14 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed (And Why)

14. Gambit

Gambit Channing Tatum
Fox & Marvel

Release Date: June 7, 2019

Why It's Doomed: Hoo boy, where to begin with this one? Fox has been trying to get a movie starring the fan favourite X-Men member made for more than a decade.

In mid-2014, Channing Tatum was officially signed to star, and at various stages in the years that followed, Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman and Gore Verbinski were all attached to direct.

Each eventually quit the project, with Verbinski being the most recent departure due to the ever-popular "scheduling conflicts."

It seems that the movie's most likely a tough nut to crack creatively, and if it really does make its new June 2019 release date (moved from February 14, 2019), Fox could end up rushing a new director through the process and making the final product suffer for it.

Rarely do products that languish this long in development hell, while burning through numerous successful directors no less, actually turn out well.
