Fox has also caused a buzz by slating two mystery Marvel projects with release dates of October 6, 2017 and January 12, 2018. Both Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT and THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US with Idris Elba are now unset, meaning they’re still in development and moving forward, but will find a release date home later on.

Fox just quietly removed Gambit from its upcoming release schedule, suggesting that the movie needs some more time to stew. There is no new date for “Gambit”. The film was originally slated for an October 6, 2017 release. Could one of these be the Deadpool sequel?
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS – and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction.
Deadpool 2 seems to be a certainty, though we’ll have to wait for an official confirmation. The film is set to open opposite Pitch Perfect 3 and Blazing Samurai. The first project will face Andy Serkis’ The Jungle Book: Origins at Warner Bros. on October 6, 2017, while the latter is going up against the Blade Runner sequel at Warner Bros. and Paramount/MGM’s Sherlock Gnomes on January 12, 2018.
FERDINAND moves from April 7, 2017 to July 21, 2017.
Fox’s comedy Why Him? will now debut December 25, 2016.

Rumors have fed speculation about whether or not this movie will actually be released, despite Tatum’s obvious enthusiasm, but this could be the first positive news we’ve heard in a while.
