Every movie faces difficulties on its way to the big screen, but Fox’s Gambit—starring Channing Tatum as the Cajun mutant with a knack for card-throwing—has had to get past more than its share, including the departure of director Rupert Wyatt last September. It wasn’t until November that Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) replaced Wyatt on the project. With production not scheduled to start until the spring, it may take some real-life superpowers for this movie to make its planned release date, especially with 20th Century Fox already committed to X-Men universe movies Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse.
