Production on X-Men spin-off Gambit has faced yet another obstacle with director Doug Liman jumping ship to DC mashup Justice League Dark.
Instead, Variety reports that he will oversee DC project Justice League Dark which focuses on a group of altogether darker superheroes to the ones who’ll head up Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Production on the Channing Tatum-starring Gambit is expected to begin in January with the hunt for a new director already underway.
The film- which was first linked to Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro – is intended to introduce a ‘dark universe’ to DC’s slate.
