Gambit's road to production has been...troubled, to say the least. With the constant delays, replacements and troubling rumours, some fans think that Gambit being released is very unlikely at this point. But producer Simon Kinberg doesn't think that way. Talking with
Slashfilm, he openly talked about the film's delays and such, citing 'finding the right tone' as the reason why.
"I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone,” Kinberg told Slashfilm. “Deadpool feels like it exploded out of nowhere, but it was a 10-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those 10 years".
“
I hope that Gambit doesn’t take 10 years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right,” Kinberg added “
The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it’s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character, and I think we’re really close right now.”
Well, it is to be seen whether Gambit finally gets into production and reaches cinemas, but there's a very 50/50 feel to it. Maybe the film will get released, but maybe it just won't. Kinberg sounds confident, though. As always, be sure to leave your thoughts below. Plus, for those who want to know a little more about the Kajun thief, then here's a video by
WatchMojo detailing his origin.
