GAMBIT Gets An Official Release Date; Fox's X-Men Spinoff Will Hit Theaters On Valentine's Day 2019
We recently found out that Pirates of The Caribbean director Gore Verbinski had signed on to helm 20th Century Fox's Gambit movie, and now the X-Men spinoff has been given an official release date...
20th Century Fox has announced that the upcoming Gambit movie starring Channing Tatum as the titular Cajun hero will open on Valentine's Day 2019, meaning, of course, that this was the mystery movie the studio had previously announced for Feb. 14 of that year.
We recently found out that Gore Verbinski had entered early talks to direct the X-Men spinoff, and it looks like those negotiations were successful as he appears to have signed on.
Gambit has had so many false starts that many fans had written it off altogether, but this is obviously a very good sign that things are moving forward satisfactorily.
We still don't have any confirmed plot details, but if recent rumors turn out to be accurate, Mr. Sinister will be the movie's big bad.
