In the wake of Gore Verbinski’s departure from the Gambit film earlier today, 20th Century Fox has done some massive shifting of its entire release slate of X-Men movies.
The good news is Deadpool 2 is being moved up by two weeks and will now open May 18th, just one week before Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The real shock though is that The New Mutants, Josh Boone’s horror-themed take on Marvel’s teen heroes, has been delayed ten months. Originally slated for April 13th, it will now hit February 22nd 2019.
Gambit meanwhile, which was slated for a February 14th 2019 opening, will now hit June 7th 2019 assuming it finds a director soon that it doesn’t lose.
The release of X-Men: Dark Phoenix remains unchanged.
