Sequels "Gambit" starring Channing Tatum? - Part 2

[-JKR-]

We don't know what Gambit story they're telling. And the only thing that they should 'copy from the Deadpool method' they've already done. Getting passionate and talented people behind it.

Other than that, every film is its own different beast. So if they need a bigger budget, who are we on a message board to judge that it's too much.

If I had to guess, I'd say that a Gambit adaptation would need a little more than $58 million anyway.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If Gambit is ever made, after Apocalypse's disappointing numbers I seriously doubt that 150+ million budget will stand. To be fair I thought this before Apocalypse's disappointing numbers.

I'm sure Gambit will get a bigger budget than Deadpool but that 150+mil that was rumored? Nah.

 

[kevork89]

I think the success of Deadpool is proof to Fox that making the story and characters key is what's important. Apocalypse was already in motion pretty much as Deadpool was filming and that's why it went the same way but already after Deadpool, Fox seem to be a bit more smart with their choices. Looks like they're pushing Gambit back to get it right, the New Mutants movie looks to be in great hands and we are getting an R rated Wolverine movie that's a passion project between James and Hugh and so far sounds like the best Wolverine movie we've gotten. They look like they're in the right direction. If only they had done this before they filmed Apocalypse and could've spared themselves and fans some heartache.

I am pretty sure one of reasons why gambit was delayed for rewrites was to bring down the budget.

 

[-JKR-]

That's probably one of the reasons, yeah. But I don't think they'll bring it down to under $100 million.

I think this film has been scrapped

 

[kevork89]

Sounds like it's been pushed back again and not scrapped. Where did you get scrapped from lol when they said Liman is still attached?

 

[marvelrobbins]

It's very possable that fox's game plan once "Weapon X" hits in march is

March 2018-Deadpool sequel
june 2018-Gambit
early 2019-New mutants
summer 2019-X-men film
summer 2020-X-force

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The more stuff Liman signs onto the more I believe he isn't directing the film.

 

[x-er]

Gambit would be a great movie to complement Deadpool's. All they need is to let the creative teams do their thing, and maybe Tatum should get some pointers from Reynolds, whom was instrumental in getting Deadpool out (wasn't he involved in that leaked footage?).

And for the record, I don't think Kingberg should take all the blame for the current state of the X-Men. It's more the case that Fox is too possessive of certain titles (main X-films, FF reboot) and they need to stop encasing everything in their idea of the hollywood blockbuster. Film and entertainment shouldn't be math, it can be surprising and fun, thrilling, etc. So please don't have Professor X removed at some point in the plot of WIII : P

 

[GuestStar2004]

Fox takes so long to produce these spin off movies

So just 1 X-Men film next year.

Like I said a while ago when Gambit was announced: I do not see this happening. This has always felt like a movie that's destined for development hell before being scrapped altogether.

It's just suspicious that Liman and Tatum seem to be filming everything but Gambit.

Honestly, after Deadpool, I don't if we can write this off so easily.

I mean, Deadpool didn't look good, at all. They had a script in 2010, it leaked, it got rave reviews on-line. Robert Rodriguez reportedly turned it down; then Adam Berg (the guy who did that slow-mo heist commercial) was eyed to helm, and nothing happened; Then Tim Miller came on board - and nothing happened. They even tried the PG-13 route, and yet there were no news of Deadpool actually happening or being in active development at 20th Century Fox.

From 2009 to 2014 NOTHING HAPPENED.

So let's give them time and see what Channing Tatum & Co. are able to cook up for Gambit.

Personally, I'm excited by the cinematic possibilities of Gambit. He's one of those characters who could be the protagonist of a very unique and fresh film, and that's something I'm always looking for in times in which we're bombarded with plenty of superhero films.

let's be honest some online have been ragging on this.now it's possable kinberg is telling the truth when he claims they want to get script right.
As for liman having poential 2 other films before gambit let's also remember josh Boone has the stand and another stephen king film lined up before the new mutants so let's not write off gambit with Liman directing off so quickly.

Deadpool only happened because the internet collectively grabbed Fox by the shoulders and screamed in their face to make it happen. Fox's biggest Marvel movie happened completely in spite of themselves. If I'm wrong I'm wrong and I'll admit it, but I don't see that being the case here.
Gambit doesn't even have half of that enthusiasm. I'm not holding my breathe. I stand by what I've been claiming.

 

[Mars123]

Omg is this ever going to happen? do contracts expire? tatum will be old gambit time fox gets their asses in gear

You nailed it.

Of course Deadpool was not a guaranteed smash but the fans were actually asking for it. Fans are asking for Gambit...in an X-Men movie.

^ I disagree. Everyone's been waiting to see the Cajun thief for over a decade. My own mother wonders where he's been in the films, and she's more detached from these things than the casual moviegoer.

Now, the French-speaking world is a very big market for CBMs that Fox could dominate with Gambit. In addition, Louisiana's French culture is very rarely in the popular media, so that's something culturally-relevant for Fox to tap into. Lastly, they also have a shot at creating a superhero that is light-hearted (humor), complex (someone human and morally-ambiguous, not your typical SH) and sexy all in one (for the ladies and the Channing Tatum fans)!

 

[Logan0327]

they said they wanted to get the script right i have no problem waiting than having liman and tatum work with a shoddy script

 

[x-er]

I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt, they could surprise us!

I don't think so. It's not just an idea right now. It's getting script touch ups. There haven't been too many comic book movies announced and then scrapped. Ideas tossed around here and there but never start into anything and then scrapped. The only one I can think of is the justice league movies that started filming and the writers strike screwed that up. If it just gets canned now it won't look good over at Fox. Especially because they have a script, director and lead actor.
