‘Gambit’ Release Date Now Set For 2019

After several false starts, the Gambit spin-off movie seems to finally be back on track. Recently it was reported that Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski was in talks to helm the film after previously attached directors Rupert Wyatt and Doug Liman both departed the project. While Verbinski still hasn’t been confirmed yet, a new release date has.
Gambit was originally planned for a October 7, 2016 release date, but the behind the scenes issues with ever-changing filmmakers obviously delayed that. Now the project seems to be picking up steam again. The new release date hints that Verbinski, or at least someone, is very close to signing on to helm the film. Of course, there’s always a chance whomever is hired to direct will also walk, and the date will be changed once more, and this whole dance will start up all over again.
