Member AlbertV Posted March 29, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 29, 2019 After years in development and the recent merging of Fox and Disney, Simon Kinsberg, who is in charge of the X-Men Universe at Fox, gave an optimistic update on Gambit: “All of the movies at Fox are being evaluated. I love the idea of Channing playing Gambit. I think we have a great script for it and I think it’s a role he was born to play. It’s a character I grew up loving and I know the fans love. So I suspect, I hope it will happen. There will be a lot of mixing and merging now and I’m all for it and excited to see.” https://variety.com/2019/film/news/gambit-update-simon-kinberg-fox-films-evaluated-merger-1203174154/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
