RUMOR: JAMES BOND Star Daniel Craig Eyed To Play The Villainous Mr. Sinister In The GAMBIT Movie
Last week, Splash Report shared what they claimed was a detailed plot synopsis for 20th Century FOX's Gambit movie. The breakdown revealed that Nathaniel Essex, A.K.A. Mr. Sinister, would be the primary villain of the film, and now we might just have an idea of which actor the studio is looking at to play him.
According to the site's follow-up report, there are "conversations" about bringing in Daniel Craig - who recently appeared alongside Channing Tatum in Logan Lucky - to play Sinister in Gambit before reprising the role for other future X-Men movies.
We'll have to treat this as a rumor for now, but these guys have had some solid scoops in the past so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Gore Verbinski To Direct ‘Gambit’ With Channing Tatum At Fox
I’m hearing that Gore Verbinski is making a deal to direct Gambit at Fox. The X-Men spinoff has been a high priority at the studio, since Channing Tatumstepped up to star in the film as Remy LeBeau, the suave mutant from New Orleans who can turn objects into projectiles. That includes a deck of cards. Free Association’s Tatum and Reid Carolin are producing the film with X-Men overseers Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg. Josh Zetumer wrote the script. The film formerly had Doug Liman and Rupert Wyatt attached, and the character was first seen in a cameo played by in a small dose by Taylor Kitsch in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Verbinski most recently directed A Cure For Wellness, but he’s adept at big scale films, having originated the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

20th Century Fox says that the February 14, 2019 release date it had reserved on the calendar is being designated for Gambit starring Channing Tatum. Deadline exclusively reported that Gore Verbinski is set to direct the long-in-the-works X-Men movie from Josh Zetumer’s script. Producers are Tatum, Reid Carolin, Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner.
