-year punch - releasing both
in the months before it. Unfortunately, that plan didn\'t turn out so hot.
\'s incredibly successful release in February 2016, 20th Century Fox officially announced that they would be removing
not just from their 2016 release schedule, but their release schedule in general. It\'s been said that the project is hoping to start up production before the end of 2016, meaning that the film could find its way into theaters some time in the second half of 2017, but it\'s unclear if that is actually going to happen. For now, the film exists with a giant "TBA" where its release date should be.
It has not yet been revealed what the rating of Doug Liman\'s
movie will be, but what\'s interesting is that there are more possibilities that exist with the project than with most superhero films. While Marvel/Disney and DC Comics/Warner Bros. seem 100% happy continuing to make only PG-13 projects that appeal to mass audiences, the X-Men franchise and 20th Century Fox have been a tad bit more open minded about the potential of more adult-geared fare.
in 2016 - the movie actually managing to not just become the highest grossing title in the
franchise, but one of the highest grossing R-rated movies ever released. The crazy box office numbers have already inspired the studio to let director James Mangold make the third and final
feature with plenty of blood and cursing, so it\'s entirely possible that they will go the same direction with
. The Cajun hero isn\'t one who necessarily entirely lends himself to an R-rated feature, but it\'s not like Fox hasn\'t made particular alterations to characters before (Gambit not excluded).
Though he wasn\'t necessarily 20th Century Fox\'s first choice for the gig (we\'ll get more into that later), the reins of the
now rest in the hands of director Doug Liman. The announcement that he had landed the gig arrived through trade reports in November 2015 -- following stories suggesting that he was the frontrunner for the job.
After making his feature debut with the 1994 romantic comedy/thriller
, Doug Liman really started gaining notoriety thanks to his 1996 indie hit
(based on a script by Jon Favreau). He followed that up with the
in 1999, but since then has spent most of his career directing action movies.
In 2002 he teamed up with Matt Damon to launch the Jason Bourne franchise with
. The good news, though, is that he was back at the best of his abilities with his last blockbuster -- the Tom Cruise-starring, critically-acclaimed sci-fi action movie
Recently, Doug Liman has completed work on the ensemble-driven suspense comedy
(which will be out in 2017), and has also been developing the moon-centric thriller
was originally being written by screenwriter Joshua Zetumer - the scribe behind the 2014
remake -- but since the film got pushed from its 2016 release date, Reid Carolin (
) has been taking care of rewrites. While nothing has officially been confirmed about the plot of the film, it\'s expected to follow certain beats from the titular character\'s origin story in Marvel comics.
Cinematic Universe, the film is expected to follow the young Remy LeBeau as he lives in New Orleans, Louisiana as a key member of the venerable Thieves\' Guild. In order to try and create peace between this group and the rivals of the Assassins\' Guild, a marriage is organized between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head assassin and a childhood friend of Remy\'s. Unfortunately, due to certain sour family members, this event winds up going horribly wrong.
At this time it is unknown who will be the central antagonist of the film, but we\'ll get into that soon.
Taking on the role of Remy LeBeau, a.k.a. Gambit, in the Doug Liman-directed superhero movie will be none other than A-lister Channing Tatum... and that casting is really all thanks to long time
franchise producer Lauren Schuler Donner. Back in January of 2014, the filmmaker went on the record saying,
I\'m dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum. That doesn\'t have to be a great big movie. It\'s a thief in New Orleans, it\'s a whole different story. He\'s on board, and I have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing? He\'s such a sweetheart.
Interestingly enough, Channing Tatum\'s connections to both the franchise and the character have been around for quite a long time. Back in 2006 when director Brett Ratner was working on making
, Tatum was one of the actors who was in the running to take on the first live-action version of Gambit. The character was ultimately cut from the script and wasn\'t featured in the film, but apparently the "Tatum as Gambit" idea stuck around.
In late July 2015, there were reports that circulated saying that certain issues had come up between Channing Tatum and 20th Century Fox regarding his contract. As a result, it was speculated that there was a possibility that he could wind up leaving the project behind and leaving the studio in the position of recasting the lead. This trouble was averted a few days later, however, when it was revealed that the actor had closed a deal.
is expected to have his traditional thick Cajun accent -- which the actor claims he can do thanks to his father being from New Orleans - and there\'s no reason to believe that they will be changing the hero\'s traditional power set that comes courtesy of his mutation. His primary ability is that he can connect to and channel kinetic energy, and can subsequently use this to charge individual objects. He is particularly known for "charging" playing cards and throwing them around as explosives. Additionally, he is a skilled and acrobatic fighter who uses a bo staff as his primary weapon.
