If you were still holding out hope to see Channing Tatum’s Gambit in theaters, you’re likely out of luck. Doug Liman, the last director attached to the project prior to the merger of Disney and 20th Century Fox, has yet to be contacted about the movie. In fact, in one recent interview helping promote his new YouTube Premium series Impulse, the filmmaker revealed he thinks “it’s done.”
“No. Because I don’t know,” Liman told ScreenGeek when asked if he had any updates. “I haven’t had an update since before the buyout. I think it’s done.”
Earlier this May, it was said Marvel had been evaluating the superhero scripts Fox had in development, including the Tatum-starring Gambit. At one point, Tatum appeared alongside the other members of Fox’s X-Men universe at San Diego Comic-Con, where he explained just how much he liked the character.
