"My superpower? I'm irresistible to women." Gambit- ANXF #9
Gambit's kittens: Oliver, Lucifer and Figaro: Oliver and Company.
He’s had more luck getting magic mike project made (probably has more control than with the big studio projects) he could be trying much harder with the gambit project, but just not getting anywhere, so we don’t see anything.
I’d heard something like that too, but don’t really know any details (or how true it was.)
MM is based on his real life experiences. Plus his MM franchise is making $$$$$ for him.
The franchise consist of:
Magic Mike
Magic Mike XXL
Magic Mike Live Las Vegas
Magic Mike Live London
and now
Magic Mike Broadway
Magic Mike the book.
He and his production company owns the intellectual property, so I would think this is his first priority.
He has basically stop acting to built this franchise.
Why does there even need to be a Gambit movie with Tatum playing him? I've always thought this was a bad idea. I'm ready for a fresh start for the X Men in films with no connection to the Fox films.
Fox is still a separate company from Disney right now. The merger isn’t complete and it can still fall apart(but I doubt it will).
We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, maybe Disney already told the Fox people they want this movie, which is actually legal for them to do.
Here something from Grace Randolph twitter account.

Ok, here's some tea from one of YOU! A BTT viewer who works at a movie theater told me management got an email to remove #DarkPhoenix posters & not discuss w/ customers as no longer sure it will be released. TOLD YOU ALL ALONG, no WAY #KevinFeige is releasing it! #MCU #XMen
Dammit!
Im also hearing Gambit, X23, Dr. Doom and Multple Man is still in the plans, but on hold until the merger is complete. Disney has no plans to recast or rewrite these four movies, but they want all of the production under Disney’s control. As far as New Mutants, I haven’t heard anything.
