He did assist Charles in teaching Banshee to fly.

 

In by teaching Banshee to fly, you mean pushing him out of the window.

 

Hey, it worked. Basically, Erik made him **** or get off the pot.

 

You're lucky I don't have a ban hammer.

 

As soon as he lifts the door and "Logan McFly" is standing there I lost it.

 

Great Scott that was ****ing awful.

 

But it was so awful that it was funny too.

 

CleverMovies: New Gambit Movie Details Revealed

 

Channing Tatum exits Gambit spinoff film.

With the problems with Fantastic Four and this, is this the 2nd nail in the Fox Marvel coffin? Could this speed up the MCU getting X-Men?

 

Not quite exit yet but various other factors:

One individual close to the project told TheWrap that Tatum’s reps are still in active discussions with the studio but acknowledged that “something is up.” The situation will have to be resolved quickly, as “Gambit” is slated for release on Oct. 7, 2016....
“Gambit” has long been a passion project for Tatum, whose attachment encouraged 20th Century Fox to ramp up production. However, Tatum also has larger ambitions, which may play a role in the current situation.
In a recent Grantland profile, Carolin said that he and Tatum are planning to make their directorial debut soon, so it’s possible that the star’s desire to segue behind the camera is factoring into his decision. He’s also slated to star in “23 Jump Street” for Sony.

 

I doubt Fox will let X-Men anytime soon.

 

X-Men is still successful. Not to mention has gotten back to being praised after First Class and Days of Futures Past.

So I doubt they'll get it back anything soon. Fantastic 4 on the other hand.

 

It could be as simple as Tatum has a window to direct a movie + also be Gambit and neither one can move so he'll have to go direct something because Fox sure as hell ain't waitin'! Although, considering Tatum would probably be a huge selling point, moreso than probably any other actor they could get to slot in there to sell a fairly unknown character, and they might even need a new Hugh Jackman / Robert Downey Jr. "face" to their superhero franchise, they probably should wait.

 

I still don't think that Fox will just hand over Fantastic Four to Marvel if the film bombs because of the Cold War going between the two studios. I think Fox would hold on to F4 just to spite Marvel.

As for Tatum close to leaving Gambit, I'm actually surprise to hear this news considering he's been pushing for the role for a long while, much like Ryan Reynolds did with Deadpool. Moreover, I hear that the Gambit film was given a production budget of $150, while Deadpool had a considerably smaller budget. If Tatum leave, I wouldn't mind Taylor Kitsch getting a second shot at the role since Reynolds returned as Deadpool.

 

As much I'd like to see X-Men back in the hands of Marvel, which I am pretty sure Marvel would like too, X3/XMO aside, Fox's Xverse has been a pretty consistently high flying franchise. Quicksilever appearing in both DOFP and AOU suggests that Marvel and Fox are at least (sort of) talking to each other, but Fox isn't about to just hand over X-Men, when there's still plenty of content to mine.

 

Yeah, and I'm thinking Fox will move forward with the new and young cast members of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Angel and Jubilee after Apocalypse, as I'm pretty sure the actors that have been cast for those roles signed a multi-picture deal. I don't think Fox will reboot the X-Franchise after Apocalypse but just continue and therefore I wouldn't be surprised if the younger X-Men are brought from the 80s to present time by the end of the film setting up for a potential F4, Deadpool, Gambit, X-Force crossover or a redo of the Dark Phoenix Saga.

 

Yeah I do notice that they cast young adults as the big X-Men, however, if they wanted to do a sequel to Apocalypse, would they jump ahead another decade to the 90s thereby basically hitting the same period that X-1 happened? Or would they literally just toss the young X-Men into a TARDIS and jump them forward to present day.

 

"Marvel....NOW!"

 

Meh. The X-Men have always been "weird" when it comes being part of the greater Marvel continuity. They raise a lot of questions that Marvel has had trouble answering. Plus I don't really trust the MCU not to water things down too much.

 

How so?

 

actually, aside from everyone teaming up against Magneto and filling out a few roster spots on the Avengers (okay, more than a few), the X-Men have generally been off to the side of the larger moves of the MCU unless you flat-out go X-Men vs. Avengers on it.

 

Wait, was Thrawn talking about the comics or the films?
