Fox’s X-Men spin-off Gambit is still scheduled to open October 7 of next year, so they need to find a director soon. Director Rupert Wyatt recently dropped out of the project amid rumors that his vision clashed with the studio’s.
But according to The Wrap‘s Jeff Sneider, producer/leading actor Channing Tatum already has a replacement director in mind. Tatum has reportedly been courting Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow) to helm Gambit (or to shake a camera too much in Gambit‘s general direction).
True that Channing Tatum has been courting Doug Liman to direct GAMBIT. We'll see if he goes for it though…

We just don’t know how Tatum could get his attention…
Nope. No idea at all.
