Just cancel this movie
The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-MEN with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels.
Christopher from Omega Underground kinda ok with that and says that similar director situation right before production happend to Deadpool 2, First Class and DOFP. He asumes that new director will be announced soon and told: "They would have covered their bases before an announcement like this hit the trades. I'm sure they've already met with people."
Still hoping for the better.
I'm going to remain hopeful. There has already been so much work put into this film, and I think Fox will find someone else to direct it. As the company has said time and time again, they have to keep going forward as if the deal won't happen, and they need material to release. X-Men films make the studio money, and I still think Gambit will be made.
The kitty Pryde movie announcement right before this news makes more sense. FOX is really good at controlling negative reactions lol.
We'll see if it starts filming in March. Very interesting

They should give a female director like Lexi Alexander a chance. Could be a good fit for Gambit.
We’re they planning a Gambit movie before Channing Tatum was attached? I didn’t think they were but I can’t remember.

Verbinski news is nuts. Expect a new Gambit director announced shortly as Fox is intent on sticking to that start date from what I've heard.
It's hard for me to listen to someone not in my position. A caterpillar can't relate to what an eagle envisions.
Gambit is seeing its release date move from Feb. 14, 2019 to June 7, 2019. The Channing Tatum vehicle just lost its director — Gore Verbinski exited Thursday — and the search is on for a replacement.
But studio insiders believe the project, which is described as having a heavy comedic tone as it revolves around a heist, will do better as a summer Marvel movie.

They're pretty deep in pre-production. Leitch was announced few weeks after Miller left Deadpool sequel. Expect news soon.
Additional Gambit note: Hearing Fox intends to bring the film to SDCC, so that's another reason I wouldn't expect any further delays.
