Fox is adjusting the release schedule for its X-Men movies. Deadpool 2 will now release on May 18th, 2018, two weeks earlier than planned, to strategically avoid competition with Disney's Solo: A Star Wars Story. New Mutants is delayed by 10 months to February 22nd, 2019, to prevent overlap with other X-Men films in overseas markets. Gambit's release is moved to June 7th, 2019, following the exit of its director, Gore Verbinski. The studio believes Gambit will perform better as a summer release. The Hollywood Reporter encourages fans to share their excitement about these changes.
