Gambit is a sexy thriller & heist movie according to producer
Originally set to release spring 2016, Gambit has been pushed back to a theatrical release sometime in 2017. For whatever reason, the film is getting comparisons to fellow X-Men Cinematic Universe film, Deadpool, which will be hitting the big screen in three months.
However, Gambit producer Simon Kinberg, went to clarify any confusion and clear up any rumors regarding if the films had a similarity with Deadpool in an interview with Collider. Kinberg said, the film starring Channing Tatum as the popular mutant will have its own distinction from the other films, as a sexy thriller and heist movie. Take a look at his full comments below.
“I mean Deadpool obviously has a very different, almost antithetical tone to the mainline X-Men movies,” says Kinberg. “The X-Men movies are dramatic and almost operatic, whereas Deadpool is irreverent and hysterical and sort of a dirty R-rated comedy in many ways. And Gambit will have its own different flavor and tone to it, will be more of like a heist movie and a sexy thriller in a way.”
