Fox Has Delayed Gambit. Will Deadpool 2 Take Its Slot?

However, on the plus side, the studio has dated an “Untitled Fox/Marvel Film” for October 6th, 2017 and another for January 12th, 2018. Both Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT and THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US with Idris Elba are now unset, meaning they’re still in development and moving forward, but will find a release date home later on. The Gambit solo film has now been moved from its original release date of October 7 of this year.

As for the reported two new mystery Marvel movie slots announced by the studio, there are several potential options ranging from Gambit to a Deadpool sequel. Well, the “Gambit” one seems obvious and now that “Deadpool” has become its own franchise according to its writers, it’s conceivable that a sequel or some spin-off (“X-Force”) could be coming on that early January date.

How do you feel about this back-and-forth news about the “Gambit” release date?

This is different from a movie – like Fantastic Four 2, for instance – being removed from the schedule.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS – and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. We’ll see if that one sticks though. The film is set to open opposite Pitch Perfect 3 and Blazing Samurai. Why Him has also been moved to a Christmas Day release from November 11, 2016. The animated film Ferdinand will now release on July 21, 2017, instead of April 7, 2017. The Moutain Between Us has been taken off its release schedule for the moment.
