It’s been a rocky road so far for Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie. It was rumored a few weeks back that Tatum was dropping out but now he’s back in. However, director Rupert Wyatt is out and he’s definitely not coming back.
The film was supposed to start shooting in November but now that it’s been pushed back to March, Wyatt had to bail due to scheduling conflicts. You can read his official statement below.
“I was very much looking forward to working with my friend Channing and the team at Fox, but regrettably a push in the start date now conflicts with another project. I thank them for the opportunity, and I know that Gambit will make a terrific film.”
Fox followed up by saying they will have a new director for the film shortly.
“Fox will move quickly to put a director in place, and they are still fully committed to the film.”
