Liman’s comments about his involvement with Gambit following his exit made it sound like he never quite gelled with the source material, but if Wyatt and Tatum really did have a great vision together for what Gambit could be on the big screen, and the only thing standing in their way was the calendar, maybe a final script could emerge sooner rather than later.
If Gambit is just now going back to a page one rewrite, it could be some time before another director signs on.
Then again, it’s even theoretically possible that the formerly-attached Rupert Wyatt could find a way to put Gambit back on his schedule.
Scheduling conflicts with his upcoming sci-fi thriller Captive State is mainly what led Wyatt to depart from Gambit in the first place.
