\"\"<\/p>\n

Did a director reveal for GAMBIT<\/a> just come to us via the IMDB<\/a>? The verdict is still out at this point, as the site isn’t always 100% accurate, but Oscar nominated Frank Darabont<\/strong> (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption) is listed there as helming Channing Tatum’s developing solo spin-off film. It also lists him as working on the script, which Reid Carolin and Joshua Zetumer tackled based off a story treatment from Gambit co-creator Chris Claremont.<\/p>\n

Previous directors working on the project included Rupert Wyatt and Doug Liman, who allegedly left over either scheduling issues or creative differences.<\/p>\n

Production is expected to begin next year in New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana. 20th Century Fox has potential dates for the release, including March 2, November 2 and June 29 of 2018 and February 14, 2019.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned to see if this turns out to be true or if it’s just a rumor.<\/p>\n

Thanks to X-Men Saga<\/a> for the heads up!<\/em><\/p>\n
