It’s been a rough road so far for Channing Tatum’ “Gambit” film but things continue to move along. Producer Simon Kinberg recently spoke to Collider about the film and said that it will be different from other films in the X-Men film universe.
“I mean Deadpool obviously has a very different, almost antithetical tone to the mainline X-Men movies,” says Kinberg. “The X-Menmovies are dramatic and almost operatic, whereasDeadpool is irreverent and hysterical and sort of a dirty R-rated comedy in many ways. And Gambit will have its own different flavor and tone to it, will be more of like a heist movie and a sexy thriller in a way.” Kingberg said.
Kinberg also noted in a recent interview with Collider that the film does have a director attached, but he can’t reveal who it is because the deal isn’t done yet. The film is set to start shooting in the spring and still currently has a release date of October 6, 2016.
