Twentieth Century Fox’s X-Men spinoff Gambit has found its director.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Rupert Wyatt, who directed Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, will direct the comic book movie that has Channing Tatum attached to star.
The project is one of the studio’s priorities and has a release date of October 7, 2016. Gambit is one of the more recently-created X-characters (created in 1990 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee) but quickly established himself as a fan favorite.
