A month ago, director Rupert Wyatt dropped out of Gambit, the X-Men spinoff starring Channing Tatum as the eponymous Cajun who can charge items with kinetic energy to make them explode (his weapon of choice is playing cards).

Earlier today, Jeff Sneider tweeted out a rumor that Tatum might be eyeing Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman for the gig:
