Our favorite Cajun mutant has its director.
Last year, 20th Century Fox confirmed that they were in development of a Gambit solo film starring Channing Tatum in the titular role with a October 7, 2016 release date. Today, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" director Rupert Wyatt has signed on to direct the film, beating other potential frontrunners J.C. Chandor and Gareth Evans.
As a fan of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (I did also enjoy "The Gambler"), I believe Fox got a great talent to direct the Gambit solo film. This is a project I've been waiting to see for a long time but also very cautious about, but with Wyatt's involvement in the film, I can safely say that "Gambit" is in good hands.
What do you think of Wyatt as director of "Gambit"?
