Gambit (October 7)

According to Channing Tatum (who will portray the titular character), Gambit has been a long time in the making – apparently, the actor has lobbied for quite a while until he got the movie released. Also a part of the Mutant Cinematic Universe, Gambit will once again bring on the silver screen the mutant who can infuse any object with kinetic energy.

Thus far, little is known about the flick – other than the fact that it is expected to be an origin story, which will also introduce Mister Sinister into the shared universe. Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) directs, while the only other actor being cast is       Léa Seydoux (Spectre) in an unspecified role.

There are no pics from the set just yet – though we can say that this was a troubled production, which almost lost its main star and director, due to creative issues (which were, as it seems, problems with an ever-expanding budget).
