The Gambit standalone movie has had a somewhat troubled production. Channing Tatum was crowned the new Remy LeBeau in May 2014, and that news was soon followed by confirmation that the movie had secured a screenwriter. Then there were concerns that Tatum had just been bluffing about wanting to play the Cajun X-Man, which he quickly rebuffed. The production has also had trouble hanging on to directors, as Edge Of Tomorrow’s Doug Liman replaced Rupert Wyatt (The Gambler, appropriately enough) last fall. All of this shuffling proved a bit much for Fox to deal with, and the studio pulled Gambit from its October 2016 release. But producer Simon Kinberg is now suggesting the movie could finally start filming next year.
