Channing Tatum's long-desired Gambit film never materialized, but Lizzy Caplan, who was attached to star, shared insights into its potential direction. She described the film as a '30s screwball romantic comedy, which could have offered a refreshing twist to superhero genres. Caplan mentioned that they were actively working on the project, having met with Tatum and producers, indicating a serious commitment to bring the film to fruition before it was eventually shelved. The project showcased ambition to break genre conventions, which makes its cancellation particularly surprising.
It was a really cool idea. It's kind of odd that it got scrapped. Those movies don't seem to ever get scrapped, but it did.
I think there was a start date. I had had meetings with Channing, and there were a couple different... we had a director, then we didn't.
