31 Mar – After years of delays and setbacks, it looks like the long-awaited "X-Men" spinoff, "Gambit", starring Channing Tatum, is greenlit to start production this summer. "Gambit" is to begin production this 19 June in New Orleans, the birthplace of the fictional character, Omega Underground reported. Despite locking a new production start date and also a release date of 7 June 2019, the project has yet to confirm a director to take on the helming duties after Gore Verbinski's exit early this year.
