Rupert Wyatt directs Gambit

Rupert Wyatt doesn't boast a huge portfolio, but his recent directorial feats must have drawn Fox's attention.

He's best known for 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but he's also chipped in to the making of the action- and thrill-packed The Escapist (2008), and he’s also helmed last year's The Gambler (starring Mark Wahlberg).

Gambit would be his first superhero movie to direct. But everyone has had a first time, right? And just as a lot of experience under the belt doesn't guarantee a box-office hit, a first time could be a success.
