The road to a Gambit movie has not been an easy one. Channing Tatum has wanted to play the comic book superhero for some time and has been attached as part of the project as a producer for a few years. Earlier this week we heard that negotiations between Fox and Tatum were breaking down and he was going to abandon the project. But it looks like whatever the snag was has been resolved. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that a deal has been closed and the sticking points might have been backend compensation or the number of movies in the deal. Whatever it was the movie is now on track for an October 8th, 2016 release. Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) is set to direct.
