The superhero genre continues be a powerful force in the entertainment industry, with a number of shared universes competing for box office supremacy. While the MCU (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription) is still going strong, Fox’s X-Men franchise ended with Dark Phoenix. A number of movies were scrapped when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, including Channing Tatum‘s long-developing Gambit movie. Actress Lizzy Caplan was set to appear in that project as well, and she just revealed information about the scrapped movie that’s making me wish we actually got to see it.
We got down the road, we were gonna shoot it. I think there was a start date. I had had meetings with Channing, and there were a couple different… we had a director, then we didn’t, but I had multiple meetings with Channing and the other producers. They wanted to do, like, a ’30s kind of screwball romantic comedy set in that world, which would have been really fun.
