Gambit Spinoff Film Finds Its Director

Written by Huzaifa Khan on June 15, 2015.

20th Century Fox's Gambit has long been in production, with actor Channing Tatun attached to star as the titular character. But now, it looks like the project may have found a director to helm the magic.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) will helm the mutant movie, which stars the mutant who can charge objects with energy (his favourite being playing cards), rendering them explosive.

Tatum is producing the film along with Reid Carolin, Lauren Schuler Donner, and Simon Kinberg, and it’s scheduled for release on Oct. 7, 2016.

For all things mutant, you're already in the right place; KhanFlix.
