Channing Tatum exits Gambit ?

After setting a start date, Gambit (2016) has now suffered a major setback as its lead star Channing has reportedly dropped out of the 20th Century Fox film.

The deal between Tatum and the studio is in serious jeopardy and may fall apart. Tatum and his creative partner Reid Carolin were initially set to produce the movie, reported Ace Showbiz.

However, it is not clear whether the producing duo will still be involved in producing capacity, or whether Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner will move forward without the help of any other producers.

Tatum will next be seen in this Christmas release The Hateful Eight, in which he stars alongside Samuel 

L Jackson and Kurt Russell.
