A deep dive into the X-Men films that Fox had in development before the Disney merger.

DIsney appears to have shut down development on the number of Fox’s X-MEN franchise films.

If the studio gets any into production before the Fox/Disney merger closes Disney will be obligated to finish and release them.

In “believe it when I see it” news, Simon Kinberg hopes to start shooting the long-delayed GAMBIT film by the end of this summer.

We might see the Fox Marvel characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as early as 2019.

The bad news is that while we will be getting DEADPOOL 2 earlier, NEW MUTANTS and GAMBIT are being pushed back.

The film a just starting to cast ahead of production start this March.

With a release date set, the X-MEN franchise spin-off starts building up its cast.

The studio is finally ready to get the film into production.

Verbinski becomes the latest big-name director to try and bring Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT to the big screen.
