Disney may have bought the rights to the X-Men when it purchased a hefty chunk of Fox.
Now upcoming movies Gambit and The New Mutants have been pushed back, but should fans worry?
According to Hollywood Reporter, The New Mutants has been moved 10 months back to February 2019.
Sources say the reason is so the X-Men horror doesn’t overlap with Deadpool 2, when both would have been released at the same time in some overseas terrorises.

Meanwhile Channing Tatum’s Gambit has moved from February 2019 to June of that year and director Gore Verbinski has left the project.
He follows Rupert Wyatt who left in October 2015 and Doug Liman in August 2017.
According to insiders Gambit will be a comedy set around a heist and will have better chances at the box office as a summer blockbuster.
