Channing Tatum ja Simon Kinberg ovat pitkään puuhanneet Marvelin Gambitista elokuvaa, mutta nyt projekti on virallisesti kuopattu. Disney julkaisi eilen asiasta tiedotteen.
Simon Kinbergin mukaan Gambitista oli määrä tulla rääväsuinen romanttinen komedia hieman Deadpoolin hengessä aikuiseen makuun. Mies kertoi aatoksiaan IGN:lle.
"When you look at Gambit. He's a hustler and a womanizer and we just felt like there was an attitude, a swagger to him, that lent itself to romantic comedy. Deadpool was an R-rated, raunchy comedy, Logan was a western, Gambit's gonna be a romantic comedy, and New Mutants is very decidedly a horror film."
"You know, when I say romantic comedy, I use that term loosely, in the same term that I use the term western for Logan loosely. It's not like they're gunslingers at high noon in Logan. It's just a vibe. And I would say the vibe of Gambit has a romantic or sex comedy vibe to it. While it is also still very much a superhero movie with villains and heroes, as all these movies are."
