Sequels "Gambit" starring Channing Tatum? - Part 1

[First Avenger]

Brett Ratner is waiting for da call.

I hope the studio takes the time to get the script right and solve any issues before going into production.

I get that people are disappointed at Fox for the Fantastic Four reboot, but the studio has definitely gotten better and done some good work since Tom Rothman left.

- X-Men: Days of Future Past
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
- Gone Girl
- Kingsman: The Secret Service
- Spy

And kudos to them for having the balls to greenlight an R-rated Deadpool movie, and letting Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds and Rheet Reese and Paul Wernick do their thing.

Sh***ing on the studio just because of the Fantastic Four debacle ain't fair and is just too easy.

Let's hope they manage fix this one. I'm definitely supportive of a Channing Tatum Gambit movie.

 

[Majik1387]

Am I the only one entirely okay with Wyatt dropping out?

 

[GuestStar2004]

As much as I like the idea of a Gambit movie, I'm still quietly hope that a delay like this causes Tatum to bow out and move on. Tatum is not my Gambit.

This film is not being made without tatum, or at least till they find another person they trust to move forward with a solo and that wouldn't be for a long time

 

[GuestStar2004]

Something about this film gives me a bad feeling. 1st Tatum wanted to drop out, then it has a unnecessarily high budget, and now the director has dropped out I think the only good news for this film is that they casted Lea Seydeaux

It may be all just down to budget tbh.

Personally i wouldn't be surprised if its tatum who wants a larger budget for gambit then fox are fully confident with and so like F4 are late in the game making decision.

I don't really get why gambit would need a huge gambit anyway

There was no excuse for the **** fest that was the FF in this day and age. I'd forgive them if they were trying but they werent.:

 

[Mike Murdock]

I've been hearing Rebecca Ferguson was their first choice.

I certainly heard she was considered, but I hadn't heard she was the first choice. Considering the casting call specifically asked for actresses who spoke fluent French, it seemed odd that they would prioritize a Swedish actress.

Anyway, if they ended up with Seydoux because their first choice didn't work out, then they lucked out in getting someone better by mistake.

There was no excuse for Jonah Hex and Green Lantern either, yet there they were. And that around the same time as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Go figure. ***** happens.

I'm still looking forward to future Fox titles, such as The Martian, The Peanuts Movie, The Revenant, Joy, Deadpool, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, X-Men: Apocalypse, and hopefully Gambit, with Tatum. One bad movie doesn't ruin their future projects for me. And it shouldn't.

 

[Flint Marko]

WB really pooped the bed with GL and Jonah Hex, and deserves criticism for those films, so that isn't a great comparison.
I think Deadpool and Apocalypse will be good/great movies, but FFINO showed that Fox is still more than capable of producing a flop. I think its too early to make any calls on this one just yet, but with the questionable lead, inflated budget, and behind the scenes issues, it certainly doesn't look good.

 

[marvelrobbins]

well people didn't disappoint.I knew there would be a pile on to this film especily by those in my ignore list.

writer of one of trades on twitter is saying Wyatt wasn't getting along with
Tatum and the other producers and script rewrites has caused the budget to Increase.

People need to get nothing is going on with X-force.For now New mutants is
held up by Josh Boone's doing the stand.X-force came out of new mutants.
besides it looks like Cable is being saved for possable deadpool sequel.

Hopeful Kinberg isn't doing any rewrites on Gambitt:

 

[Flint Marko]

It's always interesting to see those so averse to criticism. No one is "piling on" anything, this movie has had a rocky start and it wasn't one that the fans were really ever behind to begin with, so it's fair that this news will raise some eyebrows.

 

[MadVillainy]

Late to the party

I liek Rupert Wyatt, don't think he's lived up to the potential I saw with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

However, Ive always said a Gambit movie is a weird idea. And no there is nothing retroactive about this. the idea of a Gambit solo was always mixed (maybe 60-40 in the positive sides favor).
It was even weirder when they said they weren't going to put him in a group movie verse and then a solo spin off.

Gambit is a cool character, but I never thought he was big solo movie material and that was in the comics and now in the movies.

Or should I say I dont see much solo potential with him if you don't have him appear in something first.

 

[starscream22]

Sh***ing on the studio just because of the Fantastic Four debacle ain't fair and is just too easy.

3 forgettable F4 movies, a terrible Origins movie, a bad DD, Elektra, X3 and one somewhat okay Wolverine sequel if you ignore the villains and the 3rd act and people are calling it unfair to use their better judgement with Gambit...?

Pfft! It would be too hard not to...

 

[starscream22]

Gambit is a cool character, but I never thought he was big solo movie material and that was in the comics and now in the movies.

This and Fox would have trouble distinguishing him from this guy:

Or will they outright "borrow" from the same charisma?

 

[MadVillainy]

What?

Proper Gambit would have absolutely no problem distinguishing him from Star Lord.

That makes no sense.

I agree Fox has gotten their crap together when it comes to genre fair, they really have and I would normally give Gambit a chance but I don't like the behind the scenes rumors, they are too reminiscent of Fantastic Four. The director dropping out isn't good but on it's own does not spell doom but hearing of script and budget issues again is making people leery. To be fair people are leery of any comic book film that isn't from Marvel Studios and directed by Nolan and Singer when he's doing an X-film.

I find the budget stuff silly because they should have never been making a 150 million dollar Gambit movie.

 

[Mysteryman]

I want it to be good.
But, i don't have a lot of faith right now.
Personally, I think Tatum would be glad if it were cancelled at this point

Calling the F4 movies "forgettable" is about the nicest way to describe that franchise.
But yes, Fox has a less than stellar track record and apparently some people want us to forget that in the face of another movie suffering behind the scenes issues. It makes no sense.

 

[squeekness]

I'd rather this didn't get made than made and be a piece of crap.

 

[X-Maniac]

There are 'behind-the-scenes' issues on virtually every film. (Hollywood is full of ego and bipolar creatives, lol)

Mostly we don't hear about this stuff. But due to all the competing blogs and news sites online, this stuff gets leaked out and talked about more often these days.

With F4, there seems to have been a whole catalogue of things that made fans worry, though I wasn't aware of many of them because the F4 section on SHH was so toxic you needed a gasmask to enter it. So I avoided it most of the time.

Admittedly it does sound a bit unsettling (especially for geeks who follow every cough, sneeze and fart from a production) when Tatum almost dropped out, and now the director has dropped out. But it doesn't spell disaster.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The F4 section was toxic because all of the news coming out of Fantastic Four was toxic. Fans are often ****** and overreact but I think Fantastic Four proved to be that rare film where the fans were 100% right to be against it from the beginning.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

There are 'behind-the-scenes' issues on virtually every film. (Hollywood is full of ego and bipolar creatives, lol)

The actor dropping out, then rescinding, and now the director dropping out are emphatically not common issues that plague every film. Or else, as you said, the Internet would let us know it.

As with Fant4stic, if it looks like a duck..........

I can understand FOX wanting to create a new star mutant in the wake of Jackman's pending retirement. But investing $150M on a low visibility character with street level abilities was a bad idea from the start.

Gambit had a chance to work on a Deadpool-type budget, but the studio was looking at Fant4stic level losses by pushing it toward the blockbuster level. And if Deadpool performs as well as it looks so far, FOX may already have their Wolverine replacement at a fraction of the cost of the Channing film.

You've basically gotta cover your ears to in order to be blind Fox-Marvel follower.

 

[X-Maniac]

I hope that wasn't directed at me.

I certainly don't have to look far to see you're a Marvel-follower who wants reversion at any cost...
