GAMBIT, DOCTOR DOOM And The Rest Of Fox's Planned Marvel Projects Have Reportedly Been Scrapped

It looks like The New Mutants will indeed be the final 20th Century Fox movie based on a Marvel Comics property, as the likes of Gambit, Doctor Doom and Silver Surfer have reportedly been scrapped...

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone after the news of Disney's successful acquisition of Fox's assets, but it looks like the majority of the studio's upcoming X-Men and Fantastic Four spin-offs are officially dead as a dodo's uncle.

There were rumors that Fox may still have been hoping to get Gambit into production early this year, but according to Daniel Richtman, it has now been scrapped. Obviously this means that all of the planned post-Gambit projects we'd heard about, such as Silver Surfer, Kitty Pryde and Multiple Man, have also been shelved.

Apparently, there is still some life in X-Force, but the studio would have to get that up-and-running within the next two months so... yeah, probably not gonna happen.

If this is on the level - and it probably is - X-Men: Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants will be the last "FoxMen" movies before the characters return home to Marvel Studios.

I think majority of us figured that Dark Phoenix and New Mutants would be the last Fox Marvel movies we'd get. I think they're gonna end up sucking.

@JohnnyTBP - someone, quickly post that sad pic of all the actors in the Fox Men universe from a comic con several years back.

@JohnnyTBP - I feel bad for Channing Tatum, he has been waiting for this to get made and everything has been against him. I think he could make a good gambit. I would prefer a real Cajun actor though.

@JonAwesome - I mean sure, it sucks to have been trying to get something made for years, only for it to never happen. Though that's show business for ya (Hellboy 3, for example...). More importantly though, most people didn't want Tatum for Gambit.
