The Gambler’s Rupert Wyatt will direct the Gambit movie, cherie
So this is mildly interesting: Rupert Wyatt directed the Mark Wahlberg-starring remake of The Gambler. Traditionally, “gambling” refers to casino games like poker or blackjack. Games like poker or blackjack are played with playing cards. Gambit, the Cajun X-Man, often uses playing cards as a weapon in conjunction with his mutant power, which allows him to charge objects with energy that turns them into explosive projectiles. Now, Rupert Wyatt is directing the Gambit movie, tying all of this together. Isn’t that mildly interesting? He also directed Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, but it would probably take a lot more steps to connect that to Gambit.
