X-Men Producer Explains 'Gambit' Delays
The Channing Tatum Gambit X-Men spin-off has been struggling its way toward production, which is expected at this stage to begin in spring 2017. While all reports and signs point to disaster so far, producer Simon Kinberg stresses otherwise.
“I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone,” Kinberg tells Slashfilm. “Deadpool feels like it exploded out of nowhere, but it was a 10-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those 10 years.
“I hope that Gambit doesn’t take 10 years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right,” Kinberg continued. “The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it’s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character, and I think we’re really close right now.”
