More troubles for Gambit

After almost losing its main star, Gambit has now officially lost its director. After Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) was announced, he seemed pretty committed to this project.

However, script complications (which have led to a further increase of an already big budget) determined Fox to delay the production. If the production was supposed to have already started by now, it has been moved to the early 2016. Because this new date conflicted with the director’s prior commitments, he was forced to leave.

Gambit is supposed to be released on the 7th of October 2016. But, with this delay, we are wondering whether or not Fox will actually keep this schedule. Most likely, they won’t – thus Gambit will end up being released in 2017.

Who knows – maybe it will be released instead of the already announced Fantastic Four sequel!
