GAMBIT: Fox Hires 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Director Rupert Wyatt to Helm the Mutant Solo Movie


Fox has a full slate of super hero movies coming in 2016. Starting with DEADPOOL in February, which is in post-production, then X-MEN: APOCALYPSE in May, which is currently filming in Montreal, and finally GAMBIT. And the Channing Tatum-led GAMBIT movie officially has its director.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) will direct the mutant movie. 

Not much is known about the GAMBIT solo movie but with its release date set for October 7, 2016, and the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International next month, it's safe to assume more information about the cajun mutant's solo adventure is coming very soon.
